Hi, everybody:
Forgive me for bringing this to you. We normally use Samba servers but
are dealing with a situation involving two Windows 2003 servers and
browsing, and the truth is, I can't think of a better forum to bring
questions about browsing.
We have the following situation:
Domain co
Another strange problem:
A Windows 2000 client opens a file on a Samba share to which the logged
in user has access.
Files appear in the share window.
The files are, for example, Microsoft Word files with .doc extensions.
The system recognises them as such and the appropriate icon is displayed.

Okay, folks -- we've found the cause of the problem.
To recap: With our Samba server as the master browser, the domain window
in My Network Places is totally empty, irrespective of what client we
use (Windows 98, 2000, XP).
When Samba is not the master browser (i.e., another workstation is

Yes, that is true, however -- in our laboratory environment, the clients

Hello:
This browsing problem is not going away. We have followed the how-to,
used someone else's "known good" config, perused packet dumps until we
were blue, and tried replicating the setup in a laboratory environment
to see if it was site-specific.
The problem is still there:

No, it's not just you -- same problem here. I made two posts yesterday
that never made it.

Hi again, all:
I followed Adam's advice and investigated the transmission of broadcast
packets to the Samba PDC.
Using a packet injector, tcpdump and Ethereal, I was able to determine
that broadcasts are both going out onto the network and being received
at the PDC, in both UDP and TCP formats.

Hello:
I am operating a Samba server as the only domain controller in a network
consisting of 8 Windows 2000 clients and two Windows 98 clients. The
server is running as a virtual machine in Xen and connects to the
network over a bridged interface (I mention this because it may be
