Hello, Is there *any* way to reliablily determine the NetBIOS name of a computer when you only know their IP address? I know it is very easy to find the IP address from the NetBIOS name, but I can't seem to find any way of getting a NetBIOS name from an IP.. James deBoer (jdeboer@scsinternet.com)

Hi all I've a samba server listen on eth0 (everything ok) and eth2 server1 has eth2: 192.168.100.212 <--> 192.168.100.213 (another linux server) with another interface 192.168.30.0/24 from network 192.168.30.0/24 I can ping 192.168.100.212 and works with samba shares (but only using numeric IP) I don't see any computers from windows machines. nbtstat doesn't find any host

On Win9x I issue the command: nbtstat -a <netbios name> If <netbios name> is a Win9x machine I got the MAC address of that machine on the last line of the command output. If it's a samba server the MAC address is not returned: MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 Is there anyone who gest the MAC address back from a samba server? -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it

Hi, I've been trying to get SSH tunnelling working with Samba. I'm using a Windows XP and a RedHat 8.0 box. I've closely followed the instructions from the HOWTO manual in order to set this up to no avail. I think the problem comes from the fact that my lmhosts file has no effect on the NetBIOS name cache when I preload it with the command 'nbtstat -R'. I checked the

Have a 2003 server located outside of the Domain network over a VPN. The server originally existed inside the network (10.1.1.0/24) but now exists on 10.10.12.0/24. I can access shares over the VPN to the domain controller, but when I try to log in as a domain user it says the domain is unavailable. I added the domain controller as a WINS server on the 2003 server. nbtstat -c on the 2003 does

I'm in the process of setting up Samba 3 on a Fedora core machine with a second machine being an XP machine. I can ping from either machine to the other. The command smbclient -L netbiosname on the linux machine gives me a "Connection to netbiosname failed On the XP machine I've enabled Wins over TCP IP but the command nbtstat -n on the XP machine only lists itself while the

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up a Windows XP Pro client to connect to a Samba server (version 2.2.8) on a Redhat 8.0 linux box, but have been having trouble for the past 3 days. I have gone through Troubleshooting Samba at [http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf] but I can't figure out how to fix the problem. I suspect that the broadcast address may not be the same on both

I recently reinstalled Linux on my fileserver (RedHat 7.2), which was running Samba (v 2.2.1a). Now, trying to reconfigure Samba back to its original state (silly me didn't keep a copy of the conf file) I've run into a problem. My win98 machines can't find the Samba server by name, but they can by number. By this I mean: On a Linux desktop, smbclient -L //marvin/ works as

Hi, I've got a browsing problem, I'm searching the error for a long time now so I think betimes it's a bug ;-) For debugging purposes, I've left away everything in the network that's not necessary. There's now only one XP-Prof workstation (domain member) and one samba server (3.0.22, acting as PDC) anymore. Bind9 is the local DNS server; Forward and PTR entries are

Hi all, All Win98 & Win2k used to be able to connect, but as of last week only one Win2k is able to access the share folder, but not without a little issue.

Hi, After lots of struggle and rtfm I finally got most things running, except for 'nmblookup' and 'net getlocalsid' on the BDC. I'm not new to Samba, but plenty more to learn. Here's the setup in summary: system pdc is the PDC on subnet 192.168.0.0, running SuSE10.1, LDAP master, wins server, domain master browser, no iptables; system bdc is the BDC on subnet 192.168.2.0,

Hello list. I use Slackware 10.2 with Samba 3.0.20 as PDC/WINS server in a LAN with 6 more PCs running WinME (I'm not to blame, they were there when I arrived). I've followed step by step the HOW-TO in setting up Samba as a PDC and a WINS server, but when I reboot one of the WinMEs I can't log on to the domain immediately. I have to hit [Esc], enter MS-DOS and do

I have just entered the wonderful world of windows filesharing at my small home LAN and I'm experiencing the following problem: When I continually listen to ogg files in Windows 2000 Server from a samba server the music locks up every 15 minutes or so. Everything in the windows gui suffers from terrible preformance until i get to disconnect the share from the samba server, then everything
