I have a network with several WORKGROUPS(lets call them X,Y and Z) in it and a samba server which is in one of the WORKGROUPS(X). I have enabled WINS support in samba and all client machines has WINS server IP configured that points to the samba server. Problem: When a browsning the network from a client I can only see a some nodes(or none at all) in WORKGROUPS Y and Z. Usally it takes 10-20

I have 2 subnets. Subnet 1 has an NT WINS server. Subnet 2 has a Samba server acting as domain master browser and local master browser for a workgroup. If I view the network neighborhood from a Win 95 PC on Subnet 1 (call it PC_A), I can see all the hosts in the workgroup on both subnets. If I view the network neighborhood from a Win 95 PC on Subnet 2 (call it PC_B), I cannot see PC_A. I

...lots of WAN-wide browsing problems, mainly because Local Master Browsers are turned off etc. I got this idea: When clients register their names with the WINS-server (nmbd), why not add that name to the Domain Master Browsers (the same nmbd) browselist? This would make it unneccessary to deal with LMBs. Is this possible to implement? /Peter ?strand <peter@student.liu.se>, Linkoping University, Sweden

...ust a quirk of the way the documentation is laid out, or does it imply there is a closer connection between browsing and WINS? I think it is the former, but it gets a little confusing, particularly when the same chapter is discussing two different types of synchronization: synchronization between LMBs and DMBs (which Samba *does* support -- I think) and also discussing synchronization of data between WINS servers (which Samba does *not* support). - Logan [1] except that browse servers use WINS name services to find each other, but then lots of other things use WINS to find each ot...

...ain network has two IP subnets on it. On this network, there are two SMB workgroups (actually NT domains, as there's a PDC for each). The members of the DEERECO workgroup are all in the 192.168.101.0 subnet, while the HS workgroup computers are all 192.168.100.0. The PDCs for each domain are LMBs and DMBs on their respective subnets. One Samba-running (and Linux-running) host in the HS workgroup is using IP aliasing and has IP addresses in each subnet. It is the LMB for the HS group on the 192.168.101.0 subnet. There are two other subnets on different network segments (i.e. with routers...

...ing intrinsics will annoy users because they will ---------- intrinsic? have to put up with protracted inability to use the network services. For subnets other than the one containing the Windows NT PDC, you may set up Samba servers as LMBs as described.

Hi list! I've got a debian "etch" box running samba 3.0.24. The server is a firewall (running Shorewall 3.2.6) with five NICs: eth0 -> DSL (it has a public IP address and it allows all the people browse by masquerading other interfaces) eth1 and eth3 -> bond0 (IP address is 192.168.1.1/24) eth2 and eth4 -> bond1 (IP address is 192.168.2.1/24) BTW, bond+ refers to an

Hi, everybody: Forgive me for bringing this to you. We normally use Samba servers but are dealing with a situation involving two Windows 2003 servers and browsing, and the truth is, I can't think of a better forum to bring questions about browsing. We have the following situation: Domain controller is a Windows 2000 machine at 192.168.0.100 The backup domain controller is a Windows 2003

I'm trying to join an XP SP2 PC called testpc to a test environment. Its network settings are statically set. IP address is 10.8.3.209. I have a PDC called gomer.mdah.state.ms.us w/ samba 3.0.26a and IP address is 10.8.3.37. On test PC I right click on my computer, properties, computer name, change from workgroup WORKGROUP to domain ADAMSTEST. But I get the error: Note: This information

...t to see services on other IP subnets, then you need to set up a Domain Master Browser (DMB). If you have a Windows NT Domain Controller, then that machine will appoint itself DMB. If you do *not* have a DMB, you can tell the Samba server to become a DMB and it will syncronize browse lists with LMBs on other subnets. If that happens, your browse.dat will get bigger.
