Hello all, I am new to this list and to samba. I used samba in a previous life, but someone else installed and maintained it. I am have a small issue that I do not know if it is resolvable. Here it is: I have installed samba on the server named "kirk", our master domain controller for nt is named "picard". They are on the same subnet. My clients are on a different subnet. My client can see kirk in the network neighborhood, but when accessed it returns "\\kirk is not accessible The network path was not found." I am not sure what other info I need to provide. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Rod.
Hi Rod, Sounds like you have a name resolution problem - a couple of ways to resolve it; 1. if you have a wins server, make samba a wins server client by adding the line wins server = <ipaddress of wins server> And additionally make sure your clients on the other subnet are using the SAME wins server. 2. If you use a dns server, make sure that samba netbios name and the clients are all resolvable via dns, and that the clients are set up to use dns to resolve names. you can check to see if a client and or samba name is resolvable using the unix command nslookup <name> 3. you can use lmhosts file on the clients and samba server... tedious.

I am using DNS and both names will resolve via DNS. I can issue #nmblookup -B rodj_laptop -d2 "*" it returns a positive response. Any other further ideas?

Hi Rod, Try setting your log level = 10 and you log file = .../log.%m Then try your connection from the pc again. You should get a log.<pc netbios machinename> with a LOT of info in it. If you want to send it to me (offlist) I'll take a look and see what I can determine.

Rod, Do you by chance have a hosts allow or hosts deny line in your smb.conf file?
