I experienced something similar once, and I *believe* that you might need a PDC (or at least some sort of DC) in each subnet to get resolution via hostname (or, more exactly, "windows machine name"). I forget why this needs to be done however. One temporary solution is to access the boxes via IP address instead of hostname... So instead of accessing \\mybox <file://\\mybox> , you would access \\10.0.0.1 <file://\\10.0.0.1> (assuming that was the IP for the machine called "mybox").

Now I cannot reach all 3 Samba servers that I have. Any idea why? One clue I have is that the machine is now not visible via DNS as it has been fed a dynamic address.

Any idea why?`ping' is a wonderful network diagnostic tool. Can you ping your servers, by IP address? If not, you have network routing problems. If so, you should be able to work something out.> One clue I have is that the machine is now not visible via DNS as it > has been fed a dynamic address. Do I need to use Dynamic DNS for > this to work?DNS is mostly irrelevant to SMB. To locate each other, hosts use either an "lmhosts" file, or NetBIOS name service (NBNS, aka WINS), or broadcast. If your clients are in a different broadcast domain (i.e. a broadcast packet does not reach one from the other), you will have to use either lmhosts or NBNS. I suggest the latter. If you are not already doing so, designate one of your Samba servers as the NBNS server in smb.conf: wins support = true In your other Samba servers, use wins support = false wins server = ip.of.NBNS.server In your DHCP configuration, tell the clients about this state of affairs. Assuming you use the ISC dhcpd, put this in dhcpd.conf: # Win95 bug: must have two NBNS servers. Put the one in twice. option netbios-name-servers ip.of.NBNS.server ip.of.NBNS.server; option netbios-node-type 8; Peter
Hi, Can a machine getting its IP address by DHCP run as a Samba server? I've set up several Red Hat machines as Samba servers. They all have static IP addresses. I want to have a Red Hat 8.0 laptop which gets its IP address by DHCP running as a Samba server. I usually start Samba with "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start". When I do this on the laptop, it says that smb and nmb start OK. But when I do "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status" on the laptop, it says that smbd is stopped and nmbd is running. When I do "smbclient -L localhost" on the laptop, it says that connection is refused to 127.0.0.1. I've tried installing Samba 2.2.7a from source, and installing Samba 2.2.5 from RPMS. I still can't start smbd. Thanks for any suggestions, Hidong
Thanks,
I've turned off ipchains and iptables. Here's the global section of
/etc/samba/smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = Yes
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
os level = 33
preferred master = True
local master = No
domain master = False
dns proxy = No
wins support = Yes
guest account = smbuser
interfaces = 192.168.230.1/24
hosts allow = 192.168.230. 127.
I added the interfaces line according to your suggestion. I'm not sure
if this is correct. The Samba server laptop is getting an IP address of
192.168.230.37. I still can't start samba. "ps aux" shows nmbd
-D, but
no smbd. The strange thing is that the icon for the Samba server
appears in the Windows 2000 Network Neighborhood. But when I click on
the icon, I get an error window saying that the network path was not
found. I'm trying to set up this laptop as a Samba server so that I can
share files with a virtual Windows 2000 machine I set up in VMware on
this laptop. This configuration of native Red Hat running Samba with
guest OS Windows 2000 is something that I've been running for a long
time on a desktop Red Hat machine. For some reason, I can't get it
working on this laptop. Thanks,
Hidong
