I have a home network that is comprised of several XP machines (DHCP) a win7 machine (DHCP) and an Suse server ver 11.4 with a static IP (192.168.1.48).
I have been struggling off and on for quite a while to get shares to work between windows and linux and finally am starting to get close. I have samba set up followind Swerdna's tutorials
Code:
# Date: 2011-03-01
[global]
workgroup = kings
netbios name = fishserver
name resolve order = bcast hosts lmhosts wins
server string =""
passdb backend = tdbsam
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
cups options = raw
use client driver = Yes
map to guest = Bad User
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
usershare allow guests = Yes
usershare max shares = 100
usershare onwer only = False
[printers]
browseable = yes
path = /var/tmp
printable = yes
create mask = 0700
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
[linux drive]
comment = this is a share point
path = /home/samba
read only = No
guest ok = yes
[brother2140]
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
guest only = yes
and can see the linux share if I enter the linux machines IP address in the network places window for the windows machines. The linux box is set up with the same workgroup name as the windows machines but never shows up as one of the workgroup machines.
I recently tried some suggested console commands and found that the nmb broadcast address is being issued to 192.168.3.255 even though all ip addresses on my network are using 192.168.1.x addresses. I used the command nmblookup -f AMDHP where the machine AMDHP has an address of 192.168.1.x supplied via DHCP from my router. I think this is why the network neighborhood name of the linux machine is missing. Where is the broadcast address derived and how can I fix it? Any help is appreciated.
FYI - I can access the linux shares via IP address just fine.
Thanks,
Dan
