I tried what you suggested and got:
command: nmblookup -A 192.168.0.103
Looking up status of 192.168.0.103
FSERVER <00> - B <ACTIVE>
FSERVER <03> - B <ACTIVE>
FSERVER <20> - B <ACTIVE>
..__MSBROWSE__. <01> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
ARTFULL-MIX <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
ARTFULL-MIX <1b> - B <ACTIVE>
ARTFULL-MIX <1d> - B <ACTIVE>
ARTFULL-MIX <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE>
I also got someone else that gave me a link to someone having a similar
problem. The link suggested I try the following:
testparm < /dev/null | grep -i netbios
which in turn, after verifying the smb.conf with: Loaded services file OK.
it also said: Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
So I thought, what if the demons aren't running. So I stated them with
nmbd -D and smbd -D.
And suddenly all is well.
I will now go in the corner and stay quiet and try not to bother the adults.
I feel very stupid and embarrassed.
Thank you for you help and I'll try to think before I ask any other
questions.
Regards,
Gtoo
