Ok been working on this for 2 days and have had little luck.
I have two boxes OPTIPLEX (XP) and DHCPPC1 (LINUX)
From both machines I can ping one another both by IP and NAME.
I can print from my linux box to windows box which has a printer on it.
From XP I can:
net view /DOMAIN:Mshome does show \\DHCPPC1
net view \\DHCPPC1 gives two errors (swtiches back and forth)
1. path not located
2. Service on remote machine not
From network neighborhood I can see this linux machine but when I
double click on it says the same 2 errors above.
I went through the Diagnostics.txt and ran through the 11 scenarios.
The LINUX side looks setup 100% and passed all the tests.
The test to use net view \\DHCPPC1 failed, but their solutions DID NOT
help me.
I tired chaning Windows XP to use plain text password
I added the RequireSignorSeal = dword:0x00000000
My smb.conf file is:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = FUNINC
netbios name = BLACK
server string = Samba Server
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = Yes
update encrypted = Yes
password level = 6
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
Also in mylog.nmbd I have this:
Samba name server LINUX is now a local master browserfor workgroup
MSHOME on subnet 192.168.0.2 - does that seem right?
Last thing: If my XP box has a shared folder MP3, from linux how can I
access that share?
Unfortunally if I can not resolve both these issues I must switch back
to XP.
Thanks
