search for: homegroups

I've used Samba to share files on my home LAN, consisting of Linux and Windows systems. So far, I've never enabled Homegroups on the Windows systems. I'm now asked to set up a larger LAN in a school computer laboratory, consisting of 30+ Windows 7 machines, several printers and scanners, and two Linux workstations. I expect that homegroups would be the easiest way to set up the Windows systems for file and device sha...

hi all My name is Kendell Clark, and I've just subscribed to this list. I thought I'd write this email to introduce myself, and ask a couple of questions about configuring samba. I'm a co developer of a linux distribution for the visually impaired and disabled called Sonar GNU linux, which you can learn more about at http://www.sonargnulinux.com. I've been struggling to come up

hi Not just yet. I've set up a windows 10 instance on my desktop to test with. It's not activated so I've got a month to test, will probably only keep it around a couple of days. How is windows doing this? When I go to connect to mellisa's computer which is running windows 7, even with the workgroup name changed from the default windows finds it and connects. I try the same

hi Basically I'm trying to come up with a default config file that will allow people to access their stuff that reside on windows computers, macs or linux computers from across the network. I know windows uses the "WORKGROUP" name by default unless you change it, but one thing I've noticed is that samba can't simply query windows for the info it needs, it has to be set

Here is my smb.conf. Maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. [global] workgroup = HOMEGROUP log level = 8 path = /var/spool/lpd/HPDESKJET default service = global writable = yes printer = HPDESKJET remote announce = 192.168.x.x/HOMEGROUP print command = lpr -l -P%p %s printing = bsd load printers = yes dns proxy = No lprm command = lprm public = yes printcap name =

hi Completely agree about windows. From what I'm hearing on this list there's no "default" file that will do what I want? If I'm understanding this right it's not how samba is configured so much as it is what the gui tools will let me do? I use the mate desktop, with the caja file manager and it's caja share extension. I've tried a few things, connecting to

hi Ok, this is odd. Samba now works. I went to smb://blackfang, samba prompted me for my user name and password, and then connected. There was an smbclient update, and that must've fixed it because before that it wouldn't work. My final question is printer sharing. Is it simple to set up printer sharing where a printer is installed on a windows machine and shared across the network and if

hi Ok, I've now got more info. Doing smbclient -L blackfang returns the following error. unknown name switch type dns. session setup failed. NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE. This is frustrating. Isn't this supposed to work regardless of whether I have an account on the machine I'm trying to connect to? Hear's what I'm trying to do. I'm basically trying to configure samba, however I

Kirtland Air Force Base has denied approval for the use of R on its Windows network. Some of their objections seem a bit strange, but some appear to be legitimate. In particular, they have detected registry "vulnerabilities" which are detailed in the attachment. I know nothing about Windows registry vulnerabilities. If any of these issues are legitimate concerns,

Hello, I HAVE sniffed the network traffic for this w2k client and provided the link via paste.ubuntu.com, so everybody can look inside that without the need of extra-tools like wireshark. And as I realized you have looked into that sniffed result output. I did it this way, because I work on an isolated test env which I cannot access through my computers and do file transfers. And I dont

This is probably an easy one. I have just setup Samba on my Debian 2.0 system with kernel 2.0.34. It was extremely easy set up, great job Samba and Debian people. My problem is that I can see both of my Debian computers in Network Neighborhood but can not log in to both of them. The one I can log in to is Debian 1.3 with 2.0.33 on it. When I double-click on the Debian 2.0 machine it prompts me for
