I have been having a heck of a time getting cross subnet browsing to work properly. After MANY hours hunting through source and debug logs, I have FINALLY found the source of my browsing issues. My Samba nmdb properly becomes the LMB for my segment on a WAN. I VPN to my servers at the home office and Samba attempts to sync with the DMB. nmbd properly locates the DMB via WINS over the

Just so that it gets into the archives for future googlers: If you get 'system error 64' on a windows xp machine trying to connect to samba, then make sure you have nothing running on port 445. I had an apache ssl instance running on that port. Doh! Had to scratch my head a bit over it. XP doesn't actually need anything to be on 445, it just gets confused and gives up if there is.

Hi, I am quite confused by the following observation. I tried to use smbclient on a linux to access a Windows 98 se. --- Smbclient //IP address/sharefolder -U username%passwd.

Hi, On samba 3 winserver enabled On xp I can work with smb on 2 ways 1 ) smb over tcpip without netbios. I was suprised because I can logged onto the domain. Xp client found the primary domain controler. I am not able to add permissions ( only the local machine domain is visible ).

>From Microsoft web site (Windows 2000 Resource Kit): "Windows 2000 uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP to communicate with prior versions of Windows NT and other clients, such as Windows 95. However, the Windows 2000 redirector and server components now support direct hosting for communicating with other computers running Windows 2000. With direct hosting, NetBIOS is not used for name resolution.
