I installed Samba on a new machine... and it works quite good... But some (not all) of the windows client do not see it by name (but it is reachable by IP adress). On the machine which can see it, it is quite slow, when I access it by name (around 10 sec) to refresh the directory... any idea of a way to troubleshoot this problem ?
Read the samba readme file or the SMB-HOWTO and dissable encrypted passwords on the server AND the Windows clients. The problem is a Windows things and also happens on Windows only networks...if encrypted passwords are both turned off, turn them on...I may be backwards
??? huh ??? how could you turn off password encryption on the windows client ??? I never heard about such a possibility ? According to my knowledge of windows, this not an option...
