We are looking for another solution besides Samba, which will allow our application developers using Windows 95/98/NT to access share on our Sun Box running Solaris 2.6 operating systems. Our supervisor feels the Samba installation process is more complex than what we really need. Any suggestions?

I am still trying to make samba work over a WAN with multiple workgroups although I am just about to throw in the towel. I had hoped to find a solution that would permit a Windows PC to browse a (MS) workgroup (ie retrieve the browse list from the workgroup master browser for a remote (MS) workgroup when that MB is NOT a samba server). Since WINS only provides the broadcast address of the remote

We have a Sun box physically located at another site running Solaris 2.6 We perform administration remotely using telnet, CRT and others from Windows 95/98 workstations. We are want to use Samba to allow mapping to certain directories on the Sun Server. The documentation I have seem to only reference installation of Samba on the Sun Server. Our workstations do not have the Solaris Operating

Hi, I have a samba 2.2.1a (cvs-06.08.2001) running as PDC for my domain, and it is doing fine. But in the broadcast domain there are severeal other workgroups (no domains) with their own Domain Master Browsers. Additionaly there are always a lot of unconfigured computers not under my control, which build their own workgroups (e.g. mdkhome, workgroup...). My problem is now, how do I prevent all

The samba configuration on the local LAN works great but, I am trying to set up samba to permit browsing of two workgroups on different subnets and getting very close but not quite the results I want. Remote shares can be mapped to a local drive using "net use * \\remotehost\remoteshare" but in windows explorer the remote workgroup is not browsable : there is a "computer could not

Is it possible to browse multiple workgroups on two or more subnets? I have set up samba on either end of a VPN and can browse successfully from either end, but only in the workgroup that samba is configured for. Can Samba be a member of more than one workgroup at the same time? Looking in browse.dat I can see all the machines in samba's workgroup and also the other workgroups, but not the

(Samba version 1.9.18p4) I want to set up my environment thusly: - 2 workgroups, each composed of multiple subnets. - Each workgroup has a DMB and a WINS server (Samba only - no NT) - The two workgroups should collate browse lists so that clients on either workgroup can browse and connect to hosts on the opposite workgroup. I've read the documentation in BROWSING.txt and it does not appear

Hello, Is it possible to set up multiple Windows workgroups on a single Samba server? We have the same user, defined in 2 different workgroups (Windows Domains), and would like both of these users to connect to the same Samba share. However, we're not certain if this is possible, or what the syntax should be in the config. file. Any ideas here? Thanks, David Hansen Visit our website

Hi, I'm trying to set up browsing across subnets to provide an 'enterprise'-wide (sorry for the MS term ;-) browse list / Network Neighbourhood. I've read BROWSING.TXT, but I can't see how machines on different subnets in different domains/workgroups sync up (using Samba, anyway). On my local subnet, I've set up a clunky old Linux 386 (Samba 1.9.18p8) as the browse

Hi, I am configuring a network with two subnets with a different workgroup in each subnet. My aim is to have users being able to view and access shares on both workgroups. I have a Samba server in each subnet/workgroup, configured as both the domain and local master for each workgroup. Each server is also the WINS server for its subnet. The setup is like this: Subnet1: network -

Hi, I've been following some of the posts (never received a reply to mine but found one similiar). I have a question that I hope you can clarify. Original question: I can see the server from my Windows XP machine using network neighbors, but when I double click on it I get: Path not found One reply: If you're using NT domains (not simple "workgroups")... What is the

Hello everybody, I think that this should a be a trivial task but I've already read the documentation but couldn't find out how to get a list of all workgroups and their hosts with "smbclient". Could somebody give me a hint please(and sorry for that silly question)? Greetings, -Rainer Hahnekamp

Hi, I have the following situation: 192.168.64.0/24 is my local network. .1 is my PDC (samba 2.2.6) workgroup is vanheusden 192.168.97.0/24 is an intranet somewhere else to which I'm connected through a vpn. workgroup is enderman ip-forwarding is enabled on 192.168.64.1 (my default gateway and endpoint for the vpn) on 192.168.64.1 I've set hosts allow to 192.168. and 127. hosts allow =

I want to discover all the groups currently in use on a subnet. Is there a way to do this with a broadcast request? I know that I could just run nmblookup on every single host on the subnet, but that would take forever. I'd like to just make one or maybe a few calls. I'd like to limit the number of calls I make to no more than one plus the number of workgroups that are in use. Any

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

You can see by the subject I've got an ugly problem. Even though I don't have a Samba server anywhere near the network in question, nobody understands browsing as well as the folks on the Samba team. :-) Here's the situation: I've got two workgroups, FLINTSTONE and RUBBLE which are on physically separate networks. FLINTSTONE has a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain

Dear people at the samba organization, I wish to create multiple workgroups using SAMBA in a single domain on a LINUX Box. The linux box is also the primary domain controller. Please enlist me the procedure and mail to me as soon as possible. Thanking you in advance Sincerely Roopinder Randhawa.

I have problems to get browse lists from other workgroups across subnets. On win95 network neighbourhood I have a complete list form all computers in the same workgroup (including computers located on an other subnet) and a workgroup list. But if I try to look at the computers on an other workgroup I get an error message: workgroup not available. The subnet has an samba server (2.0.3) configured

hello, My company network config: ## Workgroup a, b, c (windows based), and d (novell) ## Now I added a workgroup e (linux samba), and want to make all the machines under different workgroups share the files or printers when necessary. So I setup a RH7.1 with NAT implemented by iptables so that the machnies under this server can use 192.168.0.x (win9x machines) to access the network. Yet the
