I have ubuntu with samba installed.

Initially My Windows were not able to see Ubuntu on my network list. After searchinga lot i found that i had to write this line in smb.conf and it worked

"ldap ssl = No"

Don't know why.

Now my MAC is also not able to see ubunut but if click on connect to server and use smb://servername then my connection is established.

Now is there any thing which i can do so that MAC can see ubuntu in share and i don't need to use connect to server thing.

Can you provide a few more details, such as: - What authentication backend you are using for Samba - The contents of the /etc/samba/smb.conf file from your Ubuntu computer. – David Harrison Apr 28 '10 at 0:37
Also what happens if you manually type the name of the share in OSX Finder's connect to server dialog? For example: cifs://ubuntu-server/share-name (Where ubuntu-server and share-name is the name of your server and the exposed share) – David Harrison Apr 28 '10 at 0:39
