I'm in the process of setting up Samba 3 on a Fedora core machine with a second machine being an XP machine. I can ping from either machine to the other. The command smbclient -L netbiosname on the linux machine gives me a "Connection to netbiosname failed On the XP machine I've enabled Wins over TCP IP but the command nbtstat -n on the XP machine only lists itself while the

I use Samba 3.14.17 and later test Samba 3.6.9. The computer is WINs server on Samba. wins support = yes All work good. But now I see that NetBIOS clients cannot to re-register their names on WINs, when he change IP. >From WinXP SP3 I do nbtstat -RR Answer: NetBIOS-names registered by this computer were changed. >From server: relay2# nmblookup -U 10.0.0.1 -R -S aiy querying aiy on

The subject line says it all really. I'm running Samba 2.0.4.b on FreeBSD, sharing a tree as I normally do (we use samba on about a dozen machines so I'm reasonably familiar with it). This one particular machine is not accessible from Windows NT Workstation 4.0 clients. It works fine for Windows 95 and Windows 98 clients. The machine does not show up in the Network Neighborhood for

I've got Samba 2.0.3 running on my Linux box. Marvin is the samba server. Bugs is the NT box. Attached is the relevant part of my smb.conf file. I removed several parts from what's attached to save bandwidth. What you see is simply the part that pertains to my printer. I can't print to the DeskJet printer. The printer appears in my network neighborhood, but I just can't get

Hi, I've been trying to get SSH tunnelling working with Samba. I'm using a Windows XP and a RedHat 8.0 box. I've closely followed the instructions from the HOWTO manual in order to set this up to no avail. I think the problem comes from the fact that my lmhosts file has no effect on the NetBIOS name cache when I preload it with the command 'nbtstat -R'. I checked the

Unable to resolve my problem after long time of reading and searching I decide to ask for help to the experts. The problems is that there is no browse list even thought everything works fine. I can share files with others machines but don't see anything on network neighborhood. Please Help! Testparm shows the following: max protocol = NT1 min protocol = CORE read

Hi all I've a samba server listen on eth0 (everything ok) and eth2 server1 has eth2: 192.168.100.212 <--> 192.168.100.213 (another linux server) with another interface 192.168.30.0/24 from network 192.168.30.0/24 I can ping 192.168.100.212 and works with samba shares (but only using numeric IP) I don't see any computers from windows machines. nbtstat doesn't find any host

Hello, Is there *any* way to reliablily determine the NetBIOS name of a computer when you only know their IP address? I know it is very easy to find the IP address from the NetBIOS name, but I can't seem to find any way of getting a NetBIOS name from an IP.. James deBoer (jdeboer@scsinternet.com)

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up a Windows XP Pro client to connect to a Samba server (version 2.2.8) on a Redhat 8.0 linux box, but have been having trouble for the past 3 days. I have gone through Troubleshooting Samba at [http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf] but I can't figure out how to fix the problem. I suspect that the broadcast address may not be the same on both

Hi all, All Win98 & Win2k used to be able to connect, but as of last week only one Win2k is able to access the share folder, but not without a little issue. Another Win2k in the same subnet have intermittent connection issue and Win98 is not able to access the folder. Setup: Samba 2.2.2 install into Solaris8 in a subnet with two other Win2k server.

Hi and hello. Does anyone have installed Samba using the ports-collection in OpenBSD recently? My WindowsXP-computers can't find the computer on the network at all. I use the standard smb.conf wich comes with the port-installation, exept these changes: [global] workgroup = NETDISASTERS encrypted passwords = yes hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2.0./24 192.168.3.0/255.255.255.0

My UPS failed and my server took an 'unscheduled outage' a few weeks ago. The only casualty appears to be a volume I used for backup. I usually maintain data on multiple hard disks, but in this case I errantly had some data (of marginal value) on this file system. At this point, the data is not worth enough for me to send the drive out for data recovery, but it's worth enough to

Have a 2003 server located outside of the Domain network over a VPN. The server originally existed inside the network (10.1.1.0/24) but now exists on 10.10.12.0/24. I can access shares over the VPN to the domain controller, but when I try to log in as a domain user it says the domain is unavailable. I added the domain controller as a WINS server on the 2003 server. nbtstat -c on the 2003 does

Hello, I've been trying out the bleeding edge, 1.2.alpha4. I'm having a problem with deliver and dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.1.

Hi, I've got a browsing problem, I'm searching the error for a long time now so I think betimes it's a bug ;-) For debugging purposes, I've left away everything in the network that's not necessary. There's now only one XP-Prof workstation (domain member) and one samba server (3.0.22, acting as PDC) anymore. Bind9 is the local DNS server; Forward and PTR entries are

I want to use samba to back up some directories on a QNX server to a Windows office network drive. (For those who may not be familiar with it, QNX is a commercial OS similar to Unix.) I am a samba newbie, but managed to fumble my way through this, using cron on the QNX machine to run smbclient command to copy a tar file to the Windows drive: smbclient //swin0001/comq -U$userpass -WCNT \
