Problems Browsing

[Dan Pupek]

I have Samba 2.07 on Mandrake 7.2 distro. I am proxying a DSL connection
successfully over Squid. I do not have ipchains running but with all the BS
Mandrake like to pack on it's hard to tell what it's scripts all do. All the
tests with the smbclient on the samba machine work fine. Also all the test
with nmblookup. I have a clean Ping from both ends. When I use smbclient to
view my Win98 machine I can see the shares but it reports no Master or
Workgroup. I can connect to a share on the Win98 box but if I try to browse
or any other operation it gives me protocol error. From the Win98 box I can
do nothing in explorer (browse, mount, etc) from dos I can use net view and
net use. Once I mount a network drive via net use I can browse it but not
reliably. I haven't been able to retreive anything either.
If I try to use nmblookup to see the win98 client it finds it but reports
not being able to determine its netmask.

Here is my smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost (127.0.0.1)

Here is a sample of the kind of error I recieve in log.smb:

I cannot see any errors in the log.nmb file

Thanks for any help. Many people have raved about samba but so far it has
been no fun for me.
