Specifying Browser Computers When you start a computer running Windows 2000, the browser service looks in the registry for the entry MaintainServerList to determine whether a computer will become a browser. MaintainServerList is found in the following registry subkey: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters Table I.1 shows the values to which MaintainServerList can be set and the meaning for the computer's par...

I've been running samba servers with 200+ W98 machines for some time. I'm changing to W2k and everything was going fine. I've upgraded 40 boxes. One W2k box has started announcing itself as a local master browser for one of the workgroups. A samba server thinks it is master, forcing election. Samba will stop being the LMB for about 3 minutes and then will re-establish itself as

...master = yes domain master = yes os level = 255 Well, if I configure the resident computer correctly, ie: -On windows computers, add a 'wins server' in the TCP/IP properties, and set the registry parameter HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\"MaintainServerList" to No -On linux computers, set 'os level' to 0 and 'local master' to no in the samba configuration file. Then no election is generated and so my server is fine. Here is an example of what I see in my log file when I'm losing my status of 'local master' [2008/0...

this isn't strictly a samba question, but it is related in that i'm trying to a samba server as my domain master browser and multiple samba servers as local master browsers for a workgroup across multiple subnets. everything seems to be working wonderfully except for one WfWG host which does not show up in the browse list as expected. i notice that this host is announcing itself as a

...ll be some broadcast storms from time to time when they're settling the issue who shall win the election. You should add the following options in [global]: wins support = Yes preferred master = Yes domain master = True and tell your clients to never start elections. That's "MaintainServerList"="No" under HKLM key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters in the Win2K registry. I wish you good luck. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ... Get Lycos Mail! http://login.mail.lycos.com/r/...

...s at the server. The Server has all the ip-addresses in his wins-database, and all the clients in his browse list. The Clients saw each other in the broswe lists, until I detected that they kept electing the browser-master all the time. I stopped this by adding "LM Annouce=no" and "MaintainServerList=no" to the win.ini. Now, that clients pause after trying to browse the network, and then only see them self) I played with this for a week now, and have to idea anymore... mfg, fgp --------------------------------- Mail me for my PGP 5.0 public key ---------------------------...

I am using samba-1.9.18p10 in a Redhat 5.1 Linux box. I have a short question, i.e. Is it true that once the nmbd is running and becoming the Master Browser, others win95 clients will not act as Master Browser anymore ?

Hi list, I have a network with a Linux server, running samba 2.2.x, and 10 Workstation. 3 of the workstation are Win2000 and the rest is Win98 and WinME. In the logfiles I see that every 10 Minutes the Win2000 Workstations are forcing a election to become the local master browser for the network. The server wins the election each time but there is still a small amount of time (maybe 4 minutes)

...my workgroup it kills the network neighbourhood and the only machines seen is the vista client and my fileserver. By changing the regedit entries on the client side following this advice: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > Browser > Parameters MaintainServerList = No IsDomainMaster = FALSE seemed to help a bit, but the problem still remains. There is one user with a Vista Home Edition that still have this problem. The global part of smb.conf: netbios name = XXXX-FILE workgroup = XXXX security = user server string = Samba ver....

I've got to networks connected through leased line, routing set between networks, WINS server running on Samba. There's one primary samba server, and Win98/WinXP clients connected to it. First network with samba server works great with win98 and winxp. Second network also works ok with win98 clients, but when I connect Winxp it can't even open "my network places" and show

What settings do I change if that's the recommended course? Or is there a configuration I should use where the winXP is primary and C20...

The browsing capability in Network Neighborhood disppears periodically. Usually, double-clicking on Network Neighborhood gives us a list of all the NT and Unix/samba boxes on the network segment (i.e. in the Workgroup). When browsing disppears, all we see is *Entire Network*, which has nothing in it. We run a unix/NT network with 6 unix servers and about 80 NT clients. We are running NT

Hi there. First time posting to this but I'm getting desperate so apologies for any netiquette faux pas... I'm running a Suse box with Samba on it, with Windows XP SP2 clients viewing it in a workgroup. Some pc's are having timeouts when attempting to view a network share though. In the logs, sometimes at the same time as the timeouts, this appears: [2005/07/28 13:19:08, 0]

Hi, everybody! I have 20 WinXP client machines and a sever running Samba (first try was with 2.2.8, now it's 3.0.0rc1). If it matters to someone (for statistics, fun or for understanding the problem), i use Slackware 9.0 Linux, kernel 2.4.20 on server (and clients are XPpro/SP1, buld 2600 as far as i remember). I almost had no problems configuring samba for browsing and fortunately i
