Interestingly, my smb.conf doesn't have a "netbios name" keyword, either
active or commented-out. Presumably in the absence of the explicit keyword,
it implicitly uses the computer's hostname.

And my workgroup keyword is set to WORKGROUP, like yours is.


I must admit I don't use workgroups and just connect to a "server's" shares
using UNC \\server\share - for accessing all servers (Windows and Pi) from
all clients (Windows). For commonly-used shares, I mount the sharename on a
Windows drive letter ("net use r: \\martin-pi\pi-rec").
