With WinXP host, RH8 VMware guest, at level 3, I issue: mount -t smbfs -o user,noauto,dmask=777,fmask=777,username=xx, password=yy //DELLBOX/linuxShare /mnt/linuxShare and get: Connection to DELLBOX failed SMB connection failed timeout connecting to 192.168.113.1:139 Error connecting to 192.168.113.1 I cannot find this IP address anywhere. My tables indicate that port 139 is related to NETBIOS, but I don't know how to deal with thi...

I recently reinstalled RH8 as a VMware guest on a WinXP box. I used a previously proven script at level 3, containing, in one line with no inappropriate spaces: mount -t smbfs -o user,noauto,dmask=777,fmask=777,username=xx, password=yy //DELLBOX/linuxShare /mnt/linuxShare I get a failure that reports numerous possibilities including bad fs, and other other things. I suspect I omitted a step in the installation. I used the standard RH8 Workstation install, and later executed an upgrade to get Samba. Pings are successful in both directions. Any s...

...inXP; Guest: Linux 8.0: Following advice I received elsewhere yesterday, I modified Linux start up files (level 3) with mount -t smbfs to connect to a shared directory in WinXP. On WinXP, both the directory and the share permissions give full control to Everyone. On Linux, the both /mnt and /mnt/linuxShare have drwxrwxrwx. As root, on the Linux side I have full control in the shared out directory. As another user in Linux, I cannot create a new file in the shared out directory. This fails with cp, vi, and touch. Oddly, I can use vi to modify a preexisting file. Advice would be much appreciated....

...this has to be something I'm missing in the smb.conf file, but can't for the life of me figure it out. Can anybody see if I'm missing something important? Here is an excerpt of my smb.conf file [global] workgroup = MYDOMAIN realm = MYDOMAIN.COM netbios name = LINUXSHARE password server = PDC.MYDOMAIN.COM preferred master = no security = ADS encrypt passwords = yes log level = 3 server string = A RHEL3 Samba Server log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 name resolve order = host wi...

...communication both way's. On the Windows box I created a Linux user account. In this account I created only shared folders. This is the account that has loaded using either smbclient. I just check this and it is still working for me ! When mounted I can view the files on my XP /familypc/linux/linuxshare in the mounted folder on my FC3 box which is where I'm sitting and writing this message from. I just added a 2nd linux box running FC4. This a home network with 3 machines. Two Linux boxes and a XP. I have the same smb.conf setting on my FC4 with this exception: netbios name = Samba Server o...
