similar to: NetBios name when browsing domains

I am running SAMBA on Redhat Linux 7.x. I have a share for our office as a file server. The regular Win9x client can browse / edit / delete and use the server with no issues from the Windows Explorer / Applications except for one. We run AutoCAD (drafting) with an extension Cadpipe. Cadpipe has it's own file browser style interface where you add files to a list to create a

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

Given a DC environment where very few (1-3) hosts actually need to be discovered via browsing is there a good way to limit what is browseable? I'm thinking of something like a read-only WINS - where WINS provides only those servers that need be contacted and doesn't allow client registrations. Such as a wins.dat that only contains the following: ========================================

Hi all ! I have a PDC and a BDC in 2 differents subnets. I would like to sync their browse list but it doesn't seem to work. Actually here are a part my smb.conf files : PDC ------------------------------ ... remote browse sync = 10.10.20.10 remote announce = 10.10.20.10 security = user encrypt passwords = true domain logons = Yes os level = 70 preferred master = yes domain master = yes

Hello to all, BROWSING and WINS-problem: I currently have set up about 10 or 12 separated networks using Linux 2.0.35/Samba 1.19.xx. Using Isdn4Linux I have set up static routes to our central office server (same config). My networks use an IP range of 192.168.xx.0/24 where xx is different for every network. The IP configuration works fine now (I can telnet without any problems, dialling,

We are seeing some strange inter-subnet browsing issues here, our setup is as follows: .129 subnet [ samba box ] | | [ router ] ^ _.1 subnet _/ \_ .9 subnet_ The .129 subnet contains only the samba server configured to the letter from the browsing.txt file. The .1 subnet conists of win98 and winME boxes all configured from DHCP to use the samba box for WINS lookups.

Good afternoon, I have a new Samba414 install on clean Ubuntu server 12.04. All working except I cannot browse into shares. I get "not accessible" and then "element not found". Using "net use" works fine - I can "browse" a share that has been attached to a drive letter but I cannot browse the UNC path. That is to say NET USE P: \\MYDOMAIN\public works,

Hello, I have a few questions. I have network like this: (A)---------(MS)--------(SS)-------(B) | | inet (C) Ms and SS are linux servers with samba. others are workstations with WinMe. Can I make all subnets and all computers to see all computers on all subnets without using WINS? So A should see SS, B and C. Because between MS and SS is very long network

I have been searching around - I cant seem to figure out if netbios browsing is supposed to work or not. # /usr/sbin/nmbd -F -S nmbd version 4.1.7 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2013 server role = 'active directory domain controller' not compatible with running nmbd standalone. You should start 'samba' instead, and it will control starting the

Hello, we are testing a dc/rodc configuration with Samba AD, but we are stuck with a problem that occurs when one of the writable DCs (the one that was used as a partner during rodc join) is shutdown: Test configuration: - writeable dc and read only dc Samba 4.21 installed on Debian 12, with two sites configured - 2 writetable dc named dc-1 and dc-2 on central site -

I'm sorry if people are getting fed up with my question, but I didn't get a response from the first post, and I didn't even see the second post appear in the summary. Hi All, this is probably a common problem and FAQ but I can't the solution. I've got two subnets, 10.1.1.0/255.255.0.0 at Leeds and 10.2.0.0/255.255.0.0 at Doncaster. At Leeds, I've got samba running as

Hi all: I'm not sure where to begin. My setup here is Samba Version 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix acting as wins for a bridged OpenVPN network (if you know what that means). The net consists of 1 subnet (10.0.0.0/24). The OpenVPN Linux box also runs Samba, ip 10.0.0.110. There are 2 other windows/linux boxes "behind" the VPN server. There are "guests" (Road Warriors)

Hi all, I am still battling to get browsing across subnets to work. I just need some clarification on some issues. I understand the following things to be the case, please correct me if I am wrong: - Machines on a subnet will periodically announce their existance by broadcasting to everyone their identity - Other machines will hear these broadcasts, and add the machines to their browse lists. -

I have been having a heck of a time getting cross subnet browsing to work properly. After MANY hours hunting through source and debug logs, I have FINALLY found the source of my browsing issues. My Samba nmdb properly becomes the LMB for my segment on a WAN. I VPN to my servers at the home office and Samba attempts to sync with the DMB. nmbd properly locates the DMB via WINS over the

Hi, I have troubles understanding wins and network browsing functionnality. I have a samba server(pdc) on a different subnet than my clients. The server smb.conf has wins support = Yes, the client are configured to use the wins server. In the wins.dat, i can see all the computers. In the browse.dat i have only computers/servers that are in the same subnet. When i try to browse the network

Hi, everybody: Forgive me for bringing this to you. We normally use Samba servers but are dealing with a situation involving two Windows 2003 servers and browsing, and the truth is, I can't think of a better forum to bring questions about browsing. We have the following situation: Domain controller is a Windows 2000 machine at 192.168.0.100 The backup domain controller is a Windows 2003

Hi! I apologize, if the questions are simple, but its been a long time since I use Windows as enhanced typewriter only. The need to implement domain etc arose just suddenly. I am trying to implement VPN (and succeeded to implement it), even able to join windows clients to the Samba AD domain over VPN, but I am confused by not getting the browse list of computers for the network I

I have tried this with a bunch of different versions of Samba, starting somewhere in the 3.0.1 series. I am currently running 3.0.34 on several Gentoo servers, all showing the same problem. I am almost positive it is not a Samba issue, but I was just hoping that someone may have experienced it and knows if there is a solution. When I have the current Novell Netware client installed on XP

It seems to be working for us now. I have the following relevant settings in the [global] section of smb.conf ... remote announce = 199.170.245.255/ENGINEER 199.170.224.255/ENGINEER 199.170.232.255/ENGINEER workgroup = ENGINEER wins support = no wins server = 199.170.224.6 domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes ; os level = 0 don't want Samba to

I have a classic NT4 domain with the PDC also the wins server. With the recent ransomware problem, we're trying to remove SMB1 and below protocols. However when I do this, the browse list is gone. Hosts can access properly the shares, but they have to know exactly \\machine\share in order to to connect. The same thing from a linux client: smbclient -L {PDC} -m SMB2 Domain=[{MYDOMAIN}]
