I found it in the dhcp-options man page: option netbios-node-type uint8; The NetBIOS node type option allows NetBIOS over TCP/IP clients which are configurable to be configured as described in RFC 1001/1002. The value is specified as a single octet which identi- fies the client type. Possible node types are: 1B-node: Broadcast - no WINS 2P-node: Peer - WINS only 4M-node: Mixed - broadcast, then WINS 8H-node: Hybrid - WINS, then broadcast Do you know what the default value is?

[Samba] Re: Cross-subnet browsing...AGAIN!!!
OK, here's an update. I decided to take a more methodical approach to diagnosing this problem. I started by moving all computers onto the same subnet (192.168.1.x). I then shutdown all client PCs, restarted samba, and restarted the client PCs. I found that all PCs showed up and browsing worked perfectly, except for the PC named dude. This had the Computer Description set to 'Toshiba P20-102 17 widescreen laptop'. I changed this to: 'Toshiba1' and repeated the restart process and all PCs are now functioning perfectly on the HOME workgroup. (BTW, is this a known problem?) The next step will be to move tosh2 back onto the 192.168.4.x subnet and restart everything to see if it gets picked up. If not, I'll try the netbios-node-type option suggested by David. If I'm still stuck after that, I'll be back!

[Samba] Cross-subnet browsing...AGAIN!!!
Hi, I've been struggling with getting subnet browsing to work on my home network for some time and have decided to give it another go. This is my network configuration: Internet - Cisco SOHO97 (192.168.1.1) | | | ++ | ++ | | || | (192.168.1.5) (192.168.1.250) (192.168.1.249) | dudebatmobiletosh | (samba server) (XP client) (XP client) | (192.168.1.4) Linksys WRT54GS (192.168.4.1) | | (192.168.4.147) tosh2 (XP client) The Linksys router is routing between networks - no NAT is involved. I'm using the workgroup HOME and all XP clients are members of this workgroup. My smb.conf is as follows: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = HOME server string = Samba Server guest account = ftp log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 os level = 255 domain master = yes preferred master = yes local master = yes os level = 255 dns proxy = No wins support = Yes ldap ssl = no remote announce = 192.168.4.255/HOME 192.168.3.255/HOME remote browse sync = 192.168.4.255 192.168.3.255 cups options = raw name resolve order = wins,lmhosts,host,bcast hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 192.168.3. 192.168.4.

[Samba] Samba through a NAT router
Hi, My network topology is as follows: Netgear Linksys DG632WRT54G DSL Modem --- Switch --- WAP/Router | (NAT)| | | Samba server (dude) +-- Win2000 PC 192.168.4.101 (Mum) 192.168.1.5 | +-- WinXP PC 192.168.4.100 (Tosh) Dude is configured as follows: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = HOME server string = Samba Server guest account = ftp log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 os level = 255 domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes ldap ssl = no remote announce = 192.168.4.255 192.168.3.255 remote browse sync = 192.168.4.255 192.168.3.255 cups options = raw name resolve order = wins,lmhosts,host,bcast [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [music] comment = Music files used by slimserver path = /home/slimserver/music write list = robin read only = No [test] comment = Test share path = /home/test write list = robin read only = No If I connect the WinXP machine to the 192.168.1.x network I can connect to and use the shares on the samba server. However, when connected to the 192.168.4.x network I am unable to browse or connect to the shares. If I give the full domain name of the samba server (dude.robinbowes.com) I can see the shares, e.g.: C:\Documents and Settings\robinnet view \\dude.robinbowes.com Shared resources at \\dude.robinbowes.com Samba Server Share name Type Used as Comment --- homes Disk Home Directories music Disk Music files used by slimserver robin Disk Home Directories testDisk Test share The command completed successfully. Is there some way to enable browsing across the NAT-enable router?

RE: [Samba] Samba 3.0 and LDAP as a PDC
Sapan.Ganguly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I hope this is an easy one, I've read all the howtos but I'm still very hazy on how to do this. What I want to do is replace my NT4 PDC with a Samba 3.0 PDC with an LDAP backend. I've got my OpenLDAP up and running with the basic People, Computers and Groups ou's. I've put the builtin NT groups in too. I have Samba 3.0 functioning as a BDC The trouble is that the 'net rpc vampire' command isn't working for me, probably because I haven't defined the smbldap scripts right in smb.conf. I've put all the relavent bits in smbldap_conf.pm. If anyone has done this already please may I see a copy of your smb.conf? 'net rpc samdump' works, I guess the output from that could be used to populate the the LDAP, is there a script for that? I've also tried the smbldap-migrate-accounts.pl script, to import all the information from a pwdump of my PDC, this sort of worked but it only created posix accounts, is this right? Also pwdump.exe does not seem to dump groups so what are you supposed to use smbldap-migrate-groups.pl with? I think I might be able to work this out if I can just get a look at someone else's smb.conf. Sapan, I'm looking to do a similar thing, specifically, I want to create a PDC with all user information in LDAP. I am in a green field situation, ie. I have no exisiting PDC and I am working on a new, non-production server. I too would be interested in a How-To describing what steps are necessary to get this working, with any gotchas along the way. I'll write sometihng up describing how I get on...
