Well I figured it out.. did not know that I could make a host file on the winblows client.

I've got a W98/Samba LAN running with a 3Com OfficeConnect LANModem for shared internet access. Periodically, like every 10 minutes, it dials out, due to a DNS request for the workgroup/domain (same) name. Any fix for this? Can I just put a dummy address in all the host files?

Linux 2.2.13 Intel samba-2.0.7pre2 will Sig11 and die on me right after processing NetBIOS name = FOO in smb.conf. Not always, but sometimes I have to start smbd 2 or 3 times. It always fails there. Any reason why 2.0.7pre2 would do this, and 2.0.6 (from rpm) never did? -- Edward Schernau http://www.schernau.com Network Architect mailto:ed@schernau.com Rational Computing Providence, RI,

I found these articles that talk about the oplock_break problem (specifically they are related to problems with word97): http://support.microsoft.com/support/ntserver/serviceware/nts40/e9msge2bc.asp http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q163/5/25.asp Basically they say: either apply sp3 on the winnt client or disable oplock on nt server But they don't say anything about win9x,

any prediction on its release? -- Edward Schernau http://www.schernau.com Network Architect mailto:ed@schernau.com Rational Computing Providence, RI, USA

Recently Microsoft introduced some network improvements which made it impossible to connect to Samba without using encrypted passwords. There is a way-around for NT4.0 (SP3) by changing a registry entry. This has been published by Microsoft in their knowledge-base. With WIN95 OSR2.1 and the vredir patch (vredir.vxd and vnetsup.vxd dated June, 2nd 1997 or later) the behaviour is very similar to

I've had several instances now on my mixed NT 3.51/4.0/Samba network where clients on Win boxes would enter a username such as "THisbites", and be denyed access. The account in /etc/password was capitalized as "THisbites" and the NT domain account shows in User Manager as "THisbites". Nonetheless, Samba refuses them access, and claims (on a debug level3 ) that

Can anyone give a brief, english synopsis of how this works? I must be missing something obvious, or maybe there IS a need to have 2 similarly labelled config options. Or maybe I'm lost in the goldbergian method that this applies permissions (take the real perms, bitwise OR them with the mask, then apply all the permissions NOT given, etc. etc.) Help a dummy? -- Edward Schernau

I'll ask this again, as nobody has answered or addressed this issue yet. 2.0.7pre2 (although it has never worked) Intel Linux 2.2.13 Samba server serves as WINS server for 3 domains. It joined 1 of the domains using smbclient. security=domain I can see entries for the 3 domains in WINS.DAT, and entries for the 3 PDCs in WINS.DAT. On the same subnet as the samba server, there is an NT3.51

I've got a samba server, acting as 95 PDC, and WINS, on 1 subnet. It is routed to another subnet. All PCs use the same workgroup name. How can I get the PCs to all appear in Network Neighborhood? They all register with the samba/WINS server. "Find Computer" works, but only PCs in the local subnet are visible when you open NN. Any hints? I've tried "remote announce =

I have a Samba server 2.0.7pre2 on linux 2.2.13, which has joined a domain using smbclient. Security=domain, and all works well. It is configured to be the WINS server. PCs and NT boxes in this domain, plus the DCs and PCs in 2 other domains are set up to use this box as their WINS server. (this is Domain1) The PDC in Domain1 is the master browser (local and domain). Here is the problem: 2

Ok, anyone know if we're subject to the same bug as MS fixed in 95B vredir.vxd? A test, with log level 3, sound like it's in order. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

Hello, I have a problem width some excel files in my Samba File server because when I try to open from a WinMe client, the client machine always craches width a error in the vredir.vxd and ifsmgr.vxd. I think is a problem in oplocks or something like that. In the mdb files, the MS Access tolds me that can't open the file exlusively! Can anybody help me? What configuration should I have in

I've recently set up a new server running RH 6.1 and Samba 2.0.5a. All our older servers are running 1.9.18p10, and were left that way on the "If it ain't broke" principle. On the new server, I've noticed that DOS wildcards don't work correctly for some (but not all) old 16-bit DOS programs running under Win95/98. The symptom is that the program only

The updated Vredir.vxd file corrects a problem deleting files on Samba servers running on UNIX- based computers. This problem can cause local files to be deleted.

Hello, I am using Samba since three years on different Servers and OS - 6 Solaris Sparc and 3 Solaris x86 and on one AIX. Last week i did one small server installtion for 10 W98 Clients with SuSE Linux 6.1 (kernel 2.2.3) and i had for the first time problems with broken oplocks. Some programs just hanged and in the logfiles i found "broken oplock" message. Does Linux support kernel

Hi Just thought I'd "help" everyone by stoking the argument about oplocks having a timing problem with a vague set of observations :-) I have a strange problem using samba 2.0.5a on SCO 5.0.4: With the binary compiled versions kindly provided by Stephen Davies on ftp.sdc.com.au I have no problems reading or writing files to the SCO server at all. However, when I compile my own
