I have since built a new file server which runs Ubuntu 14.04. All Samba
shares to it function normally. The problem is with Samba and WIndows
XP. I don't know if it affects all versions of Windows or just XP 32
bit that I was using. I now have the 2 Windows programs that I can't
get away from r
Public bug reported:
I am running a windows file server with several shared folders. I access them
from my Ubuntu machines on a gigabit ethernet local area network using nautilus
and save the ones I need as bookmarks. I also have text files on the server
that remain open so I can modify them
As the original poster of this thread, I thought I would add another 2
cents. I discovered my ISP (Cablevision in New York), offers the
ability to "opt out" of DNS redirection. This is not widely
disseminated knowledge and it is almost impossible to find unless you
know it exists.
I changed my s
Hi Chris;
Glad it worked.
If you look at my post #18 above, you will see that "name resolve order
= lmhosts wins bcast host" is the order that I recommended. Assuming
you also removed the leading semicolon(;) from the line, then, that is
probably what did the trick for you.
Changing the workgr
When trying to edit OS configuration files, you need to have root privileges.
The command to use in this case is:
gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
It will ask you for your password, just use the same password you use
when you log into Ubuntu.
For most help on these types of questions, you should
>KDE/smb4k also use broadcast and bypass settings from "name resolve order".
So you are saying that trying to browse a network with seperate LANs and AD
deployed using KDE would also be slower than trying to browse the same network
with Gnome?
If that is true, then given the current state of DN
Is there any way to detect that DNS redirection is taking place other
than the long delay in getting the gui to display? Or, you could just
use a time-out that after a certain amount of time or a failure to
detect the network correctly a suggestion pops up that DNS redirection
is/may be taking pla
What had stopped working was ping . ping
yahoo.com worked fine.
What I have as of now is:
1) DNS redirection is turned off
2) smb.conf set to: (name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast host)
3) nsswitch.conf set to: (hosts: files dns wins)
It took a restart to get everything to settle d
I found an interesting link here:

They edited both smb.conf ( name resolve order = lmhosts bcast wins host)
Notice this resolve order is different than the one I am using. They also
modified nsswitch.conf (hosts:files dns wins) to get name
Thank you for that link. There is an opt-out provided for DNS
redirection. I tried that and with the smb.conf set back to the
default, the network browse gui is now working. If i try a ping however, it returns a "host unknown" error. Pinging to the ip
address works as expected. So, there is s
The smb.conf resolve order change is one of the first things I have to
do on new installs, so that is a work around for me. The fact that it
returns the wrong ip address on a ping command is something that I am
interested in. I tried the same tests at my office in another town and
it behaves exac
One last thought. If the default resolve order is using DNS before
broadcast, doesn't that slow down local network browsing? Since this
may turn out to be an ISP problem on my end, wouldn't it make sense to
change the default resolve order so it looks at the local network before
trying DNS? Usin
ping upstairs does indeed try to resolve 67.63.55.3. This IP address is
nowhere in my network. "ping" does resolve it, but it takes about 23
ms. I have no idea why this should be. I have the exact same problem
on 2 different networks in 2 different towns using different brands of
routers. They
