Dear sirs,
I have a problem with samba: 2 computers on the smalest
network possible, and the Win98 can't browse the
Linux-Samba shares.
Sorry for insisting, but maybe someone can help me. I've
cut a lot of output from testparm for making it more
readable. PLEASE HELP!!! Using security=server as Daniel
Tan suggested didn't change anything.
I followed the 10 steps diagnosing procedure from John D.
Blair's book "Samba - Integrating UNIX and Windows":
1) testparm gave the following result [this may give an
overview about smb.conf settings]:
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[tmp]"
Processing section "[c]"
Processing section "[d]"
Processing section "[public]"
Loaded services file OK.

# Global parameters
[global]
coding system =
client code page = 850
workgroup = STANDALONE
netbios name =
netbios aliases =
netbios scope =
server string = Samba Server
- - - - [cut all those lines...] - - - - - - - - -
fake directory create times = No
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
guest ok = Yes
[c]
path = /mnt/win95
guest only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
[d]
path = /mnt/w95ext
guest only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
[public]
path = /mnt/w95ext/public
writeable = Yes
guest only = Yes
guest ok = Yes
2) Both computer can 'ping' the otherone either as IP
address or by host name [included in hosts].
3) smbclient -L NKHOME -U '' -N (smbd running and
accesible) gives:
added interface ip=10.0.0.1 bcast=10.255.255.255
nmask=255.0.0.0
Domain=[STANDALONE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.7]

--------- -------
NKHOME Samba Server

--------- -------
STANDALONE NKHOME
Also the ps -aux | grep smbd shows the daemon running:
root 642 0.0 0.4 3892 1268 ? S 19:43
0:00 smbd -D
root 1285 0.0 0.2 1620 592 pts/1 R 20:04
0:00 grep smbd
smbclient -L MELINTE -U '' -N (on the other host) correctly
shows the shares on the Win98.
4) nmblookup -B NKHOME __SAMBA__ [nmbd running] returns:
querying __SAMBA__ on 127.0.0.1
10.0.0.1 __SAMBA__<00>
Also ps -aux | grep nmbd shows the output:
root 647 0.0 0.5 3252 1380 ? S 19:43
0:00 nmbd -D
root 1289 0.0 0.2 1620 592 pts/1 R 20:04
0:00 grep nmbd
5) The client's NetBIOS name can be resolved:
nmblookup -B MELINTE '*'
querying * on 10.0.0.2
10.0.0.2 *<00>
6) Broadcast address correctly determined:
nmblookup -d 2 '*'
added interface ip=10.0.0.1 bcast=10.255.255.255
nmask=255.0.0.0
querying * on 10.255.255.255
Got a positive name query response from 10.0.0.2 ( 10.0.0.2
)
10.0.0.2 *<00>
What looks odd here is that the linux [10.0.0.1] doesn't
seem to respond (none of the commands issued).
7) User authentication seems to work:
smbclient '\\nkhome\tmp'
added interface ip=10.0.0.1 bcast=10.255.255.255
nmask=255.0.0.0

And I also can smbmount the Win98 shares without problems.
8) nmbd does not respond to the PC:
net view \\nkhome [on Win98] ends in:
Error 59: An unexpected network error has occurred. Quit
all running
programs, restart your computer, and then try again. If the
problem persists,
contact your network administrator.
meanwhile, tcpdump on the Linux shows:
