Hi all, I am running RedHat 7.3 and Samba 2.2.3a. I am using DHCP for my Linux box (hostname: NGPLinux, IP 132.189.26.62). I can see the list of shares I defined by using "smbclient -L NGPLinux -N". I can resolve the name using "nmblookup -U 127.0.0.1 NGPLinux". However, when I tried to use "nmblookup -B 132.189.26.255 NGPLinux" on the local machine, I got the

All, 1. Here is my network configuration: One NT4 PDC One NT4 BDC Two Sun boxes, both configured as Domain Member servers running Samba version 3.0.10 providing file and print sharing. Three Windows 2000 boxes configured as Citrix servers Two Sun boxes configured as Sun Ray servers (used in conjunction with the Citrix servers) One UNIX box used as a DNS Master Server One UNIX box used

Hi, I can't get "net view \\<servername>" to work from my Windows test client. It fails with "The network path was not found". I followed some of the online debugging guides and have found that a couple of the test nmblookups on the server are failing. The server is named 'fileserver1' and its IP address is 155.2.196.251 for the purpose of this email.

Hello list, The issue is as the topic says, following are details: the Samba server running as ADS member, NBT enabled on Windows machines, no WINS. Windows machines can find each other by 'nbtstat -a' but cannot find the Samba server. The Samba server can't find neither Windows machines nor itself by 'nmblookup -a <netbios-name>', error message is "could not open

Hi, Does anyone know how to lookup a domain's DNS name with its NetBIOS name ? And how to do the reverse? Thanks a lot. Yuquan

I've been using Samba for years, though I'm still no expert, and this one has me stumped: I have just upgraded from Mandrake9.1->9.2 which changes from Samba 2.2.7a to 2.2.8a. I am using the same smb.conf file (see below). I can still mount shares okay (though I do have a printing issue I haven't looked at yet) but only by ip address. e.g \\10.0.0.3\nick works but \\ratbert\nick

Hi- Ok, this is puzzling me. I have two machines on different networks running Samba 1.9.18p10. On one machine, which is running Redhat 5.1, I can do "nmblookup -A <IP ADDRESS>" and get the IP address of a host on the LAN. This network also has an NT server domain controller, but I doubt that matters in this case, since I'm querying the machine directly. The second machine

Hello, I am hoping someone can help me....

Hi there. This is with regards to samba-3.0.23c, on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p12 Previously I had Samba up and running without any problems. Then I decided to do a tiny upgrade by simply switching to a new motherboard, while keeping all other hardware and software aspects the same. However, after the upgrade, netbios name resolution seems to have stopped working somehow. \\servername lookups no

I'm trying to see what computer is accessing certain files through samba, and the SWAT status page is a useful tool for that. Problem is that for some computers, only the IP address shows, not the NetBIOS name. This is only a problem with certain computers. Since we're using DHCP on many computers I don't always know off the top of my head what computer has any given IP

Dear all, I loose hope to be able to obtain the NETBIOS name of a Win95 box using the following command : nmblookup -A ipaddress Some of my user are using laptops and are connecting the network by a remote lan access. The IP address is attributed by the RLA supplier. I included in the login process (telnet) of our Administrative AIX server a NETBIOS name check of the calling machine. If the

Ahh, many sleepless nights spent on a stinky Windows 98 box! I'm using Samba 2.2.0 with Red Hat Linux 7.1, and am having trouble resolving the samba server. I went through the "fault tree" in the "Using Samba" book, and this was the section I got stuck on. Do I need to be running a name server besides nmbd? nmblookup returns some results: ----------8<----------

Does know anybody a small, little, beatiful (and cheap) software replacement of PING utility for pingins machines with netbios name and with ip number and without DNS entry? Smbclient and nmblookup work fine, but I thinking in a utilitity like PING of windows95. This ping is capable to work in WINS (NETBIOS) and ip and name translation. The ping of linux dont work in this way. Samba work fine.

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 install quite a few (debian linux) internet gateway boxes with samba installed so that the client can get their /var/www directory in network neighbourhood. in order to diagnose network faults (i.e "WTF can't the stupid doze boxes see/login to/etc the samba share?"), i often need to find out the netbios name of a machine. for some reason this seems to an extraordinarily difficult

I have the following situation: Windows XP (SP2) clients connected to a Samba 3 PDC (3.0.7-2.FC2) on the domain "MNET". Also a separate Windows 2003 AD domain "SCH" (using Native Mode). I want to allow users in the AD domain "SCH" to logon to that domain from the XP clients by using their existing credentials and simply choosing the SCH domain in the XP logon
