similar to: Shares Work, Browsing Doesn't

I have 2 subnets. Subnet 1 has an NT WINS server. Subnet 2 has a Samba server acting as domain master browser and local master browser for a workgroup. If I view the network neighborhood from a Win 95 PC on Subnet 1 (call it PC_A), I can see all the hosts in the workgroup on both subnets. If I view the network neighborhood from a Win 95 PC on Subnet 2 (call it PC_B), I cannot see PC_A. I

Hello all I have been searching around the internet and even used the searchable samaba mailing list archive. It seems I have a rare case of where my problem is reversed to the common slow samba problem. My problem is this: I have a network of 3 PCs, one Linux 2 Windows XP. They are connected via a hardware router (switched) on the 190.190.1.0 network. On the linuxbox I have a collection of

(SuSE Pro 9.3, Samba 3.0.13-1.1) (I posted this earlier but didn't get much response so I'm trying again with a different subject line.) I have a Samba server set up on a Linux machine. I have four shares set up, not counting all those system things (homes, profiles, etc). When I access the shares from a Windows machine, the four shares show up like they're supposed to, in

Hi all, I am still battling to get browsing across subnets to work. I just need some clarification on some issues. I understand the following things to be the case, please correct me if I am wrong: - Machines on a subnet will periodically announce their existance by broadcasting to everyone their identity - Other machines will hear these broadcasts, and add the machines to their browse lists. -

Hello, I have a linux box with the following S/W versions: CentOS release 5.2 (Final) Linux ns.hostname.ro 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 24 19:32:05 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Version 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 My server has 2 IP interfaces, eth0: with the public ip address and br0: for the private subnet.

(SuSE Pro 9.3, Samba 3.0.13-1.1) I have a Samba server set up on a Linux machine. I have four shares set up, not counting all those system things (homes, profiless, etc). When I access the shares from a Windows machine, the four shares show up like they're supposed to, in addition to the system things. However, when I access the shares from a Linux machine, two of the four shares do not

It seems to be working for us now.

Hello All I have a Samba 2.2.7 on a RedHat9 system installed as a PDC. Domain logons work fine, I see the linux system in the network neighborhood, but the browsing of tha samba shares is very slow, especially on stepping up in the directory tree. Usually when reaching back to the first level of shares, the flashlight/folder icon appears in windows explorer, and in the top bar

Okay... seems I still cannot get anything working right with this as far getting it to print. Here is the three different files which I would like all to look at and see what I have screwed up since it refuses to print. Here is the setup of the network: HP 5L connected to Win95 - 192.168.0.1 Linux - Zeus - 192.168.0.3 -----------SMB.CONF FILE------------ ; /etc/smb.conf [global] printing =

I'm running Samba Version 3.0.14a on Debian Linux. My sm.conf is listed at the end of this message. I have two printers on server.thresh.lan, a Brother HL-1440 laser printer and an HP-5510 Office Jet (printer/scanner/fax/copier/gopher and dishwasher). The Brother is named "laser" and the HP is named "multiuse". I have a multi-boot system on the LAN that can boot

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

Hello: I am operating a Samba server as the only domain controller in a network consisting of 8 Windows 2000 clients and two Windows 98 clients. The server is running as a virtual machine in Xen and connects to the network over a bridged interface (I mention this because it may be relevant to the problem). 1. If the Samba server is configured thusly: [global] domain master = yes local master =

I've got to networks connected through leased line, routing set between networks, WINS server running on Samba. There's one primary samba server, and Win98/WinXP clients connected to it. First network with samba server works great with win98 and winxp. Second network also works ok with win98 clients, but when I connect Winxp it can't even open "my network places" and show

I have tried this with a bunch of different versions of Samba, starting somewhere in the 3.0.1 series. I am currently running 3.0.34 on several Gentoo servers, all showing the same problem. I am almost positive it is not a Samba issue, but I was just hoping that someone may have experienced it and knows if there is a solution. When I have the current Novell Netware client installed on XP

Thanks for this answer. As I understood, for example if parameter bind interfaces only = yes is and interfaces = lan0 (192.168.0.254) is and if broadcast packet goes from 95.95.95.14 such packet will be dropped (in other words) ? Am I right ? And other thing. Why is 192.168.0.255 (network broadcast) opened for ? May be exact such address (network broadcast) is inbtended for receiving broadcasts

I recently downloaded and installed binary versions of Samba 2.0.7 on two Sun Microsystems platforms running Solaris 7. One of the machines is an Enterprise 5000 and the other is an Ultra 10. I set up both servers for USER lever security and set all shares to be browseable. Both were set to be in workgroup SUN. When first installed, both machines appeared in workgroup Sun under Entire Network on

Hi, I'm trying to set up browsing across subnets to provide an 'enterprise'-wide (sorry for the MS term ;-) browse list / Network Neighbourhood. I've read BROWSING.TXT, but I can't see how machines on different subnets in different domains/workgroups sync up (using Samba, anyway). On my local subnet, I've set up a clunky old Linux 386 (Samba 1.9.18p8) as the browse

Trying all the stupid methods to solve the issue of Win2k hosts from different subnets that can't be seen in the NetworkNeighbourhood when server is Samba on Linux (including reading the F***ing manuals and not finding anything useful or browsing through the source of samba until my eyes fall in my mouth) I have decided that they were, well... ,stupid and chose to try crappy solutions! One of

Hi all, I'm observing an issue that as soon as libvirt starts, UPD broadcasts going through physical network (and unrelated to any virtualization) get broken. Specifically, windows neighbourhood browsing through samba's nmbd starts suffering badly (Samba is running on this same box). At the moment I'm running a quite outdated version 1.2.9 of libvirt, but other than this issue,
