Help! I have a simple home network. I have samba [2.2.7a] running with the smb.conf file listed below. I can see this machine in network neighborhood on a Win98 machine and a WinNT 4.0 machine, but I cannot see this share from a Win2K machine. If I issue a net use command from the cmd window on the Win2K machine I can mount the share and then open it as normal. WHY can't I see

This seems to be common enough problem. I've used a variety of methods (command line as well as utilities like LinNeighborhood) to mount XP shares on my RedHat 8.0 running Samba 2.2.7. I get consistent problems the other way around. Despite a couple of shares on my Linux partition, I am just unable to do get to it. Network Neighborhood shows my Linux/Samba server but no shares, nor can I

Hello !

Hello All: I have a small problem in setting up Samba on my NT network here. This is the environment on which I'm running Samba Server on: Samba Version: 2.2.7-1.7.3 OS: Redhat 7.3 Kernel: 2.4.18-18.7.x Problem description: Samba Server is not visible in my windows XP/NT network neighborhood.

I am running a network with 2 XP boxes and 1 RH8.0 box running Samba 2.2.8a (bin pkg). I have also tried Samba 2.2.5 (the included distro ver.) and Samba 3 (not in depth though). I have added my WinXP username/passwd to smbpasswd and to the Linux User list. I've tried encrypt passwords and have even tried playing with the 'gpedit.msc' in Win XP to turn off encryption to 3rd party

Hello u all, sorry to bring this issue back again, but I?ve been searching and trying all the advices suggested in previous posts and I still can?t see the samba server in the win network neighborhood. I can see the samba shares from win via net view \\servername but if I issue a plain "net view" samba won?t show up. only the win machines, the same i can see on the Neighborhood...

Color me stupid! I have set up a small SAMBA network using a Caldera Systems eServer 2.3 implementation of Linux with a AMD K-6/2 and 128 meg RAM. It works great from one computer, and one user id, but I am unable to login as any other user. The one user is set up in such a way that it would create a serious security hole (member of group root). The server shows up in the network neighborhood,

[cross-posted from www.tek-tips.com] Dear samba forum, I've now wasted most of a weekend on this issue, so now it's time to swallow my pride and ask for help! Background: My main home computer died. I can't afford to replace it right now, so I'm attempting to retread an old AMD PC into a linux print/file server. Clients are a mixed bag of Windows XP home/professional PCs. The

When I set: wins support = yes time server = yes my wins service stops working and no computers show up in the network neighborhood..as soon as I change time server = no, they start to re-populate. I have looked around and havent found a definitive answer (apologies if I overlooked it)... but if someone could tell me if this is a documented issue, or just me that woudl be great Thanks

We're running Samba 2.2.2 over an NT network. Our clients use Win95 (for the time being) and I wondered how we config Samba so they can map the shares using network neighborhood. We can map fine through MS-DOS, but when I try, for example, to map E drive to \\nfssrv\ads share via network neighborhood (where we ARE able to see the shares), it says E: is already connected to . Do you want

hi, I need a hand setting up cross subnet browsing. Does anyone have some good news group postings, or a HOWTO? I have 2 samba servers, and 2 subnets. Each servers sits on it's own domain/workgroup. I think this should be much simpler than it is, and perhaps I am just missing one or two settings. Of the 2 servers: A, B I would like 'A' to do any serving or hold any

Hi, Here is the network setup Linux 8.0/samba 3.0 hostname = testbox workgroup or domain = testnet.lan Active Dir./DNS = 192.168.110.x I been trying to join a linux 8.0(testbox) with samba 3.0.2 to a AD native mode environment.I used the command "net join ads Administrator" and tells me testbox is joined to testnet.lan realm and i see it on network neighborhood,but I can't open

I'm running samba on a local linux server, with a bunch of shares. Over the last several years, this has worked perfectly in our heterogenous network of OS X and Windows. All my windows clients still work perfectly - my users can mount the samba shares and create, rename, move etc files and folders. However, recently (starting yesterday) my OS X clients are unable to rename any sub

I just successfully upgraded a server from v 2.2.8 to v3.0.7. When I execute smbstatus or swat it correctly shows v 3.0.7. When I browse thru network neighborhood it still shows v 2.2.8. I stopped samba, and removed /usr/local/samba/var/locks/browse.dat & wins.dat. Then restarted samba. It still reports v2.2.8 thru network neighborhood. In viewing browse.dat it shows 2.2.8. Where is this

Hi, I'm setting up a Linux machine to use as a file server for a small group of windows machines. Like many of the folks who write to this list, I'm having all kinds of difficults getting the Windows machines to be able to access the Linux shares. In my case, the most frustrating thing is that all of my Windows machines and users can access the Linux shares SOMETIMES. But

I have a private IP network with one win98 PC and one Linux PC. The windows machine can only access shares if I map a network drive and type the path in explicitly. When I go to network neighborhood the Linux PC does not show up. Both machines are in the same workgroup, so it should be there. When I type the path directly into the address bar in network neighborhood the program stops

My goal here is to add my Redhat 9.0 box to the domain and authenticate to the ADS Win2K domain from my Redhat 9.0 box. I have read the user gorup archives,man pages, for smb.conf and winbind, and I have read Head/3.0 documentation, specifically this part is where I started: http://us3.samba.org/samba/devel/docs/html/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html#ads-member The docs are sadly not complete....
