Hi,
I can't get "net view \\<servername>" to work from my
Windows test
client.
It fails with "The network path was not found". I followed
some of the online debugging guides and have found that a
couple of the test nmblookups on the server are failing.
The server is named 'fileserver1' and its IP address is
155.2.196.251 for the purpose of this email. Here's some test
results and my smb.conf follows. Thanks in advance for the help!
* nslookup and ping work in both directions
* #smbclient //fileserver/test -U<user>
Password:
Domain=[OUR_ADM] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.8]
smb: \> --> I can browse the share
* #nmblookup -B fileserver1 __SAMBA__
added interface ip=155.2.196.251 bcast=152.2.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
querying __SAMBA__ on 127.0.0.1
Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 155.2.196.251 )
155.2.196.251 __SAMBA__<00>
* #nmblookup -B our219.our.xxx.com '*'
added interface ip=155.2.196.251 bcast=155.2.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
querying * on 155.2.196.219
Got a positive name query response from 155.2.196.219 ( 155.2.196.219 )
155.2.196.219 *<00> --> this is a test client and it found the
IP address correctly
* #nmblookup -d 2 '*'
added interface ip=155.2.196.251 bcast=152.2.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
querying * on 155.2.255.255
name_query failed to find name * --> problem?
* # nmblookup -M //fileserver1
added interface ip=152.2.196.251 bcast=152.2.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
querying //fileserver1 on 152.2.255.255
name_query failed to find name //fileserver1#1d --> definitely
seems like a problem
lmhosts file looks like:
127.0.0.1 localhost
155.2.196.219 our219.our.xxx.com --> client
155.2.196.251 fileserver1 --> server
