[Bug 206585] Re: cannot browse windows shares via gvfs-smb

2009-12-19 Thread Mark Ellse
Recent experience with the network leads me to believe that this is, at least 
in part, a Windows Browser-Master problem. 
Windows is known to have trouble (some say it's broken) with browsing 
peer-to-peer networks. One computer in the network takes the role of being a 
browser master. There is a defined hierarchy of who does it - generally the 
machine that is on longest but has the more recent operating system. The 
browser-master is the machine that stores a list of host names and their ip 
addresses, enabling browsing of the network. I think that Linux machines on a 
Windows network rely on the Browser-Master for browsing.

Setting up a Windows computer as a broswser-master is inaccurately and
incompletely documented and supported by Microsoft, who really you to
have a Windows server. My experience that the process of a browser
election can be completely confused if other machines are on the
network, leading to unreliable browsing with both Windows and Linux. In
particular it may be that a non-Windows DHCP server inhibits Windows
machines from being browser-masters.

Browsing problems on our network seem to have disappeared since we've
installed an SME server (www.contribs.org) AS A DOMAIN/WORKGROUP
CONTROLLER. This has resolved our browsing problems.

Thanks for the answer!
i've tried with smbclient:
smbclient widows_server\\users password
Domain=[DOMAIN] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows 
Server 2003 5.2]
smb: \ ls
client_check_incoming_message: received message with mid 9 with no matching 
send record.
SMB Signature verification failed on incoming packet!
Server packet had invalid SMB signature! listing \*
Error in dskattr: Server packet had invalid SMB signature!
smb: \ 
so it means problem with samba?
widows_server is main AD controller
ps.1 yes, the share is users
ps.2 on previous ubuntu this worked like a harm
regards!

thank you for your bug report, does browsing it using smbclient from a
command line works correctly? is the share listed in the network
location?
