E3000 Share/Master Browser issue

How do I turn off the network share on my E3000?
What is hapening is this:
My Windows XP Computer and my WD TV Live can not see network computers and their shares (The E3000 is seen on the network only). When I attempt to browse the workgroup in Windows XP I get 'error 53'.
It turns out that the E3000 is becoming the master browser when ever the computers on the network are shut off for a short period of time. The E3000 does not do a very good job of being the master browser.
As a work around, I put the E3000 workroup to something different than all the other workgroup computers.
There is no question that the issue is with the E3000. When I make a computer on the network master browser, the XP computer and the WD Live work fine. I prove this by running nbtstat -a <netbios name>.
This does need to be fixed in the E3000 firmware. I already upgraded to the latest (1.0.03)
Anyone have any suggestions on how to escelate this issue?

Hi,
I had exactly the same problem after replacing my 3COM router to E3000.
I solved the problem by logging to the the web interface of the E3000 -> Storage -> Administration -> changing the group name from "Workgroup" to "WORKGROUP"
I have in my network 1 XP SP3 machine and 3 Widnwos 7 machines.
In the Win XP machine I was not able to browse the list of the machines but I was able to to browse the machince after entering the name in the address bar (i.e \\Tony-PC)
In the Win 7 machines I was not able to see only the Win XP machnice but entering the address was fine.
Changing the workgroup name from "Workgroup" to "WORKGROUP" in the E3000 as I mentioned solved the problem (even without any restarts and/or resets)
I spent almost 5 hours and I got crazy because of that silly thing.
I hope that this will help other people

Master Browser Issue (OS Level = 65)

All -
So we're running a Windows Server 2003 R2 Active Directory, with a single Mac file server bound to AD (so that we can share out some files via AFP to a small set of Mac workstations). For some reason, the Mac server keeps insisting on forcing itself as the Master Browser on the domain.
I know the "fix" of editing SMB.conf is posted all over the 'net. I've tried editing both /etc/smb.conf and /var/db/smb.conf - but nothing seems to work. Anytime I restart the SMB service (serveradmin stop/start smb), the /var/db/smb.conf file is modified or overwritten to include "os level = 65". And sure enough, any election results in the Mac server winning.
Any thoughts on how I can stop this from happening?
Thanks,
--Noel

Ah yes, welcome to "Browser Wars".
If you think it's fun with the mac you should see what Win95 will do to you.
Open SA, go to the SMB service and to the advanced tab (I presume you have the SMB service turned on). There you will see two services listed, and possibly checked: "Workgroup Master Browser" and "Domain Master Browser". If you don't want any browsing services then make sure that the WINS registration is turned off and you should be able to clear the two browser buttons, otherwise, make sure that you have entered your 2k3 server as the Wins server in "Register with" and then turn off the Domain Master.
The problem is that every windows box, regardless of whether it is a server or not, is a browser. This is because all windows boxes must support peer-to-peer and to do so they have to keep a local copy of the surrounding 24 box names. Because of this you can end up with "notwork neighborhood" syndrome where the network neighborhood listing is incomplete because the box you are on has pulled it's listing from something other than a server (where you get your copy from is totally dependent on the latency between the box and the server. It's a first one to answer situation). There is nothing wrong with the Mac being the master browser, as long as network neighborhood accurately reflects your full domain.
Under WinNT server there were additional tools that showed you the master browser election fights, but I don't believe they exist anymore. They were fun to watch, and eye opening. You should see what happens when a Win9x laptop wins.

Windows Shares Not Showing Up In Finder (Master Browser Problem)

Hi, on leopard I had no problems with Windows shares showing up in finder. However, having upgraded to Snow Leopard, I've now lost that ability.
Before I had my Leopard computer set as the master browser. I did this by specifying domain master = yes and preferred master = yes in my smb.conf. However despite importing these settings into Snow Leopard's smb.conf, it is not acting as a master browser.
When I run the command "nmblookup -M -- -" which in Leopard returned my Mac as the master browser, now it says "failed to find name _MSBROWSE_#01".
I'm sure this is why the Windows PC is not showing up in finder, but I don't know why the smb-conf isn't taking effect in Snow Leopard, and setting it as the master browser?
Also, I can use Go -> Connect to access my Windows shares, and Mac shares show up in Vista okay.
Any help appreciated.

