May be due to no guest account. From Samba 3 by Example:
Network browsing involves SMB broadcast announcements, SMB enumeration requests, connections to the IPC$ share, share enumerations, and SMB connection setup processes. The use of anonymous connections to a Samba server involve the use of the /guest account/ that must map to a valid UNIX UID.

Hi,
I've got a few samba server in my network, but one of them is "invisible". I cannot do a nmblookup on it (even from the server itself), but I cannot telnet the port 137, thus it should not be a problem of firewall. From windows xp machines, I can connect specifying the IP address, while from win98 machines I cannot (I got an error like network name does not exist).
The following is the smb.conf file, I'm running samba 2.2.7:
global] os level = 33 time server = Yes unix extensions = Yes encrypt passwords = Yes log level = 5 syslog = 5 printing = CUPS printcap name = CUPS socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY wins support = No veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/ security = user workgroup = G2OR server string = "Mammuth" netbios name = "mammuth" [project] comment = "Cartella PROJECT/ufficio MK via SMB - Mammuth" path = /mnt/data/uff_mk/PROJECT browsable = yes writable = yes printable = no valid users = +ufficioMK +cam
I've tried with the remote announce and master browser options, but it still not works. Any idea?
