similar to: Samba NOT using WINS? (was: network is busy / login failures)

Hi, here is a client computer and a server computer (Debian Wheezy, armel, samba Version 3.6.6, IP address: 192.168.1.2, Name: xyz). Problem: wins doesn't answer nmblookups by the client on the broadcast address: client$ nmblookup -S xyz querying xyz on 192.168.1.255 name_query failed to find name xyz Why is that so? How to fix this? When I specify the the server IP I do get an answer:

Linux 2.2.14, samba 2.0.7 Summary: samba kept __MSBROWSE__ registered but thought it was not the master browser. Details: 1) samba started and became master browser (6/13/2000 0.00) 2) then there was a problem on the network (I played with ipchains...) 3) samba received an announce from a win9x pc claiming it was MB (6/13/2000 circa 8.00AM) Due to the problems of point2, the election that

Hi there. This is with regards to samba-3.0.23c, on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p12 Previously I had Samba up and running without any problems. Then I decided to do a tiny upgrade by simply switching to a new motherboard, while keeping all other hardware and software aspects the same. However, after the upgrade, netbios name resolution seems to have stopped working somehow. \\servername lookups no

I'm trying to get cross-network browsing/domain logins working. In brief, I am very frustrated. We thought the initial problem was a browsing problem, but now it does not appear to be that. Even once the workstation can see the servers, it STILL cannot perform a Domain login, although it CAN access resources if I use the Ms Dos prompt and issue a 'net use ...' command. This

My client Windows XP boxes are failing to register with my WINS server (running nmbd from Samba). I'm puzzled how to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Background: I'm setting up BackupPC to back up my Windows clients using rsync. I've installed cwRsync to the clients. BackupPC uses nmblookup to find the client's IP address given its Windows NETBIOS name. I'm

Dear all, i want to send windows popup message from a redhat 9.0 box in the same subnet. the receivers are on group of 'ECON'. does this redhat machine have to be the samba server to send win msg ? error i got is "Connection to econ02 failed" econ02 is a XP pro machine and a popup service is running. #nmblookup econ02 can resolve the correct ip. querying econ02 on

Hi, I'm trying to get a Samba (version 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3) to play with some WinXP boxes. I'm using WORKGROUPS, not DOMAIN. The server is running under Fedora Core 3. And I'm following the troubleshooting chapter in the O'Reilly book, Chapter 9. I cannot browse the shares from my WinXP machine. I CAN browse and access shares okay as a client on the Samba server machine. I

Hi again all. I still haven't resolved this issue of browsing the LAN. Here are a few details: * The windows stations can see each other when the Samba server is off-line * The windows station can't see each or anything else on the network when Samba is brought on-line * Wins support is enabled * each windows station has proper Wins entries with Wins enabled * the server and stations

Hello together! I have an problem with the wins server, based on a Gentoo distribution with Samba 3.0.24. The problem is following: After an restart of samba everything works fine, but after an undefined time period its not possible to make an nmblookup for some other computers. The samba server is also configured as wins server. an cut from the smb.conf: ...... domain master = Yes

Hi, I have read all I can find about browsing (BROWSING.txt, BROWSING-Config.txt, SWAT pages, etc. There are many discussions on the precise dynamics involved in Local Master Browsers synchronising with a Domain Master Browser (in a cross-subnet environment). I am trying to understand the mechanism that is used when there are Multiple Domains on the same network, and how the Browse List is

Hi, I searched the documentation and the web but cannot find a way to query a wins server for all registered machines in an workgroup or domain. If I want to ask the wins with nmblookup, I have to specify a single name to lookup, wildcards are not allowed. If using the broadcast facility I can search with wildcards: nmblookup '*' -B 192.168.0.255 querying * on 192.168.0.255 192.168.0.7

Hello list, I don't know what is breaking my samba box but I am really very worried and confused !! My samba server has no problem with linux client. "smbclient -L <samba IP> -U <samba user>" runs well. No problem at all. But whenever I try to access the shares from Win-XP it reports that "path not found". And after repeatedly trying the same Win-XP

I am currently trying to use WINS exclusively to resolve host names for our desktops. Somebody 'architected' a desktop host naming convention that works for NetBIOS names but is not supported by our DNS configurations. There are too many desktops to put in a hosts file and the only data structure that has both the IP and host names is WINS. However, it appears that WINS still

Believe me, I have tried everytbing I can think of to solve this problem. I will work my tail off to resolve this but I am fresh out of ideas. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Here are the details... problem: server can see machines/shares on clients but clients cannot see machines/shares on server workgroup/domain: golgerth no router server: rpms: kernel 2.4.18.19.8.0

I have compiled the latest source acquired from the SAMBA Web page to run on AIX 4.2. For some reason my WINS client just isn't working. I verify that the NetBIOS names and IP addresses are in the NT WINS server's tables. I verify that the WINS server's IP address is appropriately configured in smb.conf. I run testparms and all is OK. I executed two commands with no change in
