Dear guru's,
I trying to configure samba(v 3.0.2).
server = linux redhat 9.0
host = win xp
smb.conf
[global]
netbios name = egmond
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = user
log file = /var/log/samba.log
log level = 1
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
wins server = 192.168.10.1
wins support = yes
domain logons = yes
logon drive = p:
logon home = \\niftyserver\
os level = 99
preferred master = yes
[pub]
path = /cifs/pub
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
[netlogon]
path = /cifs/netlogon
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
in /etc/hosts
192.168.0.1 niftyserver
I read like: "The IP address of the WINS server should be your Samba server
(where the nmbd daemon is running)"
I could smbclient //localhost/pub...
At my xp pc if I run command
C:\>net use p:\\niftyserver\pub
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
Which mean like there is something wrong in the name. My linux machine runs
NAT and I haven't a DHCP server(yet). Is that a requirement in my situation?
I have WINS on 192.168.0.1(XP PC) and
nmblookup -U 192.168.0.1 niftyserver
name_query failed to find name niftyserver
so it really comes back to a naming problem...DHCP required?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Wim
i am no guru at all, but if you want to use another wins server, shouldn't
you configure
wins support = no
?
