Hi.
I'm having a wee problem with Samba. It's configured to be the Netbios Master Browser for my home network. It's working perfectly ..... except that the browse list only contains a single machine - the Samba machine. I can get to any other machine using it's netbios name - \\megans - and everything works fine.
Hi Shane, Try turning on "wins proxy = yes" in smb.conf You shouldn't need it, but I have seen issues where client machines announce themselves to the master, but it does not re-announce them.
From the man page for smb.conf:
wins proxy (G) This is a boolean that controls if nmbd(8) will respond to broadcast name queries on behalf of other hosts. You may need to set this to yes for some older clients. Default: wins proxy = no Hope that helps. -- Greig McGill
