similar to: Windows - Samba freeze/slow browsing problem

Been experimenting with Samba as a WINS server. Need a WINS server as I am using VPN tunneling. My goal was to set up a central WINS server and have all the computers talk to it for NetBIOS name resolution. In the end I was hoping to have only one Samba server. I have currently worked with: Samba 2.2.7B on a uclinux. Samba 3.0.10 on RedHat. Samba 3.0.10 on Slackware. Samba 3.0.10 on FreeBSD.

PROBLEM: Cross-subnet browsing is not working. Browse lists on all machines contain only the machines on the local subnet. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS: The Local Master Browser (LMB) running Windows XP (ZAYIN) never contacts the Domain Master Browser (DMB) running Samba (BETH) to initiate a synchronization of browse lists.

Hello, I have been searching for answers now more then a week, but I cannot find a proper solution. Please help me with this: Scenario: Two differnet subnetted networks (1 and 2) connected by a cipe tunnel between two linux Samba boxes over the internet. On network one (1) is a Windows NT PDC installed which currently is the DMB for it's domain (1). On network two (2) one of the linux

Hello ! I have a problem of syncing browse lists between DMB and LMB. The topology of ours network is as follows: Linux Network comma(Linux, DMB, WINS) vol(Linux) door(Linux, LMB) | | | | | | | | | --------------(195.226.226.16/28)------ | | | | | | | --(local net

Hi everyone, I think I solved it: - I installed WINS on both sides on the PDC's (Samba on the one end, NT on the other). - On both subnets the clients are configured by dhcp to use their own PDC's WINS as their primairy WINS server and the WINS on the remote PDC as their "secondairy" WINS server. - TCPIP configuration on the Windows NT PDC configured to use it's own WINS

hi there, can please anybody help me solve my little problem ? I have about a dozen separated networks connected to my local lan via isdn dial-up (on-demand). I am running linux kernel 2.0.36 and samba 2.0.0 (2.0.2 doesn't work either). There is a linux-box running samba 2.0.0 connected to every remote network. The Clients are always Win95/Win98/WinNT. Local browsing seems to work perfectly.

Hi How do I get the following browse-setup to work? --------- | A | |Linux | --------- WG1 192.168.10.0 | | WG2 192.168.10.0 ---------------------- ----------------- | | | -------- -------- -------- | B | | C | | D | |Win98 | |WinNT | |Win98 |

Note: LMB = Local Master Browser DMB = Domain Master Browser Have Samba 2.2.7A running embedded in a variant of ucLinux. My interest was only to use Samba as a WINS server. I've set up the SMB.CONF with this config. for one test: wins support = yes local master = no domain master = yes preferred master = no os level = 0 I've set up the SMB.CONF with this config. for the other

If I have a client that wants to enumerate and access shares on a subnet, and that client knows the IP of the WINS server, is there any need for the client to use the "browsing" services of a DMB or LMB? What is the order of operations of the client? Here is what I imagine to be the case: 1. client asks LMB for a list of all available shares 2. LMB sends client the list of all known

I am still trying to make samba work over a WAN with multiple workgroups although I am just about to throw in the towel. I had hoped to find a solution that would permit a Windows PC to browse a (MS) workgroup (ie retrieve the browse list from the workgroup master browser for a remote (MS) workgroup when that MB is NOT a samba server). Since WINS only provides the broadcast address of the remote

Hi, I'm using samba 3.4.7 as a domain controller. Browsing network works fine, but sometimes ( about one week ), my PC can't browse more my Domain (no workstation saw). If I restart samba, all works again. I have read the samba doc on browsing http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetworkBrowsing.html My configuration seems ok, local master yes, preferred master

I think you need a DMB and LMB. Assuming you have no NT servers in your network, try these in [global]: domain master=yes preferred master=yes local master=yes os level=65 Note that if your other workgroups are on separate subnets, this gets trickier, involving WINS, etc. Steve Litt At 09:09 PM 02/16/2000 +1100, you wrote: >Hi all, >can anybody explain why win9x (or i think also NT) from

Hi, I'm using Samba 3.0.21c with PDC and severals BDC in different subnets. I'm triing to use Wins servers on all the BDC servers and on the PDC. The problems occurs in the network browsing. I'm able to see all computers with the PDC on the different subnets but I just can see local servers in the network neighborhood on BDC When starting BDC i've got the "unable to find

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

I realize this is most likely the most killed topic anyone on the net. Most of the information i've found don't directly answer this question. I have a Samba server set up as the DMB and LMB via smb.conf. I have set up nmbd to do WINS. I setup all my XP box clients to use my Samba server. I ran Ethereal on the server and can see the Samba server wins election for DMA and LMB. I can

Hello, As subject says I am working on browsing and access servers, which are dispatched on two subnet, in one workgroup named "WORKGROUP".

Hello, we are using "samba-2.0.6" (running on linux-2.2.14 machine). On our client machines we use "Windows 9x". There are 2 network segments: Segment 1 (192.168.1.0): - 13 Win95 client machines - 1 samba-2.0.6 server ("fsa01") which is WINS, DMB and LMB in its network segment (192.168.1.0). This samba is also the login server for our Win9x clients. Segment 2

Hello, please dont come and say one instead of every windows machine in your network, although it is something I would like to see happening.. my network has two lans A and B, I plan to install a SAMBA server in network A and have it act as a WINS Server too.

Hi, We have been using Samba 2.0.7 for a couple of years on Solaris 7. I am trying to move to a Samba 2.2.2 NT domain, with a Samba PDC offering WINS. I have downloaded the Solaris 7 package for 2.2.2 and installed it on a test machine as a domain master for domain "TEST" and "wins support = yes", but I am stumped almost immediately with a browsing problem.
