similar to: Samba DMB "loses" machines in the Network Neighborhood

I am using Samba-PDC-LDAP with samba-3.0.20b-1. On my file servers I am using samba-3.0.10-1.4. I'm not sure exactly what is happening but every couple of weeks the file servers disappear form network neighborhood. I checked browstat on my Windows system and it points to my PDC as the master browser and I checked the wins.dat file on my PDC and the systems were there. I did not check

Hi, Has anyone had this problem with Samba? I have been having trouble getting my Samba server to show up in my Network Neighborhood list. It is in the right workgroup, and when I do a search for computer, it is found. Yet, it never shows up in my NN list. Can someone give me some advice on how to make this work? Thanks, Ken

>From time to time someone will comment in this list that their Samba server has disappeared from the list of hosts in Network Neighborhood. Browsing the list archive has yet to turn up any good explanation of this phenomenon. I think I have a clue. This morning my server disappeared again. When I checked the process list on the server I noticed that nmbd had been swapped out to disk. The

Just an idea... We all know that NN under Windows is at best non predictable and totally impossible to use since many times machines are not showing themselves and so on.... We all know also that Samba is never the problem with that, it's just the M$ protocol. So my idea: if some clever Window$ programmer makes an app that is just doing the same: You launch the app you have the list of

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

Recently, we made a switch from 1.9.18 to 2.0.3. Under 1.9.18, we had local master turned off to prevent a browser election war. However, under some network configurations, (where the system was alone on a Workgroup), the system would, quite appropriately, not appear in the network neighborhood. So for 2.0.3 we changed the config file to allow election participation (local master = yes).

Hi all, I'm using Samba 1.9.18p8 under Solaris 2.5.1. Within my smb.conf file I am using the 'netbios aliases' option to make my server appear as 4 different servers with an smb.conf.%L to load the specifics of each: netbios aliases = hardware software diagnostics homedirs include = /usr/local/samba/var/smb.conf.%L The problem I'm encountering is that the only comment I see

dear Sir, i am running red hat 6.2 on one machine and windows 95 on another but i am unable to see the linux machine in my windows pcs network neighborhood.to check my samba server i tried the tests given in DIAGNOSIS.txt.I am able to run tests 1 to 4 without error but in test 5 which says ::: "test 5 : run the command "nmblookup -B ACLIENT '*'" You Should Get The

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

We have upgrade to Samba 3.0.2 from 2.0.5 on all our boxes running Solaris 2.6 and above and are now experiencing problems with French character sets. Before the upgrade, files containing French names were visible via users desktop PC's With Samba 3.0.2 these file names are truncated in length to the letter before the first French character. Have checked this out with Samba 2.0.5 running on

After setting up a working SAMBA test server, attempts to move it to production failed. The plan was to replace an old file server upgrading to 3.7 OpenBSD and SAMBA 3.0.14a. The test server worked in a test environment, but when moved to the production network replacing the existing server, SAMBA failed. The failure centers around SAMBA's inability to recognize that it has changed

Hi All, I turned my Debian box into a file server on my home network. What happened is now no boxen except the localhost shows up in Network Neighborhood on the Windows boxen. All shares work fine and if I search for the Linux server, I find it. Has anyone ever run into this and resolved it? Three days of Googling have left me with the same problem and a headache. Thanks.

As I know runnig of Nmbd at Acitve Directory mode is quite unofficial now (but possible) . I will not ask why it is not reccomded to run Nmbd within Samba4 started at AD mode. But if somebody can tell, you are wellcome. But when nmb code implementation is planned to AD part ? That is when nmb functionnality adding to Samba4 acting as AD is planned ? To bring possibiity to use full-forced

There is Windows 2008R2 actng as DC and Samba4 4.5.2 acting as standalone server in the same network. Samba4 is set up to be DMB: domain master = yes local maser= yes browse list = yes os level = 254 preferred master = yes enhanced browsing = yes Windows 2008R2 includes also DMB role in itself. As following, if Windows boots first, before Samba starts, it becomes DMB and has workgroup<1b>

Have there been any problems reported with running 2.0.2 on servers using security=server with a 1.9.18p10 DMB? We've run into a situation where I've upgraded 4 of our servers to 2.0.2 but the DMB is still running 1.9.18p10. We have had sporatic trouble with the upgraded servers rejecting correct passwords because the DMB seemingly would not properly validate them. Today, we ran into a

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

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
