With win31 is happened to me, that after the samba-server won, one of the client immediatly started a new election. Under win3.11 this can be stopped by setting MaintainServerList = NO LMAnnounce = NO in the system.ini's network section Under win95, there are similary setting somewhere in the registry.

I am using samba-1.9.18p10 in a Redhat 5.1 Linux box. I have a short question, i.e. Is it true that once the nmbd is running and becoming the Master Browser, others win95 clients will not act as Master Browser anymore ?

Hi there! Is there a distribution/project wherein linux acts only as a master browser for WinXX boxes? I know samba can do this but is it possible to have a very minimal pc specs just to act as a master browser? Thanks for help a dummy. Ramon
Hello all, I've got a Linux box acting as the firewall/masquerader to a W2KPro and a W98 machines. This Linux box is connected to a DSL connection on eth1 and runs the internal 'LAN' on eth2. Now, I've successfully setup Samba services on Linux and they're working like a charm. I have a problem though. Communication over smb protocol is extremely low. The collision led on the ethernet hub goes by the hand with the activity leds. Note that this doesn't happen for outbound/inbound connection. This problem affects only protocols whose startpoint/endpoint stays within my Class C private network (192.168.1.). The only thing I've found so far is that the Linux box successfully becomes a master browser for my internal interface, but keeps trying every 5 minutes to become a master browser for the external interface (it's blocked by the firewall, so it doesn't reach my ISP). How do i make the smb service to work only for the internal interface ? Anybody has an idea of why I'm getting that many collisions? Of course, this slows file transfer (at the windows explorer level) down to a near screeching halt (well, looks like that to me :) Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Juan B. Rodriguez
