similar to: Samba box not showing on win 98 network neighbourhood

Hi everyone: I m having problems making samba work as a standalone server, it doesnt appear on the microsoft win98 network neigh. Let me describe my network a little, cos its a little more complex than usual. 1.- Firewall with 3 ethernet adapters, the one that handles my internal network has IP 192.168.1.1, the firewall permit any communication within internal terminals. And the ethernet that

It sure is hard to find info in the documentation/mailing list for a specific error. If an error log message was created by smbd, nmbd, or winbind, shouldn't the documentation contain a description, cause, and possible solution? Specific case in point: [2005/08/05 11:31:22, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:domain_master_node_status_fail(250) domain_master_node_status_fail:

Hello Sorry for my english I have a PDC with Samba and OpenLdap in Debian 5 lenny. I am testing group, users,policy, net join workstation.... bla bla bla. results very good. Today change ip static the pdc 192.168.56.101 for new ip address: 192.168.56.102 static. error log in /var/lib/samba/log.nmbd nx-1:/var/lib/samba# /etc/init.d/samba restart Stopping Samba daemons: nmbd[2010/05/10

I had to move my RedHat 5 box acting as a PDC to a new IP address. It is running samba 3.5.10. After the move, none of my windows or linux samba clients worked anymore. I tried rejoining some to the domain, but would get error Unable to find a suitable server Join to domain 'MRIRESEARCH' is not valid The old PDC IP address is 132.183.202.95 and nothing is at that IP anymore (for 4

I run an IPsec/Freeswan VPN to connect 4 disparet windows LANS. I managed to RTFM until cross-subnet browsing worked (samba 2.0). Having upgraded to 2.2.3 It would seem that this feature is not working. BACKGROUND: originally all sources of information led me to understand that I would need a box running samba behind the firewall/IPsec box as I could not even ping a remote internal IP from the

Don't know how that last email took off, but that wasn't suppose to happen. Any the root 3 59.6 0.0 0 0 ? R< 10:16 11:04 [events/0] is a kernel thread that handles weird irq stuff. I just disabled onboard sound and USB and it went away. I'm still left with my other problems though, here they are 2.) I'm having LMB and DMB problems on the server,

Before yesterday I had a perfectly (as far as I could tell) functioning PDC with samba, roaming profiles and all. Yesterday I made some changes to the server 1.) install dhcp3 server 2.) changed IPs from 192.168.1.50 to 192.168.1.1 3.) changed netbios name from garnet-base to garnetmain 4.) started two more interfaces eth1 (172.17.0.0/16) and eth2 (cable internet) eth0 is still 192.168.0.0/16

This looks like a bug to me, except . . . no one else seems to have encountered it, and it's in a pretty basic area, so there must be something wrong at our site. When the Unix server becomes a local master browser, Samba is unable to sync its browse list w/that of the DMB. None of our NT machines are having any trouble, and our tech. support guy says the DMB is in good health. Rebooting

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:

I'm trying to set up Windows browsing between subnets. I've set up a domain master/WINS server on the .0 subnet, and local masters on the .42 and .254 subnets, and I'm running into the above error on one - just one - of the subnets. The strange thing is that I'm running exactly the same version of RHEL on another subnet - and I'm getting no error. 3.0.25 on RHEL5. The

Hello All, I am having a problem trying to ger Samba wot work again. It was working a few days ago and now it has stopped. My OpenVPN is working just fine but Samba does not seem to find the names. I was also trying to set it up so that the users could browse to our PeoplesQuest workgroup after which they could login to their account. ----------------------------------------- [2005/08/21

When you say, there is not network neighbourhood in samba 4 you mean that: 1: all the workstations show in the network neighbourhood except the domain controller. 2: There is absolutly nothing in the network neighbourhod, no workstations nor DC.

Hi all, I can see the RH7.3 linux box I've configured with the latest Redhat RPM samba package in the Windows 2000 network neighbourhood, but when I double click the W2000 computer icon I get the message "\\Linuxbox is not accessible, The network path was not found." The network is a small switched lan, sadly with only one unix box (RH7.3) and a mixture of Windows2000 and 98

Hi , I've some torubles with smb server provided with Debian 3.0 Woody - I can't see any machine in network neighbourhood, altought all machines are loging and mapping resources shared by server correctly. What exactly is needed to be installed with smb - any DNS or something like this? Maybe the question is not too clever, but when I've had my server on RH7.2 there was no such

I have samba 2.0.5 run on my RH6.1 In windoz,when I use "find computer",I can find it without any difficulty! Also I can access it using this method! But I can't see it in network neighbourhood! I've tried "net view /workgroup=MY_LINUXBOX_DOMAIN",still can't see. Why?(In my linuxbox,the dns resolve doesn't work.does that matter?) The following is my global

Hi, I setup samba according to the Howto and I'm not sure but I can't find my samba box in netowrk neighbourhood. If I run \\(samba IP address) I get it fine. It just doesn't show up in the nethood.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is the string that appears in browser lists restricted to being a single string without spaces, or can you include spaces ? I have samba v1.9.15p8 running on a SGI O2 system, and I'm accessing its filesystems from a W95 PC. I started off with the following line in my /etc/init.d/samba script NMBD_OPTS="-C11th Floor SGI O2" which results in

I have a Samba Server 3.0.23a running on a Fedora 4. Since Vista entered my lan I've been having problems with master browser elections. When a Vista client connects to my workgroup it kills the network neighbourhood and the only machines seen is the vista client and my fileserver. By changing the regedit entries on the client side following this advice: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM

We have a network here with Samba running as a WINS server and is the domain master browser. The network also consists of a couple of Novell 3.11 servers. Our Windows 95 stations have IPX and TCP/IP configured, NETBIOS is NOT enabled for IPX. The Windows 95 stations have the WINS server IP address typed in manually as is the IP address for the machine. The DNS is properly configured to resolve

Hi, I am a system administrator but new to Samba. We bought new PCs with NT service pack 4 and I am trying to configure Samba(2.0.x) so that users can access their UNIX(Solaris/IRIX) files from NT. I have two kinds of problems. Things seems to be perfect when I try this with Win98 but with NT, I can't see the UNIX server from Network Neighbourhood. But "net view" shows all the
