Hi I am a newbie to samba after taking over from a previous administrator. I have upgraded to the version that ships with SuSE linux 8.0 and copied over the old smb.config and smbpasswd files. I can see the shares from a remote SWAT connection and also using the interactive method via a DOS window, but cannot get the shares to be seen via Network Neighbourhood. I am thinking that this may be

I have a Samba Server 3.0.23a running on a Fedora 4. Since Vista entered my lan I've been having problems with master browser elections. When a Vista client connects to 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

We have a network here with Samba running as a WINS server and is the domain master browser. The network also consists of a couple of Novell 3.11 servers. Our Windows 95 stations have IPX and TCP/IP configured, NETBIOS is NOT enabled for IPX. The Windows 95 stations have the WINS server IP address typed in manually as is the IP address for the machine. The DNS is properly configured to resolve

Hi all, we are running 2 Novell PNW servers (1 printserver and 1 fileserver) and 6 Win 3.11 Clients since about 4 years with very little problems. But now our production software cries for a 32bit OS. (Guess which one) I tried to setup up something similiar with WIN98 and Samba 2.0.3. It works!

Hi, I am a system administrator but new to Samba. We bought new PCs with NT service pack 4 and I am trying to configure Samba(2.0.x) so that users can access their UNIX(Solaris/IRIX) files from NT. I have two kinds of problems. Things seems to be perfect when I try this with Win98 but with NT, I can't see the UNIX server from Network Neighbourhood. But "net view" shows all the

Hi.. I am finally making some progress with Samba. Its been a while but finally I see the light. I have a question. First of all, here is where I am at. I can use smbclient and access all the shares on my Windows machine. And I can map all the drives that are shared on my linux machine. In other words everything is working between my two machines. Now, here is the problem. In 'network

Hi, I setup samba according to the Howto and I'm not sure but I can't find my samba box in netowrk neighbourhood. If I run \\(samba IP address) I get it fine. It just doesn't show up in the nethood.

Hi , I've some torubles with smb server provided with Debian 3.0 Woody - I can't see any machine in network neighbourhood, altought all machines are loging and mapping resources shared by server correctly.

Hello I attached my smb.conf as a reference but the problem is quite simple: 1) my server didn't show in the network neighbourhood 2) often the whole domain didn't show at all in the n.b. and if I try to access it directly (i.e. typing the domain name) I got a strange error ("cannot find the network path") P.S. Every single machine (server included) is viewable if

Hi all, I can see the RH7.3 linux box I've configured with the latest Redhat RPM samba package in the Windows 2000 network neighbourhood, but when I double click the W2000 computer icon I get the message "\\Linuxbox is not accessible, The network path was not found." The network is a small switched lan, sadly with only one unix box (RH7.3) and a mixture of Windows2000 and 98

Hi list! I've got a debian "etch" box running samba 3.0.24.

Hi everyone, I am new to the list and new to Linux as well as to Samba. I've read quite a few howtos, man-pages and other docs on samba now. I configured my own SMB-server with smbd and nmbd. Of course I generated a smb.conf file and my server is accessible and running on the Linux mashine. I can connect with smbclient to the Linux-mashine and to the win2k-mashine (hostname and service
