similar to: Browsing across subnets - network star configuration

Hi all, I am still battling to get browsing across subnets to work. I just need some clarification on some issues. I understand the following things to be the case, please correct me if I am wrong: - Machines on a subnet will periodically announce their existance by broadcasting to everyone their identity - Other machines will hear these broadcasts, and add the machines to their browse lists. -

Hi all, I have two samba machines running v1.9.18p4. When I try and list the shares on the second machine (calvin) fromn the first machine (hobbes) I get this: Session request failed (131,129) with myname=HOBBES destname=CALVIN Not listening for calling name Try to connect as another name (instead of HOBBES) You may find the -n option useful for this Any idea what this is trying to tell me?

Hi all, I am using a samba WINS server for my Microsoft network that is split across 5 physical networks. For a long time, everything has worked fine, however recently we have had wierd problems with domain controllers "disappearing". Even with a primary or backup DC on the physical wire, workstations and other NT servers suddenly start complaining "a domain controller for DOMAIN

I thought I would return this email, it shows that the email is at the status of 'distrust'.. please respond or correct situation I use this all the time and don't want to run into any problems because of a breach of security. Thanks Dale -----Original Message----- From: samba@samba.anu.edu.au

I have Samba 1.9.17p2 and it works great on NT4.0 SP2 When I update to NT4.0SP3, my Samba connection gives me the following message: The account is not authorized to login from this station. Did something change? Maybe NT4.0 SP3 uses a smb.conf option that wasn't used before? I've installed the package version from the Solaris 2.5 web site. I'm actually running Solaris 2.5.1

Hi again, I realize this is generally not the place for this question but this is always where the answers are so here goes. We have a couple of win95 Pcs that regularly go nuts and arp foreach IP address on their subnet. The resulting broadcast storm is make even worse because of the inability of our net. admin. to 1) explain it 2) contain it 3) fix it (not too bright). I checked the registry

Hi all - I'll be the first to admit I don't know a lot about Windows networking, but I've managed to get samba (latest version) up and running and even have a cool netlogon script :) My config has shares for [homes] and [netlogon] and [foobar] (a test). When I look around in Network Neighborhood it lists homes, netlogon, foobar, and philip (my username). Is there some way to make

Hi I've seen a couple of people post this problem, but I've never seen an answer, and now it's happenning to me. I run Solaris 2.5.1, and samba-1.9.17p1. Every so often a pc can look in the network neighborhood and the samba server just isn't there, though you can still map a network drive by using a UNC pathway: \\server\share so the share is still out there but the server

Hi, I need to upload data from a barcode scanner into a Progress database on UNIX. The barcode reader is attached to a PC. We have set it up in this way that the barcode reader creates a file in a directory shared by the PC and an HP box. A simple daemon on the HP scans the directory and triggers a program to upload the data whenever it finds a file in that directory. I was wondering if

When I try and load smbd I get this error in the log :- bind failed on port 139 socket_addr=0.0.0.0 (Address already in use) Closing connections 04/02/1998 14:02:01 Server exit (caught signal) I am using Slackware 3 with Linux kernel 2.0.33, and Samba-1.9.18p4. there is no problem with Netbios naming as I can see th Linux machine in Network Neighbourhood and my samba client seems to be

Why does browsing across subnets only work if all of the machines are in the same workgroup? We're really a unix and mac campus, but we're trying to support windows machines by using a samba server to let them print and let the students access a little chunk of disk space. I've got a samba server set up as the workgroup SERVERS, and I've told it to be a domain master, a

You see two daemons because at startup

I'm sorry if people are getting fed up with my question, but I didn't get a response from the first post, and I didn't even see the second post appear in the summary. Hi All, this is probably a common problem and FAQ but I can't the solution. I've got two subnets, 10.1.1.0/255.255.0.0 at Leeds and 10.2.0.0/255.255.0.0 at Doncaster. At Leeds, I've got samba running as

Hi! We have the following scenario: Subnet 1 ======= Contains PDC for domain DOM1 all clients in this subnet belong to DOM1 Subnet 2 ======= contains PDC for domain DOM2 all clients in this subnet belong to DOM2 These two subnets are connected via a multihomed linux box set up as a router between these subnets. IP routing definately works ok. What we want to achive is, to have full NetBIOS

Hi everyone, I'm getting roughed up trying a new setup on my server. I tried this with 1.9.18p10 and now with 2.0.3, first I want to see if I'm getting this correctly and then if there's a solution to what I think is happening. I have the following setup: One server with two NICs IP1=130.6.96.2, IP2=130.6.98.2, SM = 255.255.255.0 (BTW, these are internal IPs, not internet

Hi, I've got a small network at home with a topology as follows: -- Cable Modem -- Router 1 -- Switch 1 -- Server 1 | Router 2/Switch 2 --+-- Server 2 | | | WAP 1 --+ +-- WAP 2 +-- Client 1 | +--

I have just setup a VPN connection three sites using IPCOP. Everything seems to be talking ok, apart from browsing the network neighborhood. There are no NT/Win2K/XP servers running on any of the sites, all sites are just running win98 pc's using tcp/ip. I have tried configuring all PC's to be on the same workgroup and setup sharing, but still each site can only see the pc's

I would like to know how to view a samba server on a different subnet than the client workstation resides. For example, I have a Samba 1.9.18p3 server in subnet 'a' and a NT 4.0 client in subnet 'b'. The Samba server does not show up when the NT client double-clicks on the Network Neighborhood. However, if the client does a Find:computer it will find the server, and shares can be

Hello, I am having a little problem with executing logon scripts on Win95 clients, logging into Samba Netlogon service. When a user logges in, a MS-DOS prompt shows up and quicky disappears. Then I get "Please Wait While your logon script executes". It hangs at that point. A user has to hit cancel to start his win95 session. I have done the logon script in MS-DOS editor. I have the
