Got the same problem here with Samba 3.6.8.
If you address the the interface directly I get an answer from
nmblookup, if the request is done via broadcast I get none.

Please let me know if you find a solution to that problem.

Hi,

  here is a client computer and a server computer (Debian Wheezy, armel,
samba Version 3.6.6, IP address: 192.168.1.2, Name: xyz).

Problem: wins doesn't answer nmblookups by the client on the broadcast
address:

client$ nmblookup -S xyz
querying xyz on 192.168.1.255
name_query failed to find name xyz

Why is that so? How to fix this?


Hello, Rieker and Florian!

I was wondering what version of the linux kernel are you running?

I had a situation, where a bunch of Windows XP machines would not see their SAMBA server when looked up by Netbios name after I upgraded the linux kernel from 3.5.6 to 3.6.2. My solution was to revert back to the linux 3.5.x series, but now the 3.5.x series is officially dead [1].

If the SAMBA server was called by IP, a la "\\192.168.1.1\" - the windows PCs would see the SAMBA server without problem.

The setup I have is somewhat specific, though, as the SAMBA server has 3 NICs total, and routes traffic to the two subnets it feeds internet and SAMBA, among other services. The config file I use forces SAMBA to bind only to the 2 site local network interfaces, if that plays a role.

Because mine is a production setup, I couldn't play with it and look for where the problem is. So I just switched back to the known good kernel and called it a day.

My SAMBA version is 3.6.8.
