Hi all; I've got Linux and samba installed in two PC's of our lan. The rest of the computers have Windows2000 installed. The PC's with Windows2000 can browse my Linux shares perfectly with Windows Explorer, and I can print from Linux to a Windows client printer. I can connect ?with 'smbclient' to a windows client and see its content, and also to each of the other linux computer and see the shares of both of them from each other. All this makes me quite happy :-> My problems are about mounting and browsing the net from the Linux PC's: 1) Between both Linux computer, I am using also samba to communicate between these to computers. Is this the better way? 2) I'm using konqueror to browse and in the address bar I write lan://IP-of-the-others-PC but the connection fails. Is this correct or I always need to mount the destination filesystems before I can see them in a browser? 3) I've also tried to use mount in this way: mount -t smbfs //HP-Javier/publDoc /mnt/publdoc and give the samba password. It mounts right but when I try to add (write - when browsing with konqueror) a file to the remote linux PC the access is denied. I'm sure that the user has write access allowed to hits folder. Why this? 4) I've also mounted, in the same way, a whole NTFS filesystem of a remote windows2000 PC, and I can browse it right in konqueror, but I haven't got write access. And write access is allowed to my user in the windows 2000 PC. Is the same question that the previous one, but perhaps the solution is different. It sounds very strange to me, because I can modify a file ( a text file) but I can delete nor add new files. It seems like a samba error. Isn't it? 5) There are any restrictions to mount and access lan's filesystems, through samba, based on the owner of the folders? 6) And last. A question and a comment: I have used 'smbumount' to unmount a big remote NTFS, and the systems block sometimes. Besides this, my computer browse it very slowly and sometimes halts the computer. Is there any advice, or known problems, about big filesystems. Thank you for your help in any of the questions, and Happy New Year. --------- A.
