Yes I am Polish but I didn't have time yet to investigate the problem. Maybe it is language related... I can check it also (I have some non-polish xp's). I'll let you know.

Re: [Samba] Samba 3.5.8 - windows XP workstations disapear from browselist
Hi! Since there is no clean solution for this I wrote simple perl script. Simplified algorithm: 1. Load /etc/hosts 2. Use arping to check every ip from /etc/hosts (belonging to local network) for presence. 3. If there is an arp response check this host by issuing smbclient. 4. If there is an smb response (even error response from server) workstation gets added. Results are visible two way: 1. There is an directory in /tmp (tmpfs) where script creates or remove windows style links (lnk) to machines. Then this directory is shared by smb so windows clients can map it as windows drive. 2. Script replaces original browse.dat . It creates and remove workstation definitions from this file. It is both : very simple and VERY unclean. Thanks for everyone trying to help Me !

Re: [Samba] Samba 3.5.8 - windows XP workstations disapear from browselist
So it is impossible to solve this issue ? I don't have any other ideas except some kind of nasty workaround: Ill write perl script. It would periodically check every machine in /etc/ethers for presence and smb/nmb activity. Depending on that it will maintain directory with windows-style shortcuts pointing to active machines. I will share this directory throu samba and map them on workstations as drive L , L as list.

I run several Samba installations with no such issues with XP. So unless your XP installs are tweaked in some weird fashion I wouldn't suspect off-hand that they are the problem. I find it strange that they are in the browse list for a while and then disappear. No, this machines run Windows XP provided by their manufacturer (Dell, HP, Lenovo and others). They have automatic updates turned on. In your scenario these are the changes I would make: 1) running Samba as a DC, even though you aren't using it for centralized authentication (I suspect, but have no proof, that it's more likely to remain the LMB/DMB). You'll need to also add domain logons = yes to the settings in the previous post. Done. 2) eliminating the added hosts and lmhosts entries since you state you have adequate DNS support and are running a WINS server as well (this will eliminate any possible conflicts in that area). name resolve order = wins host bcast As You wrote below. Am I correct ? 3) make sure that your DHCP server (you seem to have enough systems that manual configuration would be undesirable) provides the proper information for NetBIOS and WINS. And fix the name resolve order in smb.conf (you have a typo - hosts instead of host). For example: testparm does not report this as error. Are You sure ? dhcpd.conf: option netbios-name-servers 192.168.7.1; option netbios-node-type 2; option netbios-scope ; In smb.conf: name resolve order = wins host bcast Done. 4) double-check that all systems are registering themselves with the WINS server (peek at wins.dat). Is it normal that workstation gets registered more than one time ?

I run several Samba installations with no such issues with XP. So unless your XP installs are tweaked in some weird fashion I wouldn't suspect off-hand that they are the problem. I find it strange that they are in the browse list for a while and then disappear. In your scenario these are the changes I would make: 1) running Samba as a DC, even though you aren't using it for centralized authentication (I suspect, but have no proof, that it's more likely to remain the LMB/DMB). You'll need to also add domain logons = yes to the settings in the previous post. 2) eliminating the added hosts and lmhosts entries since you state you have adequate DNS support and are running a WINS server as well (this will eliminate any possible conflicts in that area). 3) make sure that your DHCP server (you seem to have enough systems that manual configuration would be undesirable) provides the proper information for NetBIOS and WINS. And fix the name resolve order in smb.conf (you have a typo - hosts instead of host). For example: dhcpd.conf: option netbios-name-servers 192.168.7.1; option netbios-node-type 2; option netbios-scope ; In smb.conf: name resolve order = wins host bcast What netbios-node-type 2 does is set the systems to P-node, eliminating a lot of broadcast noise, but WINS must be operational. If P node doesn't work that tells you WINS isn't fully functional. Netbios-scope is basically unused today but I always unset it just to be sure. Eliminating the hosts and lmhosts entries mean that there is no need for lmhosts in the name resolve order. And with the order as I have it Samba will use WINS first (most desirable), DNS second, and then broadcasts (least desirable, and not very useful in P-node anyway). 4) double-check that all systems are registering themselves with the WINS server (peek at wins.dat). If the above doesn't ameliorate the problem it may at least assist in troubleshooting further.

[Samba] Samba 3.5.8 - windows XP workstations disapear from browselist
Hello! I have small network in my work. Workstations that connects to it runs various kind of OS. This includes: 1x Windows 95 (Brother Printer) 8x Windows XP =problematic! 2x Windows Visa 2x Windows 7 1x Samba 3.5.8 (WINS,DNS, supose to be LMB) There is a serious problem with a browselist. Ever single windows XP workstations disapear from browselist after an about 24 - 28 minutes after workstation powerup or smbd restart. After this they are still accesable by hostname, netbiosname, and ip. Other workstations are visible as they should be and don't disapear. First i thought it is an name resolution problem but i run correctly configured dns server. This server answers for both types of querry: straight (domain-ip) and reverse (address-ip).It is well tested. Also i've made /etc/hosts and /etc/samba/lmhosts files. They contains same ip=domain setup as named. Next thing was an firewall on my server (smbd and nmbd runs on it) but i found that it does not matter. Even turning off tcp_syncookies and rp_filter. Without success. I have found an article suggesting that windows xp firewall is to blame. I dont think it is a true, because workstations runs diffrent types of firewall. One of them use windows firewall but others use another firewalling sollution. Both of theese disapear from browselist in the same way. Complete disabling of XP workstation firewall does not solve problem. Every switch in my network was tested. I have excluded damaged one from topology. It was an device connecting 2 XP workstations (+uplink) on a edge of network. Still, no success with improving browselist stability. Also i have tried diffrent configurations of samba. No succes. Now i run following configuration: #= [global] #tested max protocol = NT1 syslog = 0 unix charset = UTF-8 dos charset = CP852 time server = yes #tested #smb ports = 139 name resolve order = wins bcast hosts lmhosts #tested #interfaces = eth0 192.168.7.1 lo 127.0.0.1 #tested #bind interfaces only = Yes #tested hosts allow = 192.168.7.0/24 127.0.0.1 #tested enhanced browsing = no keepalive = 30 loglevel = all:10 show add printer wizard = no socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=16384 SO_RCVBUF=16384 workgroup = ENELPC server string = Serwer netbios name = belphegor security = share load printers = no printcap name = /etc/printcap printing = cups guest account = nobody log file = /var/log/samba/samba.%m max log size = 1 #tested local master = yes #tested os level = 255 #tested domain master = no #tested preferred master = yes domain logons = no #tested wins support = yes wins proxy = no #tested dns proxy = no passdb backend = tdbsam #shares below #[...] #= Lines followed by #tested were changed to find sollution but with no success.