Problem fixed upon updating to 10.6.2.

Non Domain Computers Becoming Master Browser

Hello,
I am troubleshooting an issue with the master browser service when an external user connects his workgroup laptop to our domain network and wins the election.
The network consists of a domain controller which has the following registry settings
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\IsDomainMaster = True
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters\MaintainServerList = Yes
All the client computers that are connected to the domain have IsDomainMaster = False and MaintainServerList = No.
When an external user connects to the network with a laptop that isn't part of the domain it causes a master browser election and wins. All the servers and client computers list only media devices instead of all the computers and servers on the network.
Is there a way to prevent non domain computers from becoming the master browser without changing registry settings on that computer?
Thanks
Jon

Can't Turn Off Workgroup Master Browser

I'm probably missing something but I've got a 10.6.1 server that is setup with a Magic Triangle and I was trying to setup a share for someone to access and I cannot setup SMB without the Workgroup Master Browser being checked and I really don't want the machine to be a Master Browser of any kind. If I remove the checkmark and click Save, the checkmark returns. If I set it to be a Domain Master Browser (don't really want this either) and remove the Workgroup check and hit Save, back it come again. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong here?

Yes I do understand. As I stated previously, I edited the /etc/smb.conf. That did not work. I also edited /var/db/smb.conf. That works for a short while, but then the setting is turned back on. Here is my /etc/smb.conf:

Is there some other step that needs to take place to get this to work? What do you mean "make testparm"

Server keeps becoming master browser

Our only mac server is bound to our active directory domain as a member, and samba config file is set so that os level = 2, and master browser set to 'no'. However, each time the machine is restarted, it initiates an election with our dc's and wins. Any thoughts on why this would be occurring?
Thanks

I have similar issue. My Mac server is becoming Master Browser again & again. However i have checked SMB.CONF file is correct, os level = 2 & domain master = no.

Using a Mac, Firefox does not allow me to use the vertical scroll bar real-time in Godaddy webmail. It lags and jumps. Godaddy says it is a browser issue. Does not happen in Safari with Mac OS 10.4.11 or on PC w/windows vista.

The problem is not my server (Comcast) as it does not happen on Safari when trying different websites as well as Godaddy.com or my Godaddy webmail. The problem is only when using my Mac OS X 10.4.11 (not my Windows Vista PC) in Firefox. I only began noticing this recently. Godaddy says this is a browser issue with my Mac as they cannot replicate it.

Master data Issue --- materials have unassigned or # values ...!!

Hello Experts,
I am facing an issue that the Customer Data is missing in a BEx Report.
Data Flow is 2LIS_13_VDITM --> DSO1 --> Merging DSO --> Cube --> Multiprovider --> Bex Report.
Exact issue is Customers in the Bex Report has unassigned to Sales Office, Sales Group, Sales District.
The only reason a customer should show up under u201Cunassignedu201D or u201C#u201D is if itu2019s improperly set up in the system.
customers are assigned with two values. one which has data and the other which has unassigned value.
I wanted to know, how do i check if the matierials are valid to have unassigned Values ?
Checked the Merging DSO and saw that there are actually values assigned values for the affected matierials.
After that checked the Cube data values are displayed except the Master Data values.
I guess..its completely related to Master data. I would like to know how can i resolve this issue.
Please reply me if you face this kind of master data issue in your expeiriance.
Thanks,
SN.

Hi,
Are Sales Office, Sales Group, Sales District are attributes of Customer?
In case they are, then the customers will be unassigned to Sales Office, Sales Group, Sales District in case the data for these attributes is loaded to the customer attributes.
and also check if the customer characteristic is properly assigned in the multiprovider.
Check if it helps.

Joe

Nokia 500 and Belle Refresh: browser issues.

