| hi all,
i understand that netbios broadcast only happen in network with winNT(if i am not wrong).
i have a network with a linux working as a server and 30 win desktop.(no NT) i did a tcpdump and captured a large amount of netbios-dgm broadcast. this is bringing my network to a stand still.
question 1,
why is there such a broadcast since there is no winNT in the network?
2,
how do i prevent this?
anyone can advise?
thanks

| hello friend,
you need to turn off your samba daemon, or better yet, uninstall samba. if you have no nt machines on domain, there is no need for it. use ps -aux to see what processes running then kill the ones you dont need, and edit your startup scripts to see that they not run again. you can also edit smb.conf file to stop this, but no reason to have samba if you are not use it. |
