I have ubuntu 14.04 LTS server with SAMBA installed and configured as a local network file server. My problem is it shows up on mac in finder with no problem but on windows it dose not show up unless i do \\***.***.*.** (* = numbers to my local ip). I have also done the "Map network drive..." but eventually it goes to a icon with the network drive icon and a x that when cliked basically says it dose not exist, etc. How do i get it to show in windows and STAY? I go the following things in smb.conf that are for windows
Spoiler
wins support = yes
....
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
