Hi all, I would like 2 "Windows" PCs connected with PPP to a linux box to share their files and printers using netbios.
The linux box doesn't have to appear in the "network neighbourhood". So I run nmbd (and NOT smbd) in the linux box with the appropriate options in smb.conf to be a wins server and to be the domain browse master and local browse master (as I saw in the file "browse.txt" in the docs). One of the "Windows PC" is an XP computer. On this machine in the neighbourhood I see the workgroup name a entered in smb.conf (MY_WORKGROUP), but I can't browse it. The name resolution looks good though (I can ping the windows name of the linux box). In the tcpdump on this connection, it looks like the client sees the linux box (BLUEDSL), and the try to connect to a TCP port (that would probably be handled by smbd if it were here). Is there any chance I could make this configuration work ? Is anyone interested in having more logs/config files ? Regards, David. ps : I use samba 2.2.3a and the linux box is based on an ARM processor, linux 2.4.17. tcpdump on the linux box : linux box : name BLUEDSL, IP : 10.0.0.1 XP machine : name CMO_LAP, IP : 10.7.58.2 ... 10 20.140000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 NBNS Registration response NB 10.7.58.2 11 20.180000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 NBNS Registration NB MY_WORKGROUP <00> 12 20.180000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 NBNS Registration response NB 10.7.58.2 13 20.210000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 NBNS Registration NB CMO_LAP <20> 14 20.210000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 NBNS Wait for acknowledgment response 15 20.220000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 NBNS Registration NB MY_WORKGROUP <1e> 16 20.220000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 NBNS Registration response NB 10.7.58.2 17 26.800000 10.7.58.2 -> 255.255.255.255 BROWSER Get Backup List Request 18 26.800000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 BROWSER Get Backup List Response 19 26.810000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 NBNS Name query NB MY_WORKGROUP <1b> 20 26.810000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 NBNS Name query response NB 10.0.0.1 21 26.830000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 BROWSER Get Backup List Request 22 26.830000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 NBNS Name query NB BLUEDSL <20> 23 26.830000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 BROWSER Get Backup List Response 24 26.840000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 NBNS Name query response NB 10.0.0.1 25 26.850000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 TCP 3111 > netbios-ssn [SYN] Seq=1608383483 Ack=0 Win=16384 Len=0 26 26.850000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 TCP netbios-ssn > 3111 [RST, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1608383484 Win=0 Len=0 27 27.340000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 TCP 3111 > netbios-ssn [SYN] Seq=1608383483 Ack=0 Win=16384 Len=0 28 27.340000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 TCP netbios-ssn > 3111 [RST, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1608383484 Win=0 Len=0 29 27.860000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 TCP 3111 > netbios-ssn [SYN] Seq=1608383483 Ack=0 Win=16384 Len=0 30 27.860000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 TCP netbios-ssn > 3111 [RST, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1608383484 Win=0 Len=0 31 27.880000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 NBNS Name query NB BLUEDSL <20> 32 27.890000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 NBNS Name query response NB 10.0.0.1 33 27.900000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 TCP 3112 > netbios-ssn [SYN] Seq=1608672262 Ack=0 Win=16384 Len=0 34 27.900000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 TCP netbios-ssn > 3112 [RST, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1608672263 Win=0 Len=0 35 28.350000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 TCP 3112 > netbios-ssn [SYN] Seq=1608672262 Ack=0 Win=16384 Len=0 36 28.350000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 TCP netbios-ssn > 3112 [RST, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1608672263 Win=0 Len=0 37 28.860000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 TCP 3112 > netbios-ssn [SYN] Seq=1608672262 Ack=0 Win=16384 Len=0 38 28.860000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 TCP netbios-ssn > 3112 [RST, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1608672263 Win=0 Len=0 39 28.880000 10.7.58.2 -> 255.255.255.255 BROWSER Get Backup List Request 40 28.890000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 BROWSER Get Backup List Response 41 28.890000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 BROWSER Get Backup List Request 42 28.890000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 BROWSER Get Backup List Response 43 28.910000 10.7.58.2 -> 255.255.255.255 BROWSER Get Backup List Request 44 28.910000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 BROWSER Get Backup List Response 45 28.920000 10.7.58.2 -> 10.0.0.1 BROWSER Get Backup List Request 46 28.930000 10.0.0.1 -> 10.7.58.2 BROWSER Get Backup List Response 47 31.210000 10.7.58.2 -> 255.255.255.255 BROWSER Get Backup List Request ...
