No, it usually slows down to do broadcast resolution (since you basically have to wait for some timeout to decide that nobody has the requested address), that's why it's tried last by default.
So solution for you is to change the resolve order in smb.conf. The other solution is to set up /etc/hosts (or lmhosts), or a local DNS server that would resolve the local hosts before forwarding the request to your ISP DNS server. Last option is to push your ISP to not do "smart" name resolution (giving answers to non-existent hosts) in an effort to gain some extra advertisement revenue. -- cannot browse samba shares without editing smb.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/375593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
