Topic: stupid issue that's driving me nuts

[AidansDad]

I use SME boxes as NAS / disaster servers for the various production plants I support.

anyway I had one box ready for my tampa plant but needed to instead send it to my california Pa plant.  so I changed the IP address, root password and all the essentials.  it works just fine.  However I am having a minor issue that's making me crazy.  I changed the netbios server description with the advanced workgroup contrib.  when I navigate to the sme IP via UNC I get the correct description in the window title bar: "CAL disaster server." but when I click on a share and open it it shows the wrong description and reads: "jobs on tampa disaster server"

this doesn't affect functionality, but it's making me insane.  what am I missing?  I even deleted and recreated the ibay and I'm getting the same thing"

help?

update:

it only does it when I navigate to the SME server via IP address.

when I navigate via server name ie \\cal-linux\jobs

the description is correct.

it gets screwed up when I navigate to it via IP only.

Refresh or flush your browser cache ???

[AidansDad]

I've cleared the DNS cache, browser cache, netbios Cache etc.  still same silly but annoyingly irritating issue.  

can anyone even reproduce the problem?

A couple of more suggestions

or even install the squid cache manager contrib and flush your servers cache.

THANK YOU RAY !!!!  

It was the registry key mentioned in your first link.  I cleared that and it came up correctly.  

a toast to you!

and BTW.  SME Server with some extra contribs absolutely rocks for my purposes.  I reccomend this distro every chance I get!
