[Samba] Samba seems to be working - but Linux client can't see windows machines
I'm not sure whether this is a samba problem or not - but thought someone on the list will probably know. After quite a bit of fiddling - I think Samba is now doing what I want it to - providing file and printer sharing for my windows machines. However - my Centos 5.1 Linux box Can't browse the windows machines from the gnome/nautilus interface. I know the windows machines are publishing their shares - because I can write to files on the windows machines (from the linux box) if I address them by IP number and share name. When I try to browse the windows network in Nautilus I can see the workgroup which both the linux box and windows machines belong to (this is not a domain). If I try to double click the workgroup I get the error: The folder contents could not be displaced. Sorry couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: aardvarkwg" I have also seen the following error in my logwatch: --------------------- samba Begin ------------------------ **Unmatched Entries** nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_release_request(118) process_name_release_request: Attempt to release name AARDVARKWG<1d> from IP 192.168.0.2 on subnet 192.168.0.201 being rejected as it is one of our names. : 1 Time(s) ---------------------- samba End ------------------------- Could this be relates? 192.168.0.2 is a windows box. 192.168.0.201 is the Centos Linux box.
