Folks,
I looked through the archives, but didn't see anything like this.
I have a network with a mix of Win95, Win98, and WinME clients (and one
Linux system w/ Samba server version 2.2.2).
All systems belong to a workgroup called "Oteima".
All Win95 and Win98 clients see all other systems (including the Linux
box) in one list.
However, a couple of systems (notably the WinME systems) see _two_ Oteima
workgroups.
Problem is, the Samba server, using nmblookup can find _all_ systems, but
using smbclient can only connect to the Windoze systems listed in one
Oteima workgroup, but get a connection failed when trying to connect to
systems in the other Oteima workgroup.
I very methodically checked using nmblookup and sbmclient whether I could
see/connect to every system.
[root@appgen root]# nmblookup caja
querying caja on 192.168.5.255
192.168.5.42 caja<00>
[root@appgen root]# smbclient //caja/c
added interface ip=192.168.5.50 bcast=192.168.5.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Connection to caja failed
if I could resolve _why_ some Win systems have _two_ Oteima workgoups (one
to which I can connect to _all_ listed systems and one to which I cannot
connect to any) I could resolve this dilemna.
I've tried: changing workgroup name (all lowercase, all uppercase, mixed
upper/lower case); encrypt passwds yes/no. Changing protocol mins and
maxs (from CORE to NT1). I'm running out of ideas.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
