[Samba] final tests fail with samba...can anyone help?
Hello, I just took an old PC and installed SuSE 7.0 on it. The machine has 32Mb of RAM, so I needed a slim installation and kernel, and this was the only package I could get to install without immense effort (I tried 5 other versions of small linux distros from linuxiso.org before this one). The version of Samba I installed on this Suse box is 2.0.7. From what I have read, this version SHOULD work with Windows 2000. I had to look hard to find it on the SuSE site, because they have mothballed it off into an "obsolete/unsupported" directory. I was just glad to find it, since newer versions of the samba product fail the dependency checks on the rpm installer and would not work. Eventually, I may update to more recent code, but I didn't want to upgrade the entire system (yet) for the sake of getting samba to work. I guess I should also mention that I am aware of the patches and fixes for the product since 2.0.7. I have run all of the tests in the DIAGNOSIS file, and all appear to work except for the last 2...which of course are the most important. On the Windows side, I know sharing works because I share with a laptop quite frequently. NBTSTAT comes back fine with the Samba directory information....but... When I run Net View \\SERVERNAME I get: System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found. When I run Net Use X: \\SERVERNAME\tmp I get the same thing. On the Linux side.... * if I run nmblookup -A [WINDOWSSERVERNAME]....all comes back perfectly. * The samba client connects to itself just fine. * if I run smbclient -M [WINDOWSSERVERNAME]...and type in a message...I see the dialogue on windows! * if I run smbclient -L [WINDOWSSERVERNAME], I get the following: Connecting to [IP] at port 139 write_socket(3,76) write_socket(3,76) wrote 76 Sent session request got smb length of 1 size=1 smb_com=0x0 smb_rcls=0 smb_reh=0 smb_err=0 smb_flg=0 smb_flg2=0 smb_tid=0 smb_pid=0 smb_uid=0 smb_mid=0 smt_wct=0 smb_bcc=0 session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening on called name) Anyone have any clues here? I am about out of gas on time and energy on this one and could use some help... MW

A package with samba 2.2.8a exists. der tom

[Samba] final tests fail with samba...can anyone help?
Is Windows 2000 running in mixed mode or native mode? I *KNOW* that the 2.0.x series worked quite well with W2K in mixed mode.>From my recollection though, in native mode was quite ineffective as nativemode (correct me if I'm incorrect in my recollection, people) ignores port 139 netbios calls in favor of the new NBT port. I'm a bit rusty though as I've been running the beta 3 for quite a while (excellent work, people! A little more work and life'll be joyful without a NT4/NT5 server around!). ----- Original Message ----- From: wittling - softhome account <wittling@softhome.net> To: <samba@samba.anu.edu.au> Sent: Saturday, April 26, 2003 3:23 PM Subject: [Samba] final tests fail with samba...can anyone help?

Do you have a firewall? Have you opened the ports 137,138,139 on the lindoze? wittling - softhome account <wittling@softhome.net> wrote: Hello, I just took an old PC and installed SuSE 7.0 on it.
