Hi all,

I'm having a small problem with browsing. I've got a network full of Windows (2000 and XP) machines and I've installed a Samba server in it. The server is configured to be Domain Master Browser (DMB), Local Master Browser (LMB) and WINS server for a workgroup. The Win machines are configured to use the WINS server. Name resolution works perfectly, but browsing doesn't. When I try to browse the workgroup, only the Samba server itself shows up in the browse list. None of the Win hosts are there. I've checked the browse.dat file in /var/cache/samba, and it only contains the Samba server and the workgroup.

More info (smb.conf, log.nmbd, browse.dat) below.

Any ideas ? Thanks in advance,

Steven



Samba version is 3.0.21b.
