[Samba] Devices not appearing/Manually add devices to Browse List ?
I'm not quite sure whether this is a plain browsing problem, or a wins problems, or ... I had wins running on one machine (Samba(2.0.5a)/SCO Unix), but my main file server on another (Samba (2.2.1a)/Linux). I moved the wins support to the Linux server, and at the same time I made the Linux server the Domain Master Browser, but now some devices have dissapeared from the network. The devices in question are colour copiers with Fiery RIPs. These RIPs do NOT have any means to set anything other than the device name and basic IP parameters (address, netmask, gateway). I am not aware of any changes having been made to their configs. On the other hand, nmblookup gives me this result (same for both printers) : from Linux server :>[root@spock samba]# nmblookup -d3 -A 172.20.192.63 >Initialising global parameters >params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf" >Processing section "[global]" >params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf." >added interface ip=172.20.192.39 bcast=172.20.193.255 nmask=255.255.254.0 >bind succeeded on port 0 >Socket opened. >Looking up status of 172.20.192.63 >read socket failed.

Hi Simon, You say that the print servers did not change? Are you running NETBEUI or NETBIOS on the print servers? I had to throw out two old print servers because they could only do NETBEUI and no NETBIOS. As you may already know, Samba does not work with NETBEUI. Also, can you manually make a telnet connection to port 139 of these servers?

Teach me to not explore EVERY menu option, even the ones that don't sound relevant. <plonker mode off> I think the other one is probably the same problem, but it definitely doesn't have the same menus. Oh well, off to see if I can get any info from Minolta ...
