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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Hello, As subject says I am working on browsing and access servers, which are dispatched on two subnet, in one workgroup named "WORKGROUP". First here the network : ( I don' t use ASCI art 'cause I am not an expert on that and it may not be printed as it was emailed. ) So, there is five machine : - one, under debian 6, which is the gateway - two, under

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 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.

Ok...trying to follow up here and see if someone can help me out, and let me know what is exactly hapening here. I have a few ideas, but I wanted to post here. As I said in my previous post, I am having problems browsing the corporate network from a Branch Office. Doing some testing, here is some output from my log.nmbd on my WINS server: [2004/06/25 12:20:45, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:terminate(54)

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, 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

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

I have two subnets S1 and S2 and only one machine running samba, but this machine is connected to both subnets, ahs one interface in each subnet and is acting as a router. I want to have a workgroup that spans the two subnets, so any machine in subnet S1 should see all the machines regardless of their subnet when doing browsing. I know that to do this I need: -One LMB in each subnet using Samba.
