I have managed to get it set up so that I can now use net commands to mount shares from my linux box onto my windows box. But I still don't see an icon for my linux box on the network niehborhood. I have waited and waited and tried what seems like everything but can't get that stupid icon to come up. Any ideas??? Scott
hello, i'm still using an old samba 1.9.17p4 (it still fits our needs :) but i have a strange problems with only one machine. on my lan, all servers are linux machines using samba. they all show up in the browse list (both on win95/3.11 machine and samba servers) but one doesn't. this machine can be reached, using smbclient or filemanager, but there's no way it is browsable. configuration, FWIW, is the same on all machine. i've grepped wins.dat, and this machine is in, but not in browse.dat. whatàs wrong with it? all machines use the same wins server/master browser .. i've read Mr. Blair's book, the browsing.txt doc, but to no avail .. please, help this is the relevant line in its smb.conf: ; browsing workgroup = xxx server string = %h server local master = no os level = 30 ; domain master = no ; preferred master = no wins support = no wins server = a.b.c.d status = yes -- Marco Frattola Piacenza "MY office is not a Microsoft Trademark!" mfrattola@enjoy.it
We have the following Network: +------------Router-----------+ | | | | | | --Network (A)-- ---Network (B)--- 10.1.1.1/24 10.1.2.1/24 Workgroup=NET1 Workgroup=NET2 Win9x, PC (A) Win9x, PC (B) PC (A) can browse all machines on Network A in NET1 and can see the NET2 workgroup. However it can't access the NET2 workgroup (it says the sharename can't be found). PC (B) can view all machines in the NET2 workgroup, can see NET1 workgroup, but also cannot view NET1. Both networks use the Samba Server in Network (A) as the WINS Server = 10.1.1.1, which works fine. Also, I can use WIN9x find-computer feature to find computers in the other subnet. I just can't browse via the network neighborhood into the other subnet. I have read all the documentation and tried all the suggestions. Any ideas? Router - FreeBSD 2.2.8 with 2 ethernet adapters and samba 1.9.18p10 Our smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = NET1 interfaces = 10.1.1.1/24 10.1.2.1/24 bind interfaces only = yes hosts allow = 10.1.1. 10.1.2. 127. guest account = nobody max log size = 50 debug level = 3 wins support = yes local master = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 65 socket options = TCP_NODELAY [homes] path = /home/%S comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes create mode = 0750 Thanks for any advice Vadik vpet@iname.com
Hi all, i have the following problem with my samba server (Suse 6.4). I set the server to be the master browser for the workgroup (prefered master yes, local master = yes ). But nmblookup told me that one of the win 98 clients becomes the master , if all win 98 clients are switched of the whole workgroup disapears from the "whole network" section (viewed from another workgroup). What can avoid the linux box to to be browseable wizhout a win98 client? Thanks a lot Arne

Hi Alin, the master browser = yes option doesnt work (testparm: "unknown parameter). I add the global section of my smb.conf. I thing something else must be wrong because the linux box doesnt loose the election who becomes the master browser, he doesnt even try.

Hi All I have problem with browsing computer names on routed network with this structure 1 segment -- (router1 + samba workgroup 1 + wins server) -- router3 -- (router2 NT server workgroup 2)-- segment 2 All PC on segment 1 browsing workgroup 1 ok but workgroup 2 not. In segment 2 equiv. I try use browse sync but dont work with NT. I try start samba workgroup 2 browse master on router 3 then NT server browse all segment but PC on segments not. All PC and NT server use one wins server and can resolve names but not browse. How can i resolve this problem.? Thats all folks.
I just had a Windows XP SP1 PC force an election and take over from my Samba PDC as the master browser. How is this possible? My smb.conf file has these brosing parameters; os level = 64 domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes I also have included a copy of my nmbd.log.

Hi, First, I think I should say I'm relatively new to linux and to using samba. I'm trying to share a directory on my linux machine to the rest of my network, the other computers are running win2k or xp. Now my share is setup as follows: [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /ddrive/public guest ok = yes and in the global section I've defined security as follows: security = share Now to my understanding of samba this should be enough for the other win machines to connect to my public share, however the win machines only see my workgroup, and nothing in it; I checked LinNeighborhood and I can connect to myself fine. Whats wrong here? --pat
