Howdy Super Samba Subscribers!
I'm looking for a little advice on trouble-shooting our network. We have several large unix partitions that are shared via samba and act as our central file stores. Most of our development machines are Linux or Unix systems. Some of our business people use mixed flavors of Windows. Mostly Windows XP however we have a few older Windows OSs as well.
We have had few problems for the past five or six months. However last week something strange happen. One Windows XP system, 2 Windows 98 systems, and a Mac OS X system decided that they can no longer view the network. They don't see each other or other systems. They also don't see the samba partitions. Most all of the other Windows XP systems are still fine. The Mac OS X system can still mount specific samba shares, but can't browse to see that they are available.
The only thing I know of that changed around the time of the problems, was the addition of a new Windows XP system to the network. Nothing seemed weird about its setup and configuration, and it has no problems with the current networking.
Obviously I can't expect anyone on this list to know exactly what my problem is, but I was hoping to get some advice on how to troubleshoot this situation. How should I go about attempting to diagnose the problem??
