Hi,
I've been trying unsuccessfully over the past couple of days to get my
windows machines to recognize my linux box. I've been working through
the troubleshooting guides I can't get the query of the client machine
to work using the broadcast address:
I have the following 3 machine network:
lifebook SUSE 192.168.1.100
renegade WXP 192.168.1.101
maverick W2K 192.168.1.105
lifebook:/var/log/samba # nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255 -d10 renegade
Initialising global parameters
params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file
"/etc/samba/smb.conf"
Processing section "[global]"
doing parameter netbios name = LIFEBOOK
handle_netbios_name: set global_myname to: LIFEBOOK
doing parameter workgroup = @HOME
doing parameter server string = Samba %v on host %h, NetBIOS %L
doing parameter encrypt passwords = Yes
doing parameter guest account = smbguest
doing parameter security = share
doing parameter log file = /var/log/samba/samba-log.%m
doing parameter socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8182
SO_SNDBUF=8192
doing parameter wins support = yes
doing parameter os level = 33
doing parameter domain master = yes
doing parameter preferred master = yes
doing parameter log level = 3
pm_process() returned Yes

Socket opened.

lifebook:/var/log/samba #
I believe the broadcast address of the windows machines are also
192.168.1.255, but how do I confirm this? A ping on the broadcast
address only hits the linux machine and the Linksys switch:
lifebook:/var/log/samba # ping -b 192.168.1.255
WARNING: pinging broadcast address

Shouldn't the ping also be hitting the windows machines?
