<DIV>Are all the computers that you want to reach are all in the same broadcast network? </DIV>
<DIV>Are there any routers or firewalls setup between them?</DIV>
<DIV>The fact that you cannot ping them by name may only be a name resolution problem, can you ping them by IP?</DIV>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000">I am having problems printing to printers attached to windows computers <BR>on the network.<BR><BR>Behind this problem seems to be some SMB inconsistencies.<BR>When I go to Nautilus or Konqueror I can correctly browse all the <BR>computers and shares in the workgroup.<BR>But when I type findsmb from the command line I can only see k12ltsp, <BR>office and one teacher's laptop is shown 4 times.<BR>It shows twice for each ip address (wireless and wired). My laptop is <BR>not shown and one other teachers laptop is not shown although they show <BR>fine in nautilus.<BR>When I go to set up a printer using printconfig-gui I try to browse for <BR>my laptop but it is not shown. Only the ones shown by findsmb are <BR>listed. I tried entering the share info directly by that didn't work either.<BR>I can ping my computer because I have listed it in etc/hosts<BR>I cannot ping any other computers by name even though they are listed <BR>under findsmb.<BR><BR>When I type smbstatus my computer is listed but it says $IPC whereas the <BR>other computers say School Int before it. I am not sure if that is <BR>relevant or not.<BR><BR>Hope someone can point me in the right direction to try to work this out.<BR><BR>I am using K12ltsp 4.2.1<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>K12OSN mailing list<BR>K12OSN@redhat.com<BR><A href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</A><BR>For more info see <<A href="http://www.k12os.org">http://www.k12os.org</A>><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
