Using Ubuntu 6.06.1, Samba 3.0.22, VMWare on Win2003 server. I can connect using with admin user and ip address, but using admin and netbios name prompts for password and results in access denied. WINS is enabled in Samba config. Does Vmware or Ubuntu introduce weird problems or is something else going on? Running the net stat command results in error 5 trying to resolve netbios name.

I have an Apple iBook running OS X 10.2 connected to my network via an 802.11b wireless network. When I transfer files via SMB with my Windows 2000 computer, the speed seems reasonable. However, when I connect to a share on my Debian (x86) box (kernel 2.4.19) running Samba 2.2.3a-12 for Debian, the speed is only about a sixth as fast (transferring files to or from the Win2k box is about 6

For quite awhile I've noticed that smbd uses 10-15% of my CPU (Pentium 4) when nothing visible is going on. I have a couple of laptops on my home network, and some experiments showing that powering on the Vista laptop (other is OSX) is sufficient to raise useage from 0 to 10-15%. The screen is locked, although 2 user accounts are logged in. Wireshark seems to show a lot of chatter,

My LAN has a single linux/samba server as a PDC/file server, and several windows workstations. The workstations get their IP addresses from a Linksys cable router DHCP server. I can't get the linux machine to resolve the NETBios names of the windows machines. >From the Linux machine I can see the Internet through the DSL router, I can ping the windows machines by IP address, but

I've just about given up on trying to get WinXP SP2, Cisco VPN Client 4.6.x, Samba 3.0.x PDC and NetBT working properly - without long login and offline file sync delays. The VPN client is most of the problem when SP2 is installed, but all is fine with SP1. Being we have nothing but WinXP clients on the network, I'd like to explore disabling NetBT altogether, since the slowness

Hi, I hope this hasn't already been discussed to death, but I didn't find the answer through Google. In short, my question is: how can I advertise a Samba server through UPnP/Network Discovery? I'm currently using Samba 3.2.6, but should be able to upgrade if needed. I am trying to build an IPv6-only network, for now just for testing purposes. The problem I am having is that

Hey all, I have a samba server running 3.0.10 and I am getting a weird response from PC (XP and 2K) clients. The PCs are joined to the domain as is the samba server. When any PCs try to connect using the netbios name or IP I get the error: Access to the resource \\netbiosname has been disallowed. If I unjoin the PCs from the ADS domain, they can connect fine. I see no kerberos errors and

fc2, samba 3.0.9 The samba server is PDC. Temporarily, the server was dhcp, which gave it the IP 192.168.1.64 we then set it to static 192.168.1.150, which is what we want. however, the different windows clients, on and off, on ping and such, resolve INTRANET, the netbios name of the pdc, to 192.168.1.64 still, despite me removing wins.dat. I even tried the following suggestion, to no avail

Hello I try to implement pam_mount and I have errors.

When I made the move to 3.0, I noticed that smbclient no longer works with null passwords. Am I missing something? I read the FAQ, which suggests that the server is rejecting the null password. But I know that null passwords work fine for the 2.2.8a client, so the server is not the issue. The FAQ recommends "smbclient -L host -U%", but I don't want to set the username to null. I

List, Long and confusing message follows... I'm facing a frustrating problem. XP clients can use resoures on the samba server by IP-address, but not by name. So, "net view \\servername" gives "access denied" but "net view \\ipaddress" gives list of shared resources. Samba server (3.2.7 sernet rpm) is a member server in W2003 domain. I emphasise that with

My clients are Windows XP SP1 and SP2, members of a Samba-PDC NT domain (tested 3.0.7 and 3.0.10, same result). Attached is ethereal output of a two packet client-server exchange that takes place when an offline files sync is done. SP1 quickly does this exchange twice - first broadcast, then unicast (as attached) and goes on its way. SP2 tries, pauses many seconds, tries again, finally

hello I would like to join a Netapp fileserver to a Samba domain that uses an external Openldap server for authentication. Here's what I do and where it goes wrong (I've hidden the real ip addresses). I've also created a machine account for the Netapp server on the PDC.: What is the name of the Windows NT 4 domain?

Hi, I used to have a set of samba shares working fine on a Centos 4 machine, accessed by XP clients and authenticated against a 2003 SBS server. Then I did a yum upgrade and a week later noticed that the seldom-used SMB shares have stopped working. No other changes to the Centos server, and no domain changes. The XP clients now just keep prompting for authentication. A wireshark trap shows

Hello, I have seemed to run into a snag and am wondering if any kind soul on here has any thoughts of what the problem may be, I have roaming profiles setup for a network of Windows XP Pro computers, using a domain controller.

Hello, I already setup a samba server as PDC for windows client to logon and working fine now with the following config: - redhat 7.3 - samba 2.2.7a Then I try to access the samba share from Redhat 8, I can use smbclient to access the share without problem but I can't access the share with "KDE's Konqueror" (smb://NetbiosName/), it can show all shares, when I double one of

Hi All, I have been using Samba 4.15 on CentOS 6.3 64 bit for last 3 months with no issues but suddenly there i am facing below issues. 1. Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate cannot join the domain, but can telnet all the port. 2. Shared resources on Server 2003 which is added to domain is available some time and some time not. For isolating the issue I have temporary removed the server from Domain the
