Hi all,
I'm having a small problem with browsing. I've got a network full of
Windows (2000 and XP) machines and I've installed a Samba server in it.
The server is configured to be Domain Master Browser (DMB), Local Master
Browser (LMB) and WINS server for a workgroup. The Win machines are
configured to use the WINS server.
Name resolution works perfectly, but browsing doesn't. When I try to
browse the workgroup, only the Samba server itself shows up in the
browse list. None of the Win hosts are there. I've checked the
browse.dat file in /var/cache/samba, and it only contains the Samba
server and the workgroup.
More info (smb.conf, log.nmbd, browse.dat) below.
Any ideas ? Thanks in advance,
Steven
Samba version is 3.0.21b.
