Hi, I have troubles understanding wins and network browsing functionnality. I have a samba server(pdc) on a different subnet than my clients. The server smb.conf has wins support = Yes, the client are configured to use the wins server. In the wins.dat, i can see all the computers. In the browse.dat i have only computers/servers that are in the same subnet. When i try to browse the network

I've recently setup an iSCSI portal on my network and have taken some servers offline. However, due to the requirements of certain software programs I need to use UNC paths. I was able to fix this issue by adding CNAME into my DNS. I'm still finding that certain programs still require to view the browse list to find the appropriate server. Since CNAME doesn't link to the

Dear sirs, i`m need to chanche location of browse.dat file. By default it store in /var/cache/samba Change parameter "lock directory" in smb.conf is not help. Samba version is 3.0.24 (from debain pkg) I`m try to start 2 domains from one server. I`ve got my 2 config files (with separate pids, net interfaces, log files) and both servers run, bound to the correct interfaces. Both domain

Greetings, I'm trying to track down and eliminate the sources of excessive disk activity in an idle system that is resulting in premature hard disk failure. Access time updates to inodes turned out to be the worst culprit, triggering writes every 35 seconds or so. Mounting filesystems with the noatime option fixed that problem. But not too far behind inode updates is the frequent

I have a multi domain setup using samba. I run 3 domains across a VPN connection. One is always setup as the master WINS server. The master Server is still on 2.2.8a. All of the other domains are at V3.010. I stopped all of the servers this morning and deleted the Browse.dat file. (I had a mistake in one of my domains that was conflicting with the he master wins server) After I

This is the contents of my browse.dat file "PROXML" c0001000 "PROSERVER" "PROXML" "PROSERVER" 400d9a03 "Samba Server 2.2.8a" "PROXML" "PROXML" 40009a03 "Samba Server 2.2.8a" "PROXML" "SERVER" 40009a03 "Samba Server 2.2.8a" "PROXML" "XAN3PORV254" 40019a03

I realize this is most likely the most killed topic anyone on the net. Most of the information i've found don't directly answer this question. I have a Samba server set up as the DMB and LMB via smb.conf. I have set up nmbd to do WINS. I setup all my XP box clients to use my Samba server. I ran Ethereal on the server and can see the Samba server wins election for DMA and LMB. I can

I'm not sure where else to turn for this, I've seen this problem mentioned in a multiple places but haven't seen any resolution for it. Below is what's showing up in my remote samba WINS server. My setup is that I've got the samba servers connecting through a dedicated VPN. I've set up the WINS to allow for browsing across the VPN. If anyone can help me out or point me in

Appologies for double posting this. I managed to add it to the end of an old thread instead of starting a new one, anyone recommend a mail client that shows threads? :) Hi, I'm trying to run 2 domains from the one server. I've got my 2 config files and both servers run, bound to the correct interface if started normally. The problem I have occurs when I try to start both at once.

Hi all, I'm having a small problem with browsing. I've got a network full of Windows (2000 and XP) machines and I've installed a Samba server in it. The server is configured to be Domain Master Browser (DMB), Local Master Browser (LMB) and WINS server for a workgroup. The Win machines are configured to use the WINS server. Name resolution works perfectly, but browsing

Hi, I'm running 1.9.18p7 in two places (two separate networks): one on Solaris 2.5 and one on Linux 2.0.33 (RedHat 4.1). The latter works fine, browsing included, 'smbclient -L server' lists the machines and workgroups/domains. However, this is on a small (two subnet) network. However, the Solaris installation does not appear to be working properly (for browsing... everything

Hi, I posted a couple of times about a problem I was having with browsing, where smbclient (and other clients) showed nothing in the browse list, but wins.dat and browse.dat showed a list and the log showed the server becoming the domain and local master browser. Well, the problem turned out to be permissions on the .../samba/var and .../samba/var/locks directories; not allowing the

I've exactly the same problem. My config looks similar to yours: 1 samba as wins server (wins support=yes" on one segment, 1 samba as "wins server client" (wins server = xxx). The "wins server client" never discards machines from segment 1. I looked at the browse.dat and the wins.dat on the server on segment 1. There are no entries of the shutdowned maschines. Only in

My network looks like this: internet 192.168.0.0/24 router ----+----+----+----- internal 192.168.5.0/24 | | | router ----+-----+------+- LNB--->mswin | | (also a | | | client | | samba | | .... | | server) | | samba | | samba

My wins.dat seems to be rather out of date. I'm running Samba 2.2.2 as a wins server with dhcp. When the client address changes, Samba doesn't seem to update wins. The clients are Win2k & WinXP. In the manual page, it suggests that I shouldn't change the max/min ttl parameters. Can I hook dhcp to samba somehow? Rebooting the out of date clients triggered Samba to update

On my PDC, which is also the DMB, there is a duplicate entry for a trusted domain that is run on an AD controller on the same ethernet segment. The duplicate, though, has several spaces after the name (from browse.dat): "BROADWAY" 80001000 "CALIMERO" "BROADWAY" "BROADWAY " 80001000 "CALIMERO"

hi is it possible that it looses the master browser status, and it still thinks that it is the master browser?

Hi all: I'm not sure where to begin. My setup here is Samba Version 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix acting as wins for a bridged OpenVPN network (if you know what that means). The net consists of 1 subnet (10.0.0.0/24). The OpenVPN Linux box also runs Samba, ip 10.0.0.110. There are 2 other windows/linux boxes "behind" the VPN server. There are "guests" (Road Warriors)

I've got a moderate network with several subnets, a number of domains and workgroups. I have a central WINS server, each domain has its own PDC. My problem is transient users. We have occasional users who plug a laptop into the network. Once they leave, they hang around in Network Neighborhood forever. Then I have users who curiously click on their icon in NN and their machine just
