No, its not. I gave my linux machines IP as the WINS primary and secondary 
address for my TCP/IP ethernet card in my Windows machine.

I don't know what name to give to search for. I tried giving the alias name of 
my Linux machine but nope nothing.

>* Are you not able to share linux box'es file space or printer from windows?
No, can't share cuz can't see the computer.

>* Are you not able to share windows' file space or printers from linux box?
Nope same as above.
