Network drive... headache

[coolmatt]

Hi,

I connect to a Ubuntu server from my Mac but this machine appears twice in Finder under "Shared" : one time with its name (cronos) and another time with IP... Clicking on the IP address works and I can access the content but if I click on the name... connection fails :-(
The wierd thing is : I can SSH the server with "cronos.local" !

Does anybody know how to fix this situation : remove one of the links from the finder and keep the name instead of the IP ?

Maybe a hint : a while ago I switched from AFP to SMB... if this rings a bell ?


Thank you for your help.
Regards,
matt.

NB : "MEDIA" is another mount (USB disk)

Here is the solution :

On Ubuntu :

1/ Disable avahi-daemon
2/ Modify /etc/samba/smb.conf file by adding (after the WORKGROUP lin) :

netbios name = NAME (where NAME defines your server name)

3/ Restart Samba : sudo service smbd restart

On Mac :

Login again...
