Hi I use Mandrake Linux 10.0 and I recently upgraded from Samba 2.2.8 to Samba 3.0.2a. The Samba box is in a network that I do not control. The Win clients have nothing set in their network properties: no DNS server, no WINS server. Question 1: is it true that they get their name resolution from broadcasting? or from where else? Question 2: before the upgrade I was able to do ping netbiosname. Now ping does not work with a netbios name. I could not find what the difference is in the configuration. Is there a way to have ping (and other utilities) get the information from samba? (nmblookup, findsmb, all work fine and read all machines on the network). Question 3: When I use Linneighborhood it says "master without browse list". How can I fix that? Thanks Marc
