similar to: problems with Windows XP clients becoming local master?

Dear Samba-Users, I have to administer a Samba WINS Server in a heterogenous network. It's a student hostel with about 200 mixed (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) computers. We have a DHCP, which delivers the WINS-Server address to the clients. I don't have access to the clients. The problem is, that the WINS-Server (Samba 3.0.27) looses the Master-Browser election irregulary. I can't

Dear people of samba, my problem seems to be a firewalled WinXP in our net. Our Samba is the Debian testing (Samba 3.x). It is configured to hold the browsing list and to become master.

Let's see I've got a network about 10 PCs running XP and 1 running Linux. I had setup Samba and it was running like a charm. XP pcs could access linux box through network neighborhood and access 2 shared dir and edit/change files. Really not sure what has gone wrong. I am using Samba 2.2.8a I run both smbd and nmbd as daemons. When I run ps -aux they show up. root 1553 0.0

Hi! Configuration: NT1 (NT Server 4.0 SP4) Unix2 (samba 2.0.3) Is this a normal behavior? My NT-Server and my samba-server a fighting to be the master browser. Look also at my smb.conf [global]-section. The OS-Level of my samba-server is much higher. /var/log/log.nmb: ***** [1999/10/06 14:01:07, 0]

Hi Rowland > Possibly a firewall problem, temporarily turn off the firewall on the win7 > laptop that cannot see your rpi, if this works, you know where to look. Thanks for the suggestion. I disabled Kaspersky Internet Security Firewall and Windows Firewall but still can't see the rpi. I can, however, see the other Windows laptops (with firewall on or off). Any other thoughts

Hi, We are seeing this on our Fedora Core 2 machine when accessing the share from a Windows 2003 box. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, Today our domain went down. When looking in the log it appears that a windowsXPpro machine won the election. The domain controller has an OSlevel of 65 (3.0.14a). Restarting the smb process (/etc/init.d) resolved the problem. How is it possible that the XP machine was able to win the election ? After the election the XP machine (of course) failed to become the master browser. But why

Hello everybody. I've been trying for weeks to find a solution for my problem, but since I couldn't find anything, here I am. I manage a network of about 200 PCs, 90% windows XP and Vista, 10% linux. A samba server is located on the main server, acting as a WINS server, to manage the list of connected computers. However, when a resident computer is badly configured (ie no wins server

Hi I'm still struggling with this problem. Here is my situation: I have two Windows 7 laptops, call them A and B, and a Raspberry Pi Samba server on a home network, all with the same workgroup name.

Hi all! I've got a samba-3.0.14a-2 running on a single subnet. It has been my WINS server for a long time and has done well, until now. The dhcp server on the subnet is telling all clients to use the file server as WINS but when one of the employees here plugs in his XP Media Center Edition, browsing is failing. It's failing by only showing the file server, the XP MCE and eventually the

I'm having trouble with my Samba 3 PDC and several XP Pro workstations stealing the master browser status on the network. These users won't log in to the domain. Logs and purified smb.conf attached.

Thanks for the replys... Just a basic samba server...being accessed by windows 7 to the gc and tmr shares with \\10.10.171.9\gc and \\10.10.171.9\tmr This has been running for a year without any issues...till the update yesterday afternoon :-( The file server is Ubuntu 18.04 and there was an update to Ubuntu 18.04.1, which I thought would be a mild step. The current version of samba is...
