I don't really remember, but on my home network, my system could not be
seen from my wife's Win XP Pro system. Changing to srvhidden = no
fixed it.

I just did a search on Google and came up with:

http://www.warpdoctor.org/walter/articles/2000/aa111500a.html

Search on that page for "srvhidden". It doesn't explain, just says to
change it.

You might also look at:

http://www.redhill.net.au/ecs/ecslan.html

Google "srvhidden" for further references.
