netbios name resolution stops working after device change
Hi there.
This is with regards to samba-3.0.23c, on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p12
Previously I had Samba up and running without any problems. Then I
decided to do a tiny upgrade by simply switching to a new motherboard,
while keeping all other hardware and software aspects the same.
However, after the upgrade, netbios name resolution seems to have
stopped working somehow. \\servername lookups no

nmblookup fails
I'm debugging my Samba setup using the
"Troubleshooting Techniques" from Sam's Teach Yourself
Samba in 24 Hours.
Everything works fine up until the nmbd section. I am
able to do the following correctly:
nmblookup -U 127.0.0.1 __SAMBA__
nmblookup -U 127.0.0.1 POGO (the server)
nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255 WIN-CLIENT (the client)
but when I do nmblookup -B 192.168.1.255

wins: no nmblookup on 192.168.1.255 but 192.168.1.2
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:

name_query failed: Samba 2.0.3
I'm stumped on getting Samba to work again on our small network. I've
got one Windows 95 machine that started to refuse to talk to Samba last
week. I *was* running one of the 1.9.18 releases, but when it stopped
working, I figured I would delete the old release and do a clean
install of 2.0.3. I've done that, and used SWAT to configure the
smb.conf file (which can be seen below).

bug: inconsistent handling of workgroups > 15 chars leads to failed master browser elections
hi,
when i give samba a workgroup name with more than 15 characters [the
limit for netbios names], nmbd is unable to participate in browse master
elections. it appears that parts of internal samba code honor 16
characters and parts only honor 15.
details:
i used a workgroup name of nodomain.nowhere, 16 characters, on samba
2.2.1a. the samba box was the only member of this workgroup on the

Mac OS X + Samba + NT = Snag
After much nashing of teeth, I have compiled and installed Samba on Mac OS
X! The following lines (or something like them) should probably be added
to the config.guess file in the samba/source directory:
Power*:Darwin:*:*)
echo powerpc-apple-darwin${UNAME_RELEASE}
exit 0 ;;
I added them right after the "mac68k:OpenBSD:*:*)" section.

Due to a hard-disc crash, I have just upgraded from a working Samba setup
running in FC2 to a non-functional Samba setup running in FC3. The Windows

from the FC3 repositories.

Samba NOT using WINS? (was: network is busy / login failures)
Ok folks, the saga continues, but this is an issue
that I think should concern all Samba users/sysadmins.
It appears to me that Samba is NOT communicating with
the WINS server (at least not consistently) for
authentication of login requests when a pc tries to
get logged in and map a drive letter to a share.
In smb.conf I have the following relevant entries:

nmblookup fails to look up hostnames containing non-ASCII characters
I'm trying to use nmblookup to find the IP address of a Windows machine
called "MARKETKA" (only with an accent over the 'E'). If I do a reverse
lookup on the IP address, with debugging enabled, I can see that the hex
code for the accented 'E' character is 0x90:
$ nmblookup -d 4 -A 192.168.1.15 | grep MARK

Samba can't find its hostname via broadcast
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>

nmblookup failing
Hi,
I can't get "net view \\<servername>" to work from my Windows test
client.
It fails with "The network path was not found". I followed
some of the online debugging guides and have found that a
couple of the test nmblookups on the server are failing.
The server is named 'fileserver1' and its IP address is
155.2.196.251 for the purpose of this email.
