Hi, I have sent this e-mail last week, but I didn't get any responses. Hopefully I hear back from someone soon. I have configured samba on our HP-UX 11.0 server with hptest as the server name. I used the smb.conf file and tested using testparm. To start the smb daemons, I used the following commands: /opt/samba/bin/smbd -D /opt/samba/bin/nmbd -D Finally, I tested the samba daemons using: smbclient -U% -L hptest All of this seems to run okay. The problem is that I cannot see the samba server from Network Neighborhood in the hptest folder. I don't even know how to see it from the HP server. I'm running on Windows 2000, but I used your Windows NT documentation to setup my PC. My PC is pingable and DNS and WINS are working properly. I tried to connect using: Start, Run, \\hptest, but I get the following error message: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Can you please give me some direction to what I might be doing wrong? If there is any additional information you need to know about my settings, please let me know. Thanks for your time and help.

Browsing is the last part of the section, because - it's **wierd** - it depends on much of the preceding material. It only takes about 10 minutes to do the whole test sequence, so I generally start from the beginning even when I'm sure I know what's wrong, as my initial guess is often wrong (and I wrote the section!) --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

Did you try tests described in samba/docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt file?
Did you read this PDF file
http://ca.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf ?
Try first techniques described there. Because it is really hard to say, what
could be wrong without seeing log files, smb.conf file, network topology, ...
Your problem should not be so hard to solve, try it. You will see, that it is
simple. ;-)

Hi, I have sent you an e-mail earlier last week and it was suggested to me to test all steps discussed in the Troubleshooting section. I ran the tests but I feel more lost than before. First, I will describe the problem again. We currently have an HP-UX 11.0 server with the name hptest. We are running Windows 2000. I am trying to connect to the samba shares from Network Neighborhood or using start, run, \\hptest. But, I get the following error message: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect I discussed this issue with a different user, but apparently he has a different problem. He is being prompted for a password, but when he puts in the username and password for the root Unix server, it doesn't work. Questions: How come this works differently on the 2 machines? Where is this username and password prompt coming from? Is coming from Samba or from the Windows 2000 server? Why doesn't the Unix root password work? I have attached our smb.conf file and here are some of the problems I experienced when I followed the troubleshooting section. For the password, I supplied the Unix password for root. I also tired my personal Unix password and I got the same results. hptest:Root:/ =>smbclient '\\hptest\temp' Added interface ip=172.20.0.60 bcast=172.20.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Got a positive name query response from 172.20.1.232 ( 172.20.0.60 ) Password: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) Similary, when I issue: smbclient -L hptest Added interface ip=172.20.0.60 bcast=172.20.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0 Got a positive name query response from 172.20.1.232 ( 172.20.0.60 ) Password: session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.) hptest:Root:/ => nmblookup -B hptest Sending queries to 172.20.0.60 I am new to this, but I was told when we were running on NT, browsing was working. I don't know if this means we have to change something in the smb.conf file or not. Can you please give me any ideas. If you need to get any additional information about our environment, I'll be happy to supply it.

Hi,
The version of samba is 2.0.3.
Both of us are trying to do this from our PCs. The operating system we are
running is Windows 2000.
Please let me know if this answers your questions or if you need any
additional information. Thanks your help.

Subject: Re: Question regarding accessing Samba / please respond
two questions for you
what version of samba
what is the other user connecting from. your connecting from a windows 2000
server he is connecting from...
an easy way to get a basic connection is to change the smb.conf line of
security = "somesetting" to security = share
also make sure the path you are trying to share has correct permissions on
the unix side.
