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  0.1  4664 1788 ?        S    14:34   0:00

/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D

When I run netstat -a .... looks like netbios-ssn is set to LISTEN. Also netbios-ssn is defined as 139 in /etc/services

[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# netstat -a

Everything looks good. But when I run smbclient I get ....


[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L localhost
added interface ip=192.168.1.80 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
timeout connecting to 127.0.0.1:139
Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Operation already in progress)
Connection to localhost failed


I had this problem and actually uninstalled all Samba RPM packages and then
installed all over again using latest.tar.gz


hosts.allow file is set to ALL:ALL and nothing in hosts.deny

no firewall settings

The ultimate problem is that my XP PCs can see my linux pc (boslinux) but can't
connect to it when I double-click on it in Network Neighborhood ... error is ...

"\\Boslinux is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use
this network resource ...  The network path is not found."

SAMBA is working to some degree ... the pcs can see the
linux box name in network neighborhood.  If I edit smb.conf and change
workgroups the pcs eventually see the linux box in the new workgroup
(although we have too many hubs and there is a long latency issue).


Misc notes ...
=> I've rebooted both Linux and XP machines many times
=> SWAT takes forever when clicking on STATUS
=> SWAT server status shows nmbd: running => BUT smbd: not running EVEN THOUGH smbd is running when using ps -aux ????????
=> At DOS prompt $ pind boslinux returns fine



Also sometimes this error occurs when the PC tries to simply access it's own workgroup !!!! However they do eventually recover and can access other PCs and directories !!!!!!!!


Here's my smb.conf file ....

SAMBA seemed pretty easy when I first set it up.  Basically configure
smb.conf then run /usr/sbin/smbd then /usr/sbin/nmbd.   But I'm lost
now ...

Here are log.nmbd ....
