similar to: Samba WINS Server losing all elections against

I've been running samba servers with 200+ W98 machines for some time. I'm changing to W2k and everything was going fine. I've upgraded 40 boxes. One W2k box has started announcing itself as a local master browser for one of the workgroups. A samba server thinks it is master, forcing election. Samba will stop being the LMB for about 3 minutes and then will re-establish itself as

Specifying Browser Computers When you start a computer running Windows 2000, the browser service looks in the registry for the entry MaintainServerList to determine whether a computer will become a browser. MaintainServerList is found in the following registry subkey: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters Table I.1 shows the values to which MaintainServerList

Hi list, I have a network with a Linux server, running samba 2.2.x, and 10 Workstation. 3 of the workstation are Win2000 and the rest is Win98 and WinME. In the logfiles I see that every 10 Minutes the Win2000 Workstations are forcing a election to become the local master browser for the network. The server wins the election each time but there is still a small amount of time (maybe 4 minutes)

I've read too many articles and posts on "domain master browser", "computer master browser", "NT domain browser", "PDC and BDCs", etc. etc. and I've managed to confuse my shrinking brain over this. I apologize in advance if I'm posting a redundant question (I've looked thru archivers best I could) or posting to the wrong place.

Dear Samba-Users, I have to administer a Samba WINS Server in a heterogenous network. It's a student hostel with about 200 mixed (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) computers. We have a DHCP, which delivers the WINS-Server address to the clients. I don't have access to the clients. The problem is, that the WINS-Server (Samba 3.0.27) looses the Master-Browser election irregulary. I can't

Hi there. First time posting to this but I'm getting desperate so apologies for any netiquette faux pas... I'm running a Suse box with Samba on it, with Windows XP SP2 clients viewing it in a workgroup. Some pc's are having timeouts when attempting to view a network share though. In the logs, sometimes at the same time as the timeouts, this appears: [2005/07/28 13:19:08, 0]

I've got a random issue with a samba 3.0.10-1.4E.2 (from RHEL 4u2) installation. Basically everytime a pc boots up this happens: Dec 17 06:05:43 gws nmbd[15336]: [2005/12/17 06:05:43, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_local_master_announce(311) Dec 17 06:05:43 gws nmbd[15336]: process_local_master_announce: Server foo at IP 192.168.0.133 is announcing itself as a local mas ter browser

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

Hello Samba; I am aware this was a problem years ago... This week I turned up a brand new server to replace an embarrassingly old one. The problem has re-occurred. I expected this to be a problem long ago fixed. I have made the following registry edit to the offending XP machine and restarted Samba. I hope it sticks. I have two questions: 1) Have I missed something in the configuration?

Hi all, Today our domain went down. When looking in the log it appears that a windowsXPpro machine won the election. The domain controller has an OSlevel of 65 (3.0.14a). Restarting the smb process (/etc/init.d) resolved the problem. How is it possible that the XP machine was able to win the election ? After the election the XP machine (of course) failed to become the master browser. But why

Pardon the long log file but I'm fairly new to WINS servers and probably don't know what I'm doing. We've have two subnets (lets call them xxx.xxx.xxx.??? and yyy.yyy.yyy.??) I have one samba/linux server on both networks xxx.xxx.xxx.2 and yyy.yyy.yyy.2. xxx.xxx.xxx.2 is set up to be a domain master and yyy.yyy.yyy.2 is setup to be a local master with xxx.xxx.xxx.2 as its master.

Hi! Configuration: NT1 (NT Server 4.0 SP4) Unix2 (samba 2.0.3) Is this a normal behavior? My NT-Server and my samba-server a fighting to be the master browser. Look also at my smb.conf [global]-section. The OS-Level of my samba-server is much higher. /var/log/log.nmb: ***** [1999/10/06 14:01:07, 0]

Hi I'm still struggling with this problem. Here is my situation: I have two Windows 7 laptops, call them A and B, and a Raspberry Pi Samba server on a home network, all with the same workgroup name. The Pi's name is RPHS. A and B can see each other (their names appear under Network in Explorer on both laptops). Both A and B can access the Pi if I specify the IP Address in
