Hm... Actually, I checked back later and Samba has shown up in Network
Neighborhood>Entire Network>WORKGROUP. Must be some timing thing. I am using
host-only networking - I'm an early enough adopter that I was all set up and
configured before bridged networking was made to work. I am running
4.1-STABLE of 31 July.
I would be curious to hear if anyone who is doing bridged networking has Samba
working. I'm having some minor fits with host-only networking because I'm on
a "real" Windows LAN, and the netbios-ns broadcasts (to a /25 broadcast
address) give natd indigestion:
Aug 23 11:01:28 zorba natd[14328]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)
These messages are caused by
Aug 23 15:07:45 zorba natd[39335]: denied [UDP] w.x.y.z:137 -> w.x.y.127:137
(if I use -deny_incoming and -log_deny)
packets that get sent to natd and then natd tries to reinject them
(somewhere). I don't know if it's a broadcast address interaction, for some
strange reason my (DHCP-configured) ethernet interface has a proper netmask
(0xffffffc0) but a .255 broadcast address. I do know that 'tcpdump ... ip
broadcast' doesn't see these, but 'tcpdump ... ether broadcast' does.
Anyhow, the point of this rant is that I'd probably be just as happy to use
bridged networking if it will be "cleaner" than natd. Especially since the
-deny_incoming option kills inbound connections (e.g. active-mode CVSup)...
Gah. Computers.
