Re: [Samba] Xp-pc's disappear in Network Neighborhood
This sounds like it might be a "browser master server" war. Anyone else agree / disagree. In a Microsoft network using WINS, any computer starting on the network requests (yells on the network) for who is the "Browse Master Server." If no "Browse Master" responds within a timout period, then that computer (could be an Server O.S. or Even Client O.S.) broadcasts that it is the "Browse Master" and takes over / answers any other computers requesting the address for the "Browse Master." What we've done is via login scripts / or domain MS AD policy, is to disable (a registry edit) all clients from becoming a "Browse Master Server." Then allow a single server in every designated subnet (xxx.xxx.xxx.0 through xxx.xxx.xxx.254) to be the "Browse Master." I might be way off with this idea since I'm not a SAMBA guru. Just my 2 cents.

Window Xp machines show up in Network neighborhood when they are started but after some time (20 minutes or more) they disappear. I can find them with search computer. Mapped network drives still work. They reappear if I restart the pc They reappear if I restart Samba Its only a small home network so I do not log in to a domain. Whats going on?

[Samba] Samba member server not seen in network neighborhood
Hello All, Samba 2.2.5 / AIX 5.1 - NO ERRORS in any logs Can map shares and even correct authentication / user ID mappings work from all WIN2K domain clients using a URL or share mapping utilities. Samba member is not populated / seen in Network Neighborhood but "nmblookup -M -" ,querying MSBROWSE fails with "failed to find name __MSBROWSE__#01 and if I try to query with nmblookup the Samba server Name / IP address it also fails to find either. Any suggestions on what further steps will point to a problem and ultimately a solution. The only thing I can think of is to disjoin the domain and rejoin with "smbpasswd -j DOMAIN . . ."

[Samba] UNIX Server Not Seen In Network Nieghborhood
AIX 5.1 / Samba 2.2.5 / Active Directory DNS & WINS servers The Samba server is only a client and is not configured to be a WINS / DNS / PASSWORD server to PCs. It passes all these requests to W2K AD. Problem: The Samba server cannot be seen in Network Neighborhood / My Network Places when browsing. Debug: Samba server has a valid name / IP address entry(s) in DNS and WINS. Can get to shares by using the "Net command(s) (i.e. net view \\sambaserver, net use x: \\sambaserver\sharename) from the PC command line This is a new installation - tried mirroring settings from an OLD AIX 4.3 / Samba 2.2.3 environment. Suggestions on what to look at in problem determination and the resolution would be appreciated.
