Hi Sambas,
I have been using the latest Sun version of Samba on my Solaris 9
SPARC Ultra 10 for a long time now. I connect with my W2K PC to
mainly play music and make backups.
I recently foolishly installed the Sun Solaris PC NetLink 2.0 as
an experiment. The NetLink worked but I couldn't easily work out
the security - basically I don't use any as it is a home system with
only myself and my GF as users. I uninstalled it and re-installed
Samba. Unfortunately it didn't work and still doesn't work. I
don't
know why as everything is the same as before. I have tried using a
different W2K PC but it couldn't connect to the Ultra 10 either. If
I use a different Unix server then my PC can see it fine. I have tried
re-installing and uninstalling NetLink and re-installing the Sun Samba
and also installing a non-Sun supplied Samba but all to no avail. My
setup is as simple as possible, nothing special or tricky, just two
directory shares.
I tried the Samba debugging/troubleshooting tips in the documentation
but all I could discover was that the machine name could not be found by
the PC. From the PC I can naturally ping, ftp and telnet to the server
and vice versa.
HELP! Has anybody else had similar problems?
Regards,
Nick
