I run an Ebox 1.0 server since quite some time. It is used as a PDC in a network with mixed Windows and Kubuntu clients.

It is not used for gateway, dns or dhcp services, basically just for user authentication and filesharing. It has been working well with minor headaches on the linux clients.

Since some time last year, unknown exactly why, I have a problem with the shares on the Kubuntu clients. On the Windows clients they show up and behave as expected. But on the Kubuntu clients they no longer show up in any kind of network/smb browsing. If I use Smb4K that I use elsewhere, both on another ebox net and on windows networks, I can see the network and the computers including the Ebox server. But I can see no shares any longer (this used to work).

If I from Konqueror filemanager use address smb://192.168.17.3/ I see all shares but if I type smb://eboxscc (the server name) nothing comes up.

If I from a terminal type "smbclient -L eboxscc" I get "connection to eboxscc failed (error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL) but if I type "smbclient -L 192.168.17.3" I get the expected output.

I use clients with both Kubuntu Hardy 8.04 KDE 3.5.10 and Kubunty Karmic 9.10 KDE 4.3.4, same result.

Any ideas what might be wrong anyone?

Kind regards,
Sinclair
