[Samba] WinXP client can't browse list for the domain it joined
Hi, I just configured a RH9 with Samba 3.0.2a as the PDC for XP clients network. The XP clients can join the domain. When I trying to browse the "Microsoft Windows Network" on the client XP machines, I can see all the old Workgroups and the list of XP machines in those workgroups, and I can see the new domain (ZEUS1) I just created with the PDC's name, which is "hermes", under this new domain. However, I could not find those XP machines which newly joined to the new domain. If I search those machine names, XP can find those machines and browse the share folder of those machines. But by just browse the network neighborhood, I could not list the machines under the new domain. How do I make the changes so that the client XP machines can browse the name list of the domain? Below is my smb.conf. Thanks, Jason -------------------------------- [global] workgroup = ZEUS1 netbios name = hermes server string = hermes hosts allow = 192.168.1.119, 192.168.1., 192.168.0.10 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd passdb backend = smbpasswd username map = /etc/samba/smbusers socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 local master = yes os level = 33 domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes logon script = logon.cmd logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U logon home = \\homeserver\%U\winprofile wins support = yes dns proxy = no add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /etc/samba/netlogon readonly = yes write list = ntadmin [Profiles] path = /etc/samba/profiles browseable = no guest ok = yes writeable = yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printer = raw browseable = yes guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes

[Samba] Re: WinXP client can't browse list for the domain it joined
Here is the update for what I found: On one of the WinXP clients, enter "net view" only shows the Samba server "hermes", no other WinXP clients (not even itself): ============================================================Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\Documents and Settings\jason>net view Server Name Remark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \\HERMES hermes The command completed successfully. =============================================================== However, if use "net view \\pcjason" (pcjason is the NetBios name of the XP client itself), I can see the machine itself. ================================================================C:\Documents and Settings\jason>net view \\pcjason Shared resources at \\pcjason Jason's PC Share name Type Used as Comment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phaser6200 Print Phaser 6200DP SharedDocs Disk The command completed successfully. ================================================================== Thanks, Jason Jason Zhang wrote:> Hi, > > I just configured a RH9 with Samba 3.0.2a as the PDC for XP clients > network.