Greetings.
The Belle Refresh was indeed a welcome refresh for this low-to-midrange phone. However, there is a serious issue with the browser.
With the update to Qt 4.8, you inherited QtWebKit, an amazing browser I know very well. In a desktop, it's fast, although it eats more memory than Firefox. However, in a cell phone like the 500, with limited amounts of RAM, this browser freezes the phone, due to the lack of memory. I'm also sure this browser can and will break phones with more memory and Belle FPx, since I've made QtWebKit use more than 1 GB of RAM in a computer running KDE.
There is a way to avoid this, called "user agent". Opera Mobile avoids this scenario by telling pages through user agent "hey, don't be hard on me, I'm browsing this from a cell phone", and pages adjust themselves to that scenario. However, you didn't tweak the user agent in your browser.
If you add no user agent tweaking, full HTML5 support, Flash Lite support (the much higher specced iPhone 4S doesn't support Flash), and low memory, you get a nightmare scenario.
1. The webpages send their complete, full featured DESKTOP versions to my Nokia 500.
2. QtWebKit supports everything, so, it makes a faithful attempt to properly render the page, even with Flash apps.
3. Nokia 500 has only 70-80 MB of RAM free for apps to use.
4. Boom.
Can you release a hotfix for Belle Refresh, changing the user agent of Nokia Browser to something that can trigger the mobile version of web pages? In that scenario, QtWebKit will eat much less memory and everyone will be happy. And please, can you do this for everyone using Belle Refresh?

I can confirm serious browser issues with the Belle refresh on a C6-01 device. The crash is so severe that only taking out the battery helps. It typically occurs when scrolling larger, feature-rich (and image-rich) webpages, so far I've seen this only on mobile connections (Edge, Umts), but that may be due to lack of testing with WLAN. (Where I've got WLAN I've usually a more powerful device as well..

IWeb pages reverting to older version- not a browser issue, deleting prefs/caches no help

Hi everyone, forgive me if this is a newb question but I've scoured the internet for answers and all of them I've already tried with no luck. I'm using iWeb and encountering a problem that has me completely stumped. I'm trying to publish changes to my site, (I do not use mobileme, I publish to disk and upload files via Fetch) and for some reason something is changing my html files when I try to upload them. The html files are correct on my hard drive when I publish them, and yet when I upload them, they revert to the older version. This is not a browser issue, as I've cleared my cache, refreshed and tried using Safari, Firefox and Chrome with no luck. I've also tried 're-setting' iWeb by deleting iWeb preferences/cache, and tried moving the domain file from application support, creating a new website, deleting it and then re-loading the old site. Nothing, still the old site. It's new in iWeb, new when I open the html files on my drive, and old as soon as I upload.
I seem to remember having this problem before, and what I found was iWeb's cache kept replacing my new pages with the old ones every time I wanted to upload them. 'Re-setting' iWeb did the trick then, but it's not doing it now. Any ideas on what is going on? It's a little disconcerting seeing a file correct on the disk and then change itself, while uploading, into an incorrect version.
Using:
iWeb 3.0.3
Mac OS 10.6.7
Mac Pro 2.66 Dual core

If you make changes to a page there are files in the Scripts folder that get updated and must be uploaded also. Depending on what you're using to up load the files it can be setup to upload just those new or modified files.
Cyberduck is a free FTP client that works very well and if used in conjunction with this tutorial will upload only those new or modified files: #2 - Uploading only those new or newly edited and published files when using a 3rd party FTP client

EA4500: poor performance as Master Browser - how to disable or make it work?

I have EA4500 acting as a router on domainless all-Windows network of two XP machines.
Unfortunately, EA4500 aggressively grabs the role of the Master Browser (I am talking about Computer Browser Service) on the network (regardless in which order you power the devices up) and then doesn't serve as a working Master Browser - both Windows machines stop listing the network computers in the "Network Neighborhood" and incur massive timeouts when attempting to view the listing.
A quick look with 'browstat.exe status' reveals that indeed the router has announced itself as a Master Browser device, but returns errors when you query it.
Quite predictably, without the router, both machinces figure out amongst each other who will be the Master Browser and everything works fine. The problems begin only when you add the router to the network.
Hence the questions:
1) Is there any way to make EA4500 work like a full-blown Master Browser (the one that not only announces itself, but also serves as such)? That would be really nice, as having a Master Browser integrated in "always-on" router would really improve the predictability of the network.
2) If not, is there any way to disable the Master Browser on EA4500? For now I managed to achieve that by assigning the router to different workgroup name, but this is lame, as I now can't connect a disk storage to the router and use it within the same workgroup.

