similar to: How can Samba both work, and, suddenly stop working, simultaneously?

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

Hi, I have a Samba 3 PDC running with around 20 Windows XP/2K clients. The PDC and the clients are in different subnets. I recently decided to add a Samba 3 BDC in the same subnet as the clients, to give some failover and also to reduce across-switch traffic. After creating the BDC, I restarted one of the clients but don't see it establishing connection with the BDC, instead it connects as

I had to move my RedHat 5 box acting as a PDC to a new IP address. It is running samba 3.5.10. After the move, none of my windows or linux samba clients worked anymore. I tried rejoining some to the domain, but would get error Unable to find a suitable server Join to domain 'MRIRESEARCH' is not valid The old PDC IP address is 132.183.202.95 and nothing is at that IP anymore (for 4

I'm hoping someone can give me a hand in figuring out this problem, I have seen several other similar problems in searching, but nothing that exactly matches what I am seeing here. I have recently migrated a client from a Samba server running 2.2.7 (Redhat 9) to 3.0.2 (Fedora 1). The samba installation is running as a PDC for 5 Win XP workstations and was working perfectly prior to the

Hello, Thanks for all the help so far. I've got nmbd and smbd so they're running now, not being blocked out by my firewall however nmbd is still unable to sync browse lists with my domain master browser, which i don't have as i'm in a workgroup and i'd like samba to be the master browser. I have enabled wins support see smb.conf below. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

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'm running smbd -V Version 4.1.0rc2-3.1-3075-SUSE-oS12.3-x86_64 This is a standalone server, and the only SMB/CIFS instance on my LAN. On launch, I see the following "find_domain_master_name_query_fail" error in logs. I can't track down what I've managed to do wrong; pointers appreciated. ==> log.nmbd <== [2013/09/07 16:21:41, 2]

Hi there!! I 'm changing the distribution from Suse8 to Fedora Core3. I have installed a new PDC server with : fedora core3, openldap, samba, and smbtools (that was included in samba) All sw above mentioned were installed with fedora core3. Now, I have my server working but.. I can't add a new machine (wXP) to this domain server. All my configuration are ok (samba+smbtools+openldap),

My Problem is: I can't connect with a Win2kmachine to Sambaserver2 witch get the passwords on Sambaserver1. I can create the machine account, but I can't login with a user.

Hello, I just installed samba 2.2.3a on my FreeBSD 4.4 box and am trying to connect to it using my win2ksp2 machine. I've got it set up to be the local master browser in my workgroup for my internal network. However it's not working. I checked the logs and in log.nmbd it's trying to bind to a domain master browser for the browse lists, which i obviously don't have. Is this a new

Greetings all; I really hope someone can help me. I recently upgraded to the most recent version (from a year-old version) of Samba, on a server now running on Ubuntu Server Jaunty Jackalope x64. After upgrading, whenever I play large media files on my Vista machine streamed from the Samba server, the networking functionality on the server drops out. Sometimes it happens after playing a video

Hi all, Everything was working fine with my samba server, until two days ago, when the clients started to say "domain is not available" when we tried to login. Looking at nmbd.log I found some errors but have no idea how to fix them...It has worked perfectly for almost two years... Does anyone have an idea?
