Hello:
My name is Ruben and I am from Elche (Spain)
We are trying to setup a Samba server in our network.
Our server is Suse Linux 7.3 Professional, with this version of samba:

at:/ # smbd -V
Version 2.2.1a
at:/ # nmbd -V
Version 2.2.1a


I think that smbd is running OK becouse we can access to the server using its 
IP from the outside. But Server isn't answering when it listen a broadcast 
asking for its net bios name. (We have been monitoring it with tcpdump)

Here you have ethernet configuration:

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:4C:AB:0A:FB
          inet addr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:4cff:feab:afb/10 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:39324 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:50084 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:19 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:7863440 (7.4 Mb)  TX bytes:44810598 (42.7 Mb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe000


All the clients are using the same Broadcast and netmask.
- From the server we can use nmblookup with the other pc in the network, but it 
doesn't resolv its own name in the ethernet interface, but yes un loopback:

at:~ # nmblookup server
querying server on 192.168.0.255
name_query failed to find name server
at:~ # nmblookup server  -U 127.0.0.1
querying server on 127.0.0.1
192.168.0.1 server<00>
at:~ # nmblookup raquel
querying raquel on 192.168.0.255
192.168.0.2 raquel<00>
at:~ #

Here you have our global settings in smb.conf:

[global]
        workgroup = RED
        server string = Samba Server %u
        interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24
        security = SHARE
        keepalive = 30
        os level = 2
        kernel oplocks = No
        printing = lprng
        printcap name = /etc/printcap
        load printers = Yes
        NetBIOS name = Server
        local master = yes
        preferred master = yes
        dns proxy = no
        encrypt passwords = yes
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        printing = bsd
        printcap name = /etc/printcap
        load printers = yes
        log file = /var/log/samba/samba-log.%m

A lot of thank's and excuse my poor English ;-)