I have the same problem.
I also tried bridge mode, but this case all functions are disabled, so the smart part is useless.... and still samba is running and messing up the whole network.
I checked the firmware, seems SSH included in the kernel, is it possible to ssh into the EA4500 and modificate the samba config file????

Upgrade to ECC6 & Unicode: IE Web Browser Issues?

Has anyone experienced web browser issues at display time? We are on IE7. We are now using the internal ITS. Our carriage returns are totally being ignored by the browser. Thus, we have a dropdown box to pick one of the businesses multiple partners, and because the HTML is not formatted correctly in the browser, the dropdown doesn't work, and we get an "array not created" error messsage in IE7.
I know that there are options in the IE 7 browser under the menu item "view". I've tried changing these to some different Unicode settings, but without luck.
Has anybody some experience with this issue?
Thank-You

Hi Tim,
this might be problem with Support package, by default Sap neweaver 2004s application comes with SP6, u can upgrade to higher SP to solve these type of problems.patch your system up to SP12 or SP13 and try.

My server trying to be domain master browser on another network

On our small network we have a snow leopard server (xserve).
It's a private 192 network using smb to let windows play along.
Lately in the logs the server is trying to the smb domain master browser for what seems to be a foreign private 10 network.
The smb.conf file looks pretty normal although I'm the smb guru I should be.
Does this sound bad?

What's the history of this Xserve configuration, of any SAN-based storage, and of this network?
Whether or not you expect to have a 10-network, you obviously have a 10-network around. (Quite possibly two 10-network subnets, based on the two addresses shown.)
Use a managed switch or network monitor or a brute-force ARP and multicast ping to see what's going on with the networks. Assuming all three networks are /24, the following hackery will probe the network for active IP addresses:
ping -c4 192.168.1.255
arp -a
ping -c4 10.211.55.255
arp -a
ping -c4 10.37.129.255
arp -a
The Bonjour Browser tool is another GUI-based tool that can explore your network.
In general, I would not expect an Xserve box to be using a .local top-level domain as its primary DNS host name; that's not usually known for its reliability.
Intel Xserve boxes can have a second network address around for the LOM, but that setting does not usually show up on the OS X displays other than Server Monitor. So that's probably not the case, here. (Well, you may have LOM addresses, but the Xserve LOM is incompatible with link aggregation.)
Do you have a Fibre Channel SAN around? If so, that tends to have a private management network.

Having migration trouble: master/slave issue in G4

I just got a 24-inch imac and began the migration process yesterday. And if it were 2005 I'd be in great shape. The new iMac saw only my ORIGINAL 20 GB drive (in two partitions, one for OS9 and one for OSX) and I, not realizing it didn't see the drive i installed in January 2005 and which is now my main drive, had it migrate the stuff from that drive. (I thought it was taking everything.) Obviously, then I had only the stuff from the old drive. Worse, the imac never could see the newer drive. I posted something on a different forum, and people immediatley responded it was a master/slave issue. I've now spent HOURS since last night rearranging drives and jumpers (one is the original Apple drive, from Western Digital, and the second is a Seagate 120 GB drive). The G4 either wouldn't turn on at all, or I just got a gray screen. We put everything back to the way it was, and at least now I have a computer.
However, I still have the migration issue. The original drive (according to the profile) is listed first, so is the master. How can I do the migration. I really don't want to reinstall everything.
Two options that I see: clone the Seagate to an external, and migrate from there. Or: put the Seagate into an external enclosure and again, clone from there.
Are there other options out there?
BY the way, we had massive troubles with the jumpers. It never worked to have the jumper on the seagate -- the only way this computer started is with the jumper NOT on 7/8 and on the Apple (original) drive.
Thanks in advance.

Aside from the issues you are having with the HDs, you also need to be very careful with what you migrate from a PowerPC to an Intel, or you may end up with conflicts which make the Intel inoperable. May I suggest Kappy's guide;
