This has browsing support, so you can connect to a Samba service using the "browse" button in WfWg. It doesn't appear to work with NT, and for all I know it only works on my home network. It is very rough. The smbclient program can also browse any WfWg, NT (or Samba!) machine using the -L option. This is useful for knowing what shares are available. I plan to release 1.8.00 tomorrow sometime. I would appreciate any feedback about any aspect of 1.8.00alpha4 before then, if possible. Thanks, Andrew

I posted it to the Samba mailing list and got no response. This time I'm cc'ing it to Andrew. I just installed 1.8.05 and was pleased to see that I can now browse my printers in print manager form NT 3.1. Unfortunatley, that's all I can do with them. When I try to connect I get "Could not connect to the printer: The printer name is invalid." After examing the log and the sources, I found that NT is trying to open 2 named pipes. /tmp/pipe/srvsvc and /tmp/pipe/spoolss. The open_file() function calls check_for_pipe() and returns an error. What gives? I thought named pipe operations were working now. -- Beverly Brown beve...@datacube.com Datacube Inc.

What gives? I thought named pipe operations were working now. On every named pipe operation NT tries to do the operation first by operating on a special file /tmp/pipe/????. This only succeeds when talking to other NT systems. When this fails it then reverts to the documented IPC method of named pipes, which Samba supports. The same things happens with WfWg. The problem with the "could not connect to printer" is actually in the IPC routines. NT called the DosGetPrintQInfo IPC with a uLevel of 0 and I don't know how to handle it. It's annoying to debug as when I try to guess how to handle it NT 3.1 crashes completely. If someone wants to have a go then grab 1.8.06alpha1 and try to tweak the uLevel=0 routines to do the right thing. I have shoved this to the bottom of my pile of things to do after wasting two hours continually reboting my NT system (a slow process as it only has 8Mb of ram).
