Hi again, all: I followed Adam's advice and investigated the transmission of broadcast packets to the Samba PDC.
Using a packet injector, tcpdump and Ethereal, I was able to determine that broadcasts are both going out onto the network and being received at the PDC, in both UDP and TCP formats. Again, using this configuration [global] domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 65 No workstations are able to browse the network. I should qualify this -- opening Network Neighborhood produces no errors, but no hosts appear in the window. We tried configuring the Samba PDC to use WINS, turned off all the workstations on the network but two, and configured one of the workstations to point to the WINS server at the Samba PDC's IP address. Again, an empty Network Neighborhood window. And yet -- the wins.dat file is populated with hosts, as is the browse.dat. Still -- nobody can browse. We're extremely puzzled by this and at a loss how to proceed... any ideas? -Stephen- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
