RE: samba working, but can't see computer in "my network places"
Just set up samba to be a wins server. In the smb.conf file you have the option "wins support =". Set it to yes and then go into Ethernet properties on the win9x and set them to use a wins server and list the linux box IP as the wins server IP. This should solve any master browser issues as long as the linux box is running in tandem with the others. After implementing this I have never had network neighborhood issues. Make sure you restart samba after the change in smb.conf and restart the M$ boxes. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.

RE: samba working, but can't see computer in "my network places"
I agree that looking at the browsing would be a good place. Sorry if this was already covered, but did you make sure that Browsing is enabled in your smb.conf file? "John Nichel" has a good point. Wiping out Windows and installing Linux generally fixes most problems. -John -Original Message- From: Bret Hughes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 10:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: samba working, but can't see computer in "my network places" On Mon, 2003-02-03 at 13:49, John Nichel wrote: > Strange.

Well, as much as I'd love to do that, the 300+ users on those windows machines probably wouldn't like that too much. ;) Jody -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: samba working, but can't see computer in "my network places"
I was having the same problem as you. I set up my Linux michine to be a wins server then I set up my win98 michine as a wins client. After I did that, I stopped my Linux IPchains by typing service ipchains stop. After that you should be able to at least see it in NN. Try it and see if it will work. - Original Message - From: "Jody Cleveland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 03, 2003 2:06 PM Subject: samba working, but can't see computer in "my network places" > > Does your Linux box show up in your Windows Network Neighborhood (are > > they still calling it that?)? > > No, that's the problem, it's not showing up.

Re: samba working, but can't see computer in "my network places"
Strange. Ah-well, when all else fails, wipe Windows and install Linux. But if you don't want to go that far, you could try restarting Windows. :) Jody Cleveland wrote: In your samba configuration file...you're using webmin, rightclick on Windows Networking in the samba module, and make sure that the workgroup is set to the same as your Windows workgroup name. You might also want to check the netmask of your Linux box, and make sure it matches up with your Windows network. Yup, those were both right...

Re: samba working, but can't see computer in "my network places"
Jody this may be very silly but did you restart the win2000 machine? (Win95 doesn't appear to refresh its network thingies unless you reboot so 2000 might be the same.) Also try http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/ for a troubleshooting guide on Samba that I used to get my stuff working.

In your samba configuration file...you're using webmin, rightclick on Windows Networking in the samba module, and make sure that the workgroup is set to the same as your Windows workgroup name. You might also want to check the netmask of your Linux box, and make sure it matches up with your Windows network.
