Re: [Cooker] Samba problems

[Bob Brickey]

I have several Windows 2000 Advanced Servers locally networked with a 
Mandrake 9.1rc2 Server, and a remote Windows XP Pro workstation networked 
miles away by means of a Microsoft VPN tunnel.  Shared folders on all the 
Windows 2000 Advanced Servers can be seen and files can be accessed from the 
Mandrake computer via Samba.  Files in a shared directory on the Mandrake 
computer also can be accessed from any of the Windows 2000 computers.  
However, Samba cannot see a shared folder on the Windows XP Pro computer, 
even though it can be seen and files in it can be accessed from all the 
Windows 2000 computers.  The Windows XP Pro computer can see the Mandrake 
directory being shared by Samba, but files in it cannot be accessed.  
Windows XP Pro asks for a UserName and Password when I try to access files 
in that directory and the correct password is not accepted.  That tends to 
support the compatibility problem you are experiencing between Mandrake with 
Samba and Windows XP.

This problem started with 9.1rc2.  I routinely exchanged files between 
Mandrake with Samba and the same Windows XP Pro computer via the same VPN 
tunnel using both Mandrake 9.0 and 9.1rc1.  Sorry, but I have been too busy 
to document this in Bugzilla, but thought I should comment when I saw your 
message.

In the current samba packages if you try to enable wins resolution the nmbd
portion od the server crashes or I should say it does not start and failes
durring the start.
Also has anybody had the problem were the computers are seen fine but you 
can
not browse the workgroup? I'm only getting this from xp boxes. If I go
start->run->//server it will pull up the server fine from this I can add
printers to the clients and when you click on my network places the shares
come up just fine but you can not view workgroup computers. As far as  ican
tell this is only happening from windows xp both pro and home.

I have already checked the ifc and browsrer services and browser is on and 
ifc
is off like they are supposed to be. I have also tried setting up linux ax
the wins master which is how  Ifound out it crashes when you try to enable
it. I have set it to local master, domain master, and prefered master.

Ok so I have done everything possible here that I know of. Is it possible 
that
the problem is with samba itself?
