Has any tried to connect to a samba server while using Win98 beta 2 as a client? I keep getting incorrect username/password errors in the samba log file and am unable to either map a drive or connect to a shared resource. With debug level set to 4 on the samba serve the main error seems to be error in packet at line 129 for cmd=117 (or something like that). If anyone else finds a fix for this, please let me know. BTW the version of samba is 1.9.16p11 Kieran Sullivan
Hi there, I know, that question has been answered a thousand times -), but what do I need to do to get access from a win98 client. It asks for a password, but there is no password !! What do I need to do on both sides ?. Thanks for your help Thomas
Hi, I am running Samba 2.0 and Slackware 3.6. I used to have win95 on my LAN, connected to Samba. It worked great! In used Client for Microsoft Networks to log in to a Windows NT domain (which samba was the server for). I had no problems. However, I upgraded to Win98. Why? Who knows... Anyway, It wont accept my logon password. I checked all the settings, all looks fine, with the TCP/IP stuff..,.. I don't get it... I have a third win95 machine on the LAN, it is not visible under network neighborhood. However, when I uncheck the LOG ONTO WINDOWS NT DOMAIN, and I reboot, I look into network neighborhood, all three machines are listed, including the samba one. But, I can not access any files on the samba machine, because I am not logged in. If I try to access it, it asks for the password for my user, but it does not accept it. Anyone have a solution? Thank you so much in advanced! Chris
Have Samba 2.0.3 compiled on NCR UNIX SysVR4, 3.02.00, on one server and Samba 2.0.2 on same UNIX on another server. Have Samba 2.0.3 compiled on a test PC running Redhat Linux version 5.2. Only difference is the compilation on the NCR servers was with "cc" while the Linux box compiled with "gcc". Using Windows NT 4.0, no problem connecting to any of the servers and printers and folders display properly. Same smb.conf setup in all servers. However, using Windows 98, I can connect to and see the Linux Samba OK, but the NCR UNIX servers display everything as printers. Net View \\computername displays everything as type printer. Why is this? Also interested in any documentation to assist in getting Samba working over sub-nets. Anything available?

When I left work this Friday, everything with regards to Win98, Win95, and Samba running on two NCR UNIX servers and one Redhat Linux server, is WORKING fine. At least it is on the local subnet. Finally gave up on making Samba on one of the UNIX PC's, the local master browser, and made one of the Windoze98 PC's the local browser. Network Neighborhood browsing works only when this PC is running. Next week, I'll start to try to make Samba work over the routers to remote subnets. Learned a lot from buying Micro$oft Windows98 Resource Kit manual. Cost was about $100, or in terms you can relate to, about 4 pizzas. Moved many MB's of data around the net between the servers today. Works great. All user connections to printers work beautifully. Now that I've patted your back, I'd like to know whether there is "updated" documentation re the Browsing.txt re using subnets? Harry Nicholls harry1@idirect.com

Network > Neighborhood browsing works only when this PC is running.How many protocols are you running? IPX (with NetBIOS) or NetBlooie with TCP/IP can make browsing goofy (ie, windoze will announce on one protocol, while samba only speaks TCP/IP...) I have samba (with OS level = 65) as local and domain master (only one subnet) with win95b and NT4 workstation (no win98 yet) clients. You can disable browse master competition on win95 (don't know about win98) in the Network/File & Printer Sharing Properties (the default is auto). And get rid of NetBlooie... Since linux stays running forever (or until the hardware or power gives out), samba should become browse master and stay there. Once we did the above (and fixed our coax problem) browsing has stayed completely stable. smbclient -L hostname will show the browse list if the given host has one. If you up the debug level on nmbd, you can see the browse master competition in the logs.> I'd like to know whether there is "updated" > documentation re the Browsing.txt re using subnets?Have you checked the archives for the samba docs mailing list? That list doesn't seem to have traffic, but there might be something there. AFAIK, none of the M$ products can do cross- subnet browsing. Samba can, but I think you need a samba box on each subnet. If you don't have the hardware (or need a file server on each subnet) you could do it with 8 meg 386 boxes. I'm just full of advice today...

Re: Steve Arnold's reply to my previous post. Running only one protocol, TCP/IP. With Samba as local master browser on one of the UNIX PC's, and all networked Win95 or Win98 PC's set as "disabled" for master browser, the network could only be browsed by using net view \\server or net view /WORKGROUP:wrkgpname. On the Linux box the command smbclient -L server -Uname%passwd P displayed all networked devices. The only way to view the shared files and printers in Windows Network Neighborhood for any networked PC, was to first use "find computer". The computer is immediately found and all shared items are displayed. The Microsoft Network Neighborhood folder displayed only the Entire Network icon and HP Network Printers icon. The only way everything works properly is to not have Samba be the local master browser and turn on one Win98 PC as enabled in the file and printer sharing properties. By doing so, all networked computers, including the two UNIX and the Linux PC's are displayed in the Win98 Network Neighborhood folder window as icons. Clicking on any of those icons displayed the correct shared resources. We've never been able to see PC's on the remote subnet's, (over routers), without first using "find computer" and creating shortcuts to those computers in Network Neighborhood. I'm hoping to see that change, if I understand the Samba "Browsing.txt" document. The Browsing.txt document says cross-subnet browsing is possible if all networked devices point to a WINS server. Our UNIX PC, "Backup server" has been configured to be the WINS server. The UNIX PC, "Live Server" has been designated as the Domain master browser. A Samba server on the remote subnets should not be necessary since I don't plan to use the remote announce or remote browse sync. All network PC's telnet from any subnet into the UNIX PC "Live Server" which is on the same subnet as the "Backup Server" so having them all point to the same WINS server should be no problem. Anyway, I'll see what happens next week. (and that's a good suggestion about using old 386 or 486 boxes as Samba servers. Linux seems to be able to be installed on those older machines and run with less ram. I hadn't thought of running "stand-alone" Samba servers, but that's a good option.)

You need that without a WINS server... (the samba box should work fine for that though) Steve ************************************************************* Steve Arnold http://www.rain.org/~sarnold Linux: It's not just for nerds anymore...
Browsing on local subnet and remote subnet update. I'm getting there! Last week, had local subnet browsing among, Win95, Win98, Linux RH5.2, UNIX SysVR4 PC's working fine. This week got browsing on cross-subnet (via router and ISDN phone line to another city), working. The only thing which did not work 100% was printing from a Win95 PC over the network to one of the UNIX servers running Samba, which sent the print job to the lp print service. The lp print service sent the job back over the network to the remote location to a Microplex M202 print server, and then via serial port to a HP Laserjet 4M printer. Sending a Windows print test page works perfectly, but any text file is printed as garbage. Today I'll be travelling to another remote location to configure their subnet browsing. That location also has a Microplex M202 print server. Anyone, who may have had experience with printing to these servers through Samba, please let me know how you resolved any problems. (print command used = lp -c -d%p -o raw %s; rm %s" Harry Nicholls harry1@idirect.com
Having been asked to summarize how I got Network Neighborhood cross subnet browsing working, here is what I did: On both NCR3445 UNIX PC's, (Live Server and Backup Server), added user name "nobody" to /etc/passwd file. Password was locked so it cannot be used as regular login. Copied smb.conf to smb.conf.default and editted smb.conf as follows: All lines below the #====Share Definitions=== are commented or semi-coloned. workgroup = woodtrk server string = Samba Server NCR3445 hosts allow = 198.135.107.32/255.255.255.224, 198.135.107.96/255.255.255.224, 198.135.107.160/255.255.255.224, localhost log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m security = user include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m On Live Server: local master = yes os level = 65 domain master = yes preferred master = yes wins server = 198.135.107.120 dns proxy = no On Backup Server: local master = no os level = 65 domain master = yes preferred master = yes wins support = yes dns proxy = no In /usr/local/samba/lib directory, a file smb.conf.(netbios name) for each workgroup PC was created. All lines above the #====Share Definitions==were deleted. Each PC's smb.conf file contains some or all of the printer or shared folder definitions. On each PC in the workgroup, locally and on remote subnets, all Windows95 and Windows98 registries were ediited to add the EnablePlainTextPassword dword. All Network Neighborhood properties were editted to remove NETBEIU, if present, and the TCP/IP WINS was enabled to point to 198.135.107.120. All File and Printer sharing properties to set to disabled for Browse master, except for: on the local subnet, one PC was left to be automatic. On the remote subnets, the PC most likely to be turned on first each day and left on was set to be "enabled" and one other PC was left as "automatic". Seems to working for browsing locally and to the remote subnets, which are connected by routers and ISDN phone lines. Harry Nicholls harry1@idirect.com
I've managed to get things working between a linux server and a win2k
server. I can access the directories i want, and i can print what i want.
Now i'm trying to get a win98 machine setup and i am having some problems.
I do have the server set to use USER level security and encrypted
passwords. From the doc's i'm not sure what the problem is. I should
also
mention that when i do an smbclient -L localhost, its listing the win2k
server as the master for the workgroup:
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
myworkgroup
when the win98 machine trys to browse the network, its saying the network
is not accessible. so i cant even see the machine itself. My guess its due
to my win2k server saying its a master.
any suggestions to what i have done wrong?
Hmmm....actually, i just checked again anfd my workstation is not listed as
the master anymore. But the win98 machine still says it cant browse the
network.
Thanks in advance for any help
Hmm...well i am more familar with win98 then linux. Any suggestions as to what i should look at? The machine can get onto the internet fine. And when i use smbclient -M to send a message to the machine, smbclient acts as though it worked. It says its connected and it says message send when i send it. I suppose I can always completely remove all the networking and reinstall it. On Tue, 19 Sep 2000 IT.Helpdesk@lincolnelectric.com.au wrote:> > > Sounds like a problem with the win98 machine to me.

Hello anybody, I'm new to the world of samba and have a problem. I have 3 computers in a mini-network, 2 with win98 and one SuSE Linux 7.0. From the win98 computers I can get a link to the Linux computer, can do read/write and everything but... form my linux computer I can't get into the win98 computers. Using smbclient -NL servername I can get a list of the shares. On the other hand in Konqueror (windows shares) I only get the workgroup and nothing else. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas on what I can try to make it work? Peter ________________________________________________________________ Keine verlorenen Lotto-Quittungen, keine vergessenen Gewinne mehr!
