similar to: NetBios name lookup is failing me

Hello, I'm having problems getting my samba setup to work at a little LAN i partially maintain. I've been reading quite a lot about what I could think of being related to my problems/setup, and I've also googled my ass off :( So here I am, resorting to you guys in hope of help =] Sorry to say, but I don't have much experience, and therefore I'm a bit lost at the moment.

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 am attempting to utilize BackupPC on a Fedora 14 server to backup a remote client. As I understand, it's primary mechanism for finding clients is performing a nmblookup <clientname> This works fine for computers connected to the local network. My issue is extending ?Samba's? search to encompass our other network - the point-to-point VPNs Using OpenVPN, we have a number of road

Folks, I am stumped! I have followed every tech tip I could find and I am still unable to complete my SMB installation. Specifically, I fail Test 4 and Tests 9 and 10.

I used to be able to browse the windows shares on the network through Nautilus. I can see them as computers, but when I click on them, it fails. (I'm on Ubuntu 6 LTS, AMD64) About 3 months ago, this failed. But, the windows boxes can all still access my shares on my Linux box. I was going through the trouble shooting, and found this out, but I'm not sure what to do next. I am

Hi there, Im using for long time winbind + squid for my proxy server and it has been working very good... No problems at all. Some months ago, I decided to get rid of Netbios protocol and start to use only dns for name resolution on my domain. That's when my problem begin. All my windows servers and workstations are doing fine without netbios but I cant get winbind to work without

Then I don't know what caused it. I had no problems prior to the upgrade, and the upgrade was done without errors.. Unfortunately, no, I don't have backups. 'sam.ldb' is still there, though, and so are the databases unter 'sam.ldb.d'. Yes, I tried restarting Samba, even rebooted the server but to no avail. Here are the results from running samba in the shell: lpcfg_load:

Hi, I've been using samba for a while now with relatively simple configurations. I do however have a few questions: * When using encrypted passwords with samba, is it possible to authenticate users using the Unix user password(/etc/passwd)? * When using smbclient I get the error NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE: added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password:

Hello. I'm using Samba 3.0.25a on FreeBSD-6.0. Samba is configured to be a PDC. Samba can't find its hostname via nmblookup: $ nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255 frontier querying frontier on 192.168.1.255 name_query failed to find name frontier If I query Samba via unicast, it answers OK: $ nmblookup -U frontier frontier querying frontier on 192.168.1.31 192.168.1.31 frontier<00> Also,

Ahh, many sleepless nights spent on a stinky Windows 98 box! I'm using Samba 2.2.0 with Red Hat Linux 7.1, and am having trouble resolving the samba server. I went through the "fault tree" in the "Using Samba" book, and this was the section I got stuck on. Do I need to be running a name server besides nmbd? nmblookup returns some results: ----------8<----------

Hi all Bear with me on this one... We have a problem connecting to a specific port via Oracle TNSPING There are two PC's in our office that are on the same network as the server (i.e. my desktop PC can not get to the server) The server has multiple network interfaces, the primary is a gigabit fibre card on IP xx.16. The secondary is a megabit card on IP xx.80 The tnsping command fails

I'm debugging my Samba setup using the "Troubleshooting Techniques" from Sam's Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours. Everything works fine up until the nmbd section. I am able to do the following correctly: nmblookup -U 127.0.0.1 __SAMBA__ nmblookup -U 127.0.0.1 POGO (the server) nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255 WIN-CLIENT (the client) but when I do nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255

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:

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.
