[Samba] Norton IS preventing Samba workgroup from appearing in W2K browse
I know this isn't a samba configuration issue, but I'm hoping someone might have encountered this problem before and knows the solution. I just installed a Buffalo LinkStation (Linux Samba NAS) on my network and was atempting to set up a shared printer. I have three systems. All are W2K. One uses BlackICE, the others use Norton Internet Security 2004. All of the systems, including the LinkStation samba, use the same workgroup. When I network browse on the BlackICE system the LinkStation appears. When I browse on either system using NIS the LinkStation doesn't appear. Both Norton systems have a trusted IP range that include the LinkStation and I'm able to set up a share if I provide the access (\\lan-hd1\share) path. However, I went into the Norton configuration and set the "windows 2000 SMB" to enable the same range specifically. This changed the browse so the LinkStation appeared in the "Entire Network" list under my workgroup, but it didn't appear in the "computers near me" list. I then disabled everything except the top level security with no change in behavior. When I disabled the whole thing, turning off Norton "Security" the linkstation appeared on both lists when browsing the network. This let me add the network printer setting through the "Add Printer" wizard. After turning Norton Security the network printer still works fine so it appears to be a set up issue for now. However, if I browse the LinkStation is no longer visable. Is there any way to inhibit what ever Norton Internet Security is blocking? Any suggestions would be appreaciated. -- Bud Curtis Colorado Springs, CO
