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, After lots of struggle and rtfm I finally got most things running, except for 'nmblookup' and 'net getlocalsid' on the BDC. I'm not new to Samba, but plenty more to learn. Here's the setup in summary: system pdc is the PDC on subnet 192.168.0.0, running SuSE10.1, LDAP master, wins server, domain master browser, no iptables; system bdc is the BDC on subnet 192.168.2.0,

Hi folks, I find that nmblookup seems to be receiving responses to name queries, but ignoring them. Here's what's happening: # nmblookup somehost querying somehost on x.y.255.255 name_query failed to find name somehost But watching the transaction with ethereal on the local host, I see that: 1. nmblookup on local udp port nnnn (some random number above 1024) sends an nbns

It's really weird how many times thing break in threes. This time is was my wife's laptop, my router and a phone. Anyway... My network has a router and 2 computers; my F11 box with the samba server on it called steve and my wife's laptop now running Windows 7 called Kellie-PC. My old router was a Linksys WRT54G that I had flashed with DD-WRT. I was using DHCP and DNS masquerading in

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,

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:

Hi there, i have Samba 2.2.7a running on FreeBSD-STABLE 4.7. I set up a few things and smbd and nmbd start up at boot, i can browse the net. However, nmblookup can only find IPs by SMB-names, but not SMB-names by IPs. Here is an example output of the failed lookup: %nmblookup -d 3 210.104.1.133 Initialising global parameters params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file

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

Hello, I'm having problems getting my samba setup to work at a little LAN i partially maintain.

I've got Samba 2.2.2 installed and running fine on one of our servers (RS/6000 AIX 4.3.3 and using NT authentication), however, when I do Test #4 (from docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt) it looks like this: npssrv{root}#nmblookup -B npssrv _SAMBA_ querying _SAMBA_ on 173.148.200.113 name_query failed to find name _SAMBA_ The test said I should get back the IP address of our samba server.

I installed samba4wins on two of my Fedora Core 3 servers (from src rpm), on one PDC (samba 3.0.21c) and on one standalone server without samba, in order to test samba4wins. I think I managed to install and to setup properly the software but it seems nmblookup is not working on the PDC samba: [user]$ nmblookup '*' querying * on 192.168.19.255 name_query failed to find name *

Hi, I hope you can help! I am having problems getting samba to share across a large private network. The problem looks a bit like the problem is in resolving the name to an IP but I can't work out why. The network is a private (10.) network, and the PC's connecting to it are named and identified through Wins. All the PC's are running Novell clients to connect although a large
