I am trying to set up a samba server however no matter what I try I can not seem
to browse my shares from a windows machine. I can view the Samba server in
network neighborhood but if i click it (or do a net view) I just recieve an
error. On the Samba web site there were some tests to try and all of them worked
(pinging, browsing shares from the samba server using smbclient etc.) right up
until it said to do a net view from the windows machine.
I have tried different settings in my smb.conf and so far nothing has worked
however this is what it is set to right now:
[global]
server string = Samba Server
guest account = nobody
workgroup = SBS
netbios name = SAMBA
public = yes
browsable = yes
domain logons = no
null passwords = yes
min passwd length = 0
password level = 8
username level = 8
wins server = 192.168.0.1
; interfaces = 192.168.0.199/255.255.0.0
; bind interfaces only = yes
dns proxy = no
guest ok = yes
map to guest = bad user
encrypt passwords = no
security = user
log level = 3
local master = no
domain master = no
; alternate permissions = yes
[NETLOGON]
path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon
guest ok = yes
readonly = yes
[share]
comment = Share Directory
path = /share
read only = no
public = yes
browsable = yes
and BTW the following command:
nmblookup -B 192.168.255.255 samba returns:
name_query failed to find name samba
my net mask is 255.255.0.0 and my samba server name is samba
Thanks,
Nathan
I dont know why but check your inetd /Xinetd service and enable it, if not
running.
i had kind of similar problem, and got rid of it after i started Xinetd
service on my RH 7 box.
cheers,
