Hi,
I've got a browsing problem, I'm searching the error for a long time now
so I think betimes it's a bug ;-)
For debugging purposes, I've left away everything in the network that's
not necessary. There's now only one XP-Prof workstation (domain member)
and one samba server (3.0.22, acting as PDC) anymore.
Bind9 is the local DNS server; Forward and PTR entries are working. The
DNS domain is the same as the NT.
The problem is: Everything works (domain logons, searching the computer
with the windows search feature, accessing with \\server, ...) EXCEPT
the network neighbourhood. It is empty and there is no PC in it. There
is no error and there is no delay while searching.
Here is a copy of my smb.conf:

As you can see, I've configured samba as WINS-server.
Clients configuration is assigned by DHCP with:
option netbios-node-type 8;
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.200.121;
I've tried almost everything I could but I'm unable to find the error.
The first strange thing is (on the server itself):
$ smbclient -L server -U %

As you can see, there is NO (!) server or workgroup although WINS, DNS
etc etc is properly configured.

As you can see, "0 servers" and "0 domains" in domain. This can't be
correct.
In the log files, there is really nothing that looks like an error
message, but if you want to have logs, I really like to send them.
I even tried to analyze traffic with Ethereal, there were lots of
NetServerEnum2 Requests for domain INTRA.COMPANY.NET but in the
responses there was always a "Entry count:0" and "Available entries: 0".
Can you help me?
Or is this really a bug?
Thank you very much!
Best Regards,
desperate Niki

try mv wins.dat wins-bak.dat
and then restarting samba and see if that helps
wins.dat is usually located /var/lib/samba or /var/cache/samba (the
latter being Red Hat/Fedora inclined)
I've already tried deleting wins.dat and restarting the server and it
did not help.
I even compiled a fresh vanilla package from samba.org and installed it
to /samba. I started it with the smb.conf as seen above. The one file I
took from the old installation was passdb.tdb. Even that did not work!
