Hi all,
Firstly - appologies for the cross post to those who are on both the ntdom &
samba lists...
I've got a Samba 2.2 PDC running a Linux box. Its the master browser and
its running as a WINS server. Yet when I look in Network Neighbourhood I
can't see any of the machines, yet when I run a 'Find' it can find
the boxes (I assume this it resolving the machine using WINS). I've read
through all the documentation that I can find and have checked that I have a
guest account setup, and have looked in the file logs and file used by nmbd to
store the WINS/browser info and these seem to show that its getting info about
machines. The only thing I am a little curious about is that it says its
becomming the master browser of the 164.11.222.200 subnet, yet this isn't a
subnet - its the IP address of the Samba server. Below are the relevant bits
nmbd's log. Any help would be appreciated as I'm stumped!!!
Here are the logs:
