RE: [Samba] Slow browsing through Windows Explorer
Clint, I just tried to browse using: \\unreal\backup no luck, I get the same pause while it does something (building list of all the files) or whatever it's doing. thanks, -- Curtis Strite Director of Internet Services 7321 S.

RE: [Samba] Slow browsing through Windows Explorer
Are you running any other services on your network? Lets say, Netware. I have found a similar issue pointing at the Netware client.

RE: [Samba] Slow browsing through Windows Explorer
-Original Message- Clint, We may have different problems. You were doing this w/o the folders bar in Windows Explorer right? Not sure what you mean here. I'm just in explore mode of Windows Explorer. In windows explorer, under View-Explorer Bar-Folders, is this checked? If so, uncheck it and go to the server via \\servername\share again and see if takes a long time still. This will tell you if it's a browsing related issue, as with the folders explorer bar open, it's attempting to build a browse list for the workgroup. Also, these machines are in a workgroup setting? Is your machine on a domain or in the same workgroup? I'm on a domain, I have another box RedHat (LINK) that is my PDC. Which is working when the XP Client logs in, it has a netlogon share which maps the H: and the Y: drives to Morpheus and Unreal respectivly. Have you done an nmblookup -M -- - or findsmb to determine which machine is your master browser? No, I think this is a good place to start. I did restart Samba on Morpheus and bumped up the log level to 2 and now I'm getting this. [2003/12/29 15:27:44, 2] nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_timeout_response(199) register_name_timeout_response: WINS server at address 10.11.86.17 is not responding. 10.11.86.17 is LINK which is my PDC that I've also told to be a wins server in the smb.conf file. Make sure on the machine you think is your WINS Server you set wins support = yes instead of wins server = yes, as the wins server is the parameter for telling a machine which IP to query for WINS. I have a feeling this is setup wrong which is why you're having a problem browsing and thus it's slow in Windows. Clint This sounds like a browsing related issue, and you have to have a reachable master browser for the workgroup/domain of the machine you're attempting to connect to so that Windows can pull the browse list, otherwise it'll take forever before timing out. Maybe someone else here has more experience at this than I do, but that's what it seems like to me.
