[Samba] domain name vs ip address causes refresh problem and lowercase vs capitol folder names - how to fix refresh issue?
I have Samba 3.022 and have run into a curious problem - when I access my shared folders over the internet using Windows XP, I get different behavior whether I put the domain name (e.g. \\mydomain.com) versus if I put my direct ip address in (e.g. \\12.34.56.78) when accessing my shares. First, the first screen listing all the shares is in all caps when using the domain name but in lowercase when using the ip address. No big deal here, I don't really care but it's curious. But the real problem is with refreshing the directories after making any changes when using the domain name. If I rename or move a folder, it will not be refreshed unless I hit F5. This is not a problem when using the IP address directly. So I can just use the IP directly for now, but I am trying to debug the problem because my IP isn't static and it would be nice to have access using the domain name. I've fiddled with options such as dns proxy = yes and such, but nothing seems to have made a different. Any advice would be much appreciated. I included my smb.conf file below. Thanks very much in advance! jet -------------- next part -------------- [global] workgroup = Workgroup server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) dns proxy = no log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d hosts allow = ALL ####### Authentication ####### security = user username map = /etc/samba/smbusers encrypt passwords = true passdb backend = tdbsam guest obey pam restrictions = yes guest account = nobody invalid users = root passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . socket options = IPTOS_THROUGHPUT SO_KEEPALIVE #======================= Share Definitions ====================== create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = no path = /tmp printable = yes create mask = 0700 [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers [PROGS] path = /home/jet/progs case sensitive = no read only = no vfs objects = recycle [SHARED] path = /home/jet/Shared case sensitive = no read only = no vfs objects = recycle [MOVIES] path = /home/jet/Desktop/Movies/ case sensitive = no read only = no vfs objects = recycle [FTP] path = /home/jet/ftp/ case sensitive = no read only = no vfs objects = recycle [CDROMDVD] path = /media/cdrom0/ case sensitive = no [FUNNY SHIT] path = /home/jet/Funny Shit/ case sensitive = no read only = no vfs objects = recycle [LAPPY_SHARED] path = /home/jet/Desktop/Lappy_shared/ case sensitive = no read only = no vfs objects = recycle
