Hi All:
I have scoured the archives and done a Google search with
no answers. I set up Samba on Redhat 7.2 Samba 2.2.1a-4 on a
friends network. He is running 2 Windows 98 machines. They can't
browse network neighbourhood. Sometimes rebooting the machines
will fix it temporarily. Shutting down Samba allows the Windows
Machines to browse the network. So, I am pretty sure it is the culprit.
The Samba was installed from the Redhat RPM and is up2date.
The config file follows. **** = censored for security
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = ****
netbios name = ****
server string = **** Samba Server
interfaces = eth1 192.168.1.1/24
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
os level = 33
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
dns proxy = No
remote announce = 192.168.1.255

browseable = No
[printers]

printable = Yes
browseable = No

The Samba Shares work fine. It is just the network browsing that is
screwed up.
I have checked his network set up on the Windows Machines.
It is set up with an Ethernet card and TCP/IP. No Netbui or IPX/SPX or
anything silly. WINS Resolution is disabled, and I don't have Samba
set up as a WINS Server. It is my understanding that WINS is not
necessary for proper operation.
Can anybody point me in the right direction here? I have seen
the problem mentioned on the list, but I have not seen a solution.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Stu.......
