I'm stumped on getting Samba to work again on our small network. I've got one Windows 95 machine that started to refuse to talk to Samba last week. I *was* running one of the 1.9.18 releases, but when it stopped working, I figured I would delete the old release and do a clean install of 2.0.3. I've done that, and used SWAT to configure the smb.conf file (which can be seen below). testparm smb.conf did not return any errors. I believe the problem is on the Windows side of things, but I don't know where. Some data on the setup: Samba 2.0.3 running under FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE Local network is 192.168.1.* Samba server (AKA GATEWAY, AKA SERVER): 192.168.1.3 Windows machine (AKA LINDA): 192.168.1.7 Samba is set to be a WINS server and LINDA points to it. lmhosts set to the above IPs. Using DIAGNOSIS.txt, I can get to TEST 5, where by I get the following: gateway# nmblookup -B LINDA '*' Added interface ip=192.168.1.3 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Sending queries to 192.168.1.7 name_query failed to find name * TEST 4 shows Samba running: gateway# nmblookup -B SERVER __SAMBA__ Added interface ip=192.168.1.3 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Sending queries to 0.0.0.0 Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 192.168.1.3 ) 192.168.1.3 __SAMBA__<00> TEST 8 also fails with an Error 51. Do I need to set Samba as the Domain Master Browser to get this to work? (It's not been this much trouble before! I "dislike" windows...) See below the smb.conf, log.smb and log.nmb files (Debug level 2).
