Hi all, After a while I have tracked down my problem with basic browsing. nmbd deamon is running BUT is not doing anything useful. Here it is: root 18944 0.0 1.3 2312 832 ? S Feb11 0:00 /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D root 18945 0.0 0.1 2248 64 ? S Feb11 0:00 /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D The first one binds the udp ports 137 and 138. I have tried the suggestions in the online documentation without finding my error or a solution. I have also read the Samba book by Borkner-Delcarlo without success. I am not posting here my smb.conf and my log files, but I will if it is requested. Praise ps: I have seen in /etc/services that wins ports are 1512 (udp and tcp). My server is configured to be a wins, but both 1512 ports are closed. Maybe I have another problem?? Or is it just the same?
