fc2, samba 3.0.9 The samba server is PDC. Temporarily, the server was dhcp, which gave it the IP 192.168.1.64 we then set it to static 192.168.1.150, which is what we want. however, the different windows clients, on and off, on ping and such, resolve INTRANET, the netbios name of the pdc, to 192.168.1.64 still, despite me removing wins.dat. I even tried the following suggestion, to no avail

I recently reinstalled Linux on my fileserver (RedHat 7.2), which was running Samba (v 2.2.1a). Now, trying to reconfigure Samba back to its original state (silly me didn't keep a copy of the conf file) I've run into a problem. My win98 machines can't find the Samba server by name, but they can by number. By this I mean: On a Linux desktop, smbclient -L //marvin/ works as

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

On a recommendation from this list I checked the junklog file, the output from which I attached below. It looks as if it does not even see the linux machine as it indicates not seeing "explorer" which is the local netbios name. The Win XP machine does not even show in the log. Here is the last entry for nmbd.log: ***** [2003/11/21 06:24:58, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:terminate(54) Got SIGTERM:

Hi! I have a problem for a few weeks, and can't figure out what could be the problem. The client computer runs RHEL 5.2 (arch: x64_64); the smb server is unknown for us. I'm sorry, that I can't provide any info (usernames, servernames, IPs, etc), they are masked to look like variables. But they are correct as far as i am concerned. When I try to mount it with mount.cifs (.smbfs

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. This subnet is connect to a number of

Hi all, Situation: We use smbtar for backups, incrementals done using -N <last date file>, and this has worked well with samba 2.2.x After upgrading to 3.0b3, using the -N (newer) option to smbtar causes a bad interaction with smbclient. Eg,: # smbtar -s PC -x Share -u User -p Pwd -d / -t - -N last-backup -v gives (if you print out the eval at the end of smbtar script): eval

Hello, I just took an old PC and installed SuSE 7.0 on it. The machine has 32Mb of RAM, so I needed a slim installation and kernel, and this was the only package I could get to install without immense effort (I tried 5 other versions of small linux distros from linuxiso.org before this one). The version of Samba I installed on this Suse box is 2.0.7. From what I have read, this version SHOULD

I noticed lots of smbclient options are missing in Samba 3.0.14a when compared to 3.0.13 - notably, all user/authentication options - so I can't connect now as a specified user anymore. Is it just my build, or is it "official"? Samba 3.0.14a: # smbclient --usage Usage: [-?] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-R|--name-resolve NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER] [-M|--message HOST] [-I|--ip-address IP]

Hi people: I recently installed a Samba 4.0.3 server in a small company. Users are still working as a workgroup -not as a NT nor ADS domain yet- using Windows XP and Windows 7. Everything seems to be working fine except for one thing: Windows clients can't find the samba server from the Windows Network Places (My Network Places -> Entire Network -> ...). It just appears the rest of

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

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 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

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

we have been trying to move our samba box to a faster server, with better NICs, faster processor and more memory. both the old and new server are using samba 3.0.14A both on debian based distributions (old was sarge, new is breezy) here are the steps we followed: install samba from the apt archives. confermed that they were the same version. copied smb.conf from old server to new server. changed

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)

My LAN has a single linux/samba server as a PDC/file server, and several windows workstations. The workstations get their IP addresses from a Linksys cable router DHCP server. I can't get the linux machine to resolve the NETBios names of the windows machines. >From the Linux machine I can see the Internet through the DSL router, I can ping the windows machines by IP address, but

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 \

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
