I've set up a home network for application development. I'm trying to map drives from my server to my computer, but I can't get it to work. I'll try to be as complete as possible in describing my network and anything that might be relevant.
Home network with a configuration as follows:
router (name: mynetwork.net)-->
-->Internet (cable)
-->computer1 (vista)
-->hub-->
----->computer2 (xp/sp3)
----->server (ubuntu 8.04, LAMP, ColdFusion, name: myserver)
computers 1 and 2 have DHCP issued ip addresses
server has static ip address: 192.168.0.110
When logged into the router firmware, both computers are listed under "LAN Computers", but the server is not shown.
I have no problem accessing the server using Webmin or phpmyadmin, and the web server works fine using its ip address: http://192.168.0.110, but NOT using the name: http://myserver.
I need to map drives from the server to computer2 ("/var/www" & "/opt/coldfusion8").
But when I try:
1. The server isn't shown under the browse button.
2. If I type anything like "192.168.0.110" or "\\myserver" or "mynetwork.net/myserver" or any combination I could think of, I get this message: "The drive could not be mapped because no network was found."
If I Run: \\192.168.0.110, I get this message: "No network provider accepted the given network path."
The Workstation service is set to "automatic" and is shown as "started".
Any insights would be very much appreciated, as I really need this to work.

PS. Do I need to be running a file server in order to map to it?
I've run across mention of SMB and smb.conf in connection with mapping, which seems to be associated with Samba. Do I need a file server on my server in order to map to it?
