I have the following network setup. I have a route defined on the linux machine to the NT server with 'route add -host 208.222.17.11 eth0'. Gateway for this whole setup is 192.168.5.1. Linux machine is the domain and local master browser. Workgroup is the same on *all* machines. A WINS server is running on the NT machine and all workstations including the Linux machine use it. ** Any machine can ping any machine on this LAN ** ------- --------------------| HUB |------------------- | ------- | | | | | | | | | | | --------------- ------------- -------------- | Linux 2.0.33| | NT 4.0 sp3| |workstations| | SAMBA |------ ------------- -------------- | 1.9.18p3 | | 208.222.xx.xx 192.168.5.xx --------------- | WINS server eth0: 192.168.5.1 | | | --------------- | via PPP to | | internet | --------------- ppp0: 194.133.xx.xx The problem is that workstations cannot see the NT machine in their browse list (network neighborhood). However they can map any shares from the NT server and if the 'find computer' option is used, the NT machine is found and its share listed. On the other hand the NT server can see all the machines in its browse list. I have tried several configurations and read the docs but have had no success so far in getting the SAMBA servers browse list to list the NT server. I have added 208.222.xxx.xxx/32 to the interfaces option but then nmbd doesn't start and gives errors. In the current configuration i get this error in the nmbd log file. register_name_response: server at IP 208.222.xxx.xxx rejected our name registration of ISB<00> with error code 6. my_name_register_failed: Failed to register my name ISB<00> on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. standard_fail_register: Failed to register/refresh name ISB<00> on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET Please help me find a solution. Perhaps the secret lies in 'error code 6'? Also i am sure that i am missing some info out. Please let me know if you need it. This message is already quite long.
