pnethood - samba share mounter

Would you know if Pnethood has some sort of limitation on the number of computers it can see on the network?
We have 19 computers at work and it will only see 17 of them.
The two it doesn't see are the last two I set up for new employees, I originally thought maybe I had done something wrong setting them up but they see the whole network and others can see them.
I then booted puppy 3 and Linneighborhood sees all 19 so I figure it is something in pnethood.

Can lameSMBxplorer see them?
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

I am pretty sure I tried LameSMBxplorer but I don't remember the results.
It either saw less or the same, I will have to try it again Monday and see what it does.
The strange thing is that some older Puppy versions with Pnethood only see 10 computers, even though they say they are the same version of Pnethood as in Lucid Puppy so there must be some difference.
I tried installing Linneighborhood in Lucid 5.1.1 and it works, except you cant mount the shares, it seems at some point Mtab was changed to a symbolic link and that messes up the mounting of shares. I tried changing Mtab to make it not a link and after that you can mount the shares but the system changes it back to a symbolic link on reboot.

I set it to 30 seconds, which is the max on the menu, but it didn't make a difference, thank you for the tip though.

If you runI ran nbtscan and it shows 17.
16 with names and 1 unknown.
Code: Select all
smbclient -NL NAME
Interesting. I can't remember - does lameSMBxplorer use nbtscan? I have found that pnethood sometimes keeps scanning forever... if I run `killall nbtscan` it stops scanning and shows me all the sharesMark_C wrote:Ok here are some things I tried today.
LameSMBxplorer doesn't seem to work in Lucid Puppy 5.1.1 it just scans and scans and locks up the network, I have to reboot the computer to free up the network(strange).

I ran lameSMBxplorer and using the killall nbtscan twice it stopped and the network became usable again.
Although after it stopped it did not show anything listed in the network.

Oh. I've seen that error. It was quite hard to find the right answer (in my case) with GoogleMark_C wrote:It wont see them, it comes back with with NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
IIRC some causes of it may have been identified earlier in this thread though.

I just installed pnethood 0.65 in a Debian KDE box and discovered something in the code that should probably be changed, even for Puppy. At about line 69 should be
The reason being that some ifconfig calls return a line that has Inet6 in it and that will render pnethood completely useless.

Finally figured out why Pnethood was not seeing all the shares.
My fault really, the two computers it would not see had their XP built in firewall turned on
I found a little program written by MU, close to the bottom of the page.
This runs from terminal and scans the network, the two showed up on the list but had an cli error, which go me to thinking about firewalls.

Pnethood includes log connection files, your problem wasn´t show on them?Mark_C wrote:Finally figured out why Pnethood was not seeing all the shares.

Although major Puppy versions don´t have IPv6 enabled, your code is a fail save fix for customized kernel builds that include IPv6 and could be added in Pnethood.Mobeus wrote:I just installed pnethood 0.65 in a Debian KDE box and discovered something in the code that should probably be changed, even for Puppy.

Folks, please excuse: just installed Puppy lucid 5.11 on Acer Aspire One.
Actually on a USB "drive" plugged into the Aspire, which is Ethernet connected to my Windows 98SE desktop.
Pnethood finds no shares.
Is there any use of me, a rusty old amateur, trying to see the desktop's files from the Linux machine?
As I recall from months ago, using 4.31 ? , I was able to.
Maybe I'd used lameSMBexplorer?
Many thanks,
Sheldon Isaac

Hi sheldonisaac,
Please try latest pnethood version 0.6.6 from here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60672.
If some share is seen, then mount them using "cifs".
If you still don´t find any shares, look the log and share file in /tmp/pnethood, for any error and post them here.
Also post the results from command:
