Unable to Browse or Connect From Win98 to Samba 2.0.3
Hi, Configuration ------------- Client workstation: Windows 98, encrypted passwords, netbios name = montreal Server: Red Hat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36, Samba 2.0.3, netbios name = kiwi I was having the problems that I describe below with Samba 1.98x so I removed it and installed the 2.0.3 binary rpms. The installation went without a hitch. Unfortunately, I am still not able to browse or connect from my Windows 98 client. I also cannot connect locally with smbclient with any user other than root. I still get the same error with the new version of Samba as I did with the older one. I can ping the server with the Win 98 machine. If I disconnect from the Linux box and connect to a Windows NT Server, I can log on, browse, and connect to shares on the NT box with the same Win 98 client so I doubt there is anything wrong on the client side. I am at a loss to explain what is going on. Any ideas? I can connect locally as root as follows: smbclient \\\\kiwi\\common If I attempt to connect as a different user, by typing: smbclient \\\\kiwi\\common -U foo where foo is a user who has been added to the smbpasswd file by doing a smbpasswd -a foo, the server responds with: Added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) Server time is Wed Mar 10 01:55:35 1999 Timezone is UTC-5.0 Password: I typed in the correct password and the server returned: Domain=[UCBL] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.3] security=user SMBtconX failed. ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect.) Perhaps you are using the wrong sharename, username or password? I definitely have the right sharename, username, and password. The smb.conf file is as follows. # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost (127.0.0.1) # Date: 1999/03/11 02:14:19 # Global parameters workgroup = UCBL1 server string = Samba Server encrypt passwords = Yes unix password sync = Yes log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast socket options = TCP_NODELAY logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U domain logons = Yes os level = 255 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.

Unable to Browse or Connect From Win98 to Samba 2.0.3
Hi, I solved the problem with the inability to logon locally with a valid user. I had the wrong permissions on the common directory. The user foo did not have any permissions on /common. Once I granted permission, I could browse /common using the smbclient program. However, I am still unable to browse the server or connect from a Win 98 client. Typing the following at a DOS prompt: net view \\kiwi\common returns, after a long time, the following message: Error 54: The network is currently busy processing other requests or is out of resources. Try again later, or verify your network configuration to be sure that enough network resources are specified. First, there are only two machines on this network, the Linux server running Samba, and the Windows 98 client. Second, if I disconnect the Win 98 machine from this network and connect it to another network where there is an NT Server, the Win 98 machine behaves exactly as it should with the NT Server. Finally, the Ethernet card in the Linux server is fine since I have had it connected to a cable modem. My kingdom for a solution:) At 10:51 AM 3/11/99 -0500, I wrote:>Configuration >------------- >Client workstation: Windows 98, encrypted passwords, netbios name = montreal >Server: Red Hat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36, Samba 2.0.3, netbios name = kiwi >I can connect locally as root as follows: > >smbclient \\\\kiwi\\common > >If I attempt to connect as a different user, by typing: > >smbclient \\\\kiwi\\common -U foo > >where foo is a user who has been added to the smbpasswd file by doing a >smbpasswd -a foo, the server responds with: > >Added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 >Got a positive name query response from 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) >Server time is Wed Mar 10 01:55:35 1999 >Timezone is UTC-5.0 >Password: > >I typed in the correct password and the server returned: > >Domain=[UCBL] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.3] security=user >SMBtconX failed.
