similar to: computer not showing up in Network Neighborhood

I having difficulty getting browsing to fully work across two subnets. The subnets (having private addresses - 192.168.x.0) are connected by Linux boxes (RH6.1, one for each subnet) functioning as firewall, IP masquerade and router. On one subnet (call this one LEFT), there is an NT4.0 server as the PDC (also running WINS and DHCP) along with 50 or so clients and other servers (NT, Win9x) in

>From time to time someone will comment in this list that their Samba server has disappeared from the list of hosts in Network Neighborhood. Browsing the list archive has yet to turn up any good explanation of this phenomenon. I think I have a clue. This morning my server disappeared again. When I checked the process list on the server I noticed that nmbd had been swapped out to disk. The

Hello! I am puzzled here - I have two Samba systems ; one on each different network that I am working with. One of them allows local Windoze 95 machines to view the server via network Neighborhood; the other does not. In both networks, I am able to mount shares. I have checked options; as many as I could think of, but no luck. I am stumped. Both of them are configured as NT domain

I have a long running problem with my configuration of Samba as a domain master browser. After nmbd comes up, all the machines on the network are viewable in the Network Neighborhood as they should be. But about half an hour later, Samba seems to lose track of several machines; they no longer appear in NN or /var/cache/samba/browse.dat. I recently upgraded to a packaged version 3.0.20b (for

Just an idea... We all know that NN under Windows is at best non predictable and totally impossible to use since many times machines are not showing themselves and so on.... We all know also that Samba is never the problem with that, it's just the M$ protocol. So my idea: if some clever Window$ programmer makes an app that is just doing the same: You launch the app you have the list of

I am trying to setup a simple Samba server using the instructions in the O'Reilly book "Using Samba" first edition on a Slackware 9.1 system which uses Samba 2.2.8a. The windows machine uses windows 98SE. The instructions under Server Configuration starting page 93 and Disk Share Configuration starting page 96 had me setup a very simple smb.conf which should then appear in Network

After going through the /usr/doc/samba-1.9.17p4/DIAGNOSIS.txt file (GREAT debug/diagnostic tool!!!!!!!) I'm closer than ever!!!!!!!! I now SEE THE Linux machine name in my Network Neighborhood!!!!!!!!! I can ping both machines without any problem from both machines (W98 and Red Hat 5.1). I have edited the registry to allow plain text passwords. When I try net view from my W98 machine I see

We're running Samba 2.2.2 over an NT network. Our clients use Win95 (for the time being) and I wondered how we config Samba so they can map the shares using network neighborhood. We can map fine through MS-DOS, but when I try, for example, to map E drive to \\nfssrv\ads share via network neighborhood (where we ARE able to see the shares), it says E: is already connected to . Do you want

Hi all, I'm using Samba 1.9.18p8 under Solaris 2.5.1. Within my smb.conf file I am using the 'netbios aliases' option to make my server appear as 4 different servers with an smb.conf.%L to load the specifics of each: netbios aliases = hardware software diagnostics homedirs include = /usr/local/samba/var/smb.conf.%L The problem I'm encountering is that the only comment I see

I am using Samba-PDC-LDAP with samba-3.0.20b-1. On my file servers I am using samba-3.0.10-1.4. I'm not sure exactly what is happening but every couple of weeks the file servers disappear form network neighborhood. I checked browstat on my Windows system and it points to my PDC as the master browser and I checked the wins.dat file on my PDC and the systems were there. I did not check

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

Hi all, I've recently set up a samba server, but just discovered that people on the "other" side can't reach it. The system shows up in Network Neighborhood, but you can't double click on it. It returns a message saying that the server is either inaccessible, or that I misspelled the name (How I did that with just one mouse click is beyond me ;) I had 'allow

Hello, sorry for this posting, I know you must have answered this hundreds of times, but I cannot get my samba servers to appear on the network neighborhood on the W95 client machines. Can anyone tell what?s missing from my smb.conf files? The problem should be the same on all of the samba servers, how do I have to configure samba to show up in the network neighborhood? Thanx in advance. --

Hi All, I have a Sun Solaris 2.6 machine running samba in our LAN. Then we have several PC's running Windows95. If on any of our PC's I click on "Network Neighborhood" I can see any other PC but I can't see the Sun machine. On the other side, if (on the W95 PC) I click on Start --> Find Computer, the PC is able to find the Sun machine and then I can connect to any of the

Hello all I was wondering what would be the best way to do a moving-window analysis of a matrix? By moving-window I mean that kind of analysis common in GIS, where each pixel (matrix element) of the resulting map is a function of it neighbors, and the neighborhood is a square matrix. I was hoping there was some function in R that could do that, where I could define the size of the neighborhood,

Hello u all, sorry to bring this issue back again, but I?ve been searching and trying all the advices suggested in previous posts and I still can?t see the samba server in the win network neighborhood. I can see the samba shares from win via net view \\servername but if I issue a plain "net view" samba won?t show up. only the win machines, the same i can see on the Neighborhood...

At the moment if Samba4 acts as DC (domain controller) it doesn' t support neighborhood browsing, that is computers in a local group are not visible in network neighborhood. I have not been remaining think about working of the functionality. And have found this one: http://forge.univention.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30132 I am not a programmer but may be it will be useful for easier and

Help! I have a simple home network. I have samba [2.2.7a] running with the smb.conf file listed below. I can see this machine in network neighborhood on a Win98 machine and a WinNT 4.0 machine, but I cannot see this share from a Win2K machine. If I issue a net use command from the cmd window on the Win2K machine I can mount the share and then open it as normal. WHY can't I see

Hi All, I turned my Debian box into a file server on my home network. What happened is now no boxen except the localhost shows up in Network Neighborhood on the Windows boxen. All shares work fine and if I search for the Linux server, I find it. Has anyone ever run into this and resolved it? Three days of Googling have left me with the same problem and a headache. Thanks.
