similar to: problems with samba's installation

I use samba 2.0.5 on a Solaris 7 Ultra 10 to provide UNIX disk mounts and backups to UNIX tape drives. But I have this new XP and I can't get smbclient to connect to it, although the XP is using all the samba shares R/W. All I get is: /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient //paulxp/"My Documents" passwd -Tc mydocumentsxp.tar Added interface ip=161.217.10.13 bcast=161.217.10.255

Hi , I've some torubles with smb server provided with Debian 3.0 Woody - I can't see any machine in network neighbourhood, altought all machines are loging and mapping resources shared by server correctly. What exactly is needed to be installed with smb - any DNS or something like this? Maybe the question is not too clever, but when I've had my server on RH7.2 there was no such

Hi, While going through DIAGNOSIS.txt on my samba 2.2.2 server, I came across the following test results: Test 5: [root@NetServer samba]# nmblookup -B resaddr8.research.bio2.edu '*' querying * on 209.64.53.8 name_query failed to find name * This appears to be a partial failure? Test 6: Initially, I got: [root@NetServer samba]# nmblookup -d 2 '*' added interface

I am still having trouble with my Windoze2K machine resolving the NetBIOS name of my Samba server. It appears in the Network Neighborhood window but clicking on it gives the "Server not accessible, network path not found" On the server, nmblookup returns names of other machines, but not the server itself unless I use "nmblookup -B 192.0.0.199 lserver." Otherwise it says

I just started using Linux a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to setup samba. I have a couple of text books I have been following which have helped me be able to run the smbclient from Linux to view both the shares on my Linux and xp machine. The problem is that I can not access the Linux files from my xp machine. I can ping the machine without a problem and can also view the machine

I'm trying to figure out how I can have my lan browser display computer names instead of IP Addresses. I think the ip addresses are generated by my router since if I add a new computer, the ip addresses will be different for each computer. anyway let me give you the specs first. Running Samba 2.2.8a-1 on Red Hat 7.3. I have not set up WINS or DNS at all. I have set up lisarc to use

Hi everyone, I'm trying to set up a Windows XP Pro client to connect to a Samba server (version 2.2.8) on a Redhat 8.0 linux box, but have been having trouble for the past 3 days. I have gone through Troubleshooting Samba at [http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf] but I can't figure out how to fix the problem. I suspect that the broadcast address may not be the same on both

Hello all! I've readed somes docs and I found nothing about the following trouble : I can't connect to my sbmd server using the following : '\\MYRH72SMBDSERVERNAME\'. I always got a error message like : 'Share name could not be found, make sure you typed it correctly....' , but if I utilize \\10.x.x.x\ all is working fine (I don't want to access using the \\IP\

I'm trying to troubleshoot a new samba setup on a tiny network, and I'm clearly missing something. I'm running Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu Linux. When I first set it up, it seemed to go so smoothly. I changed all the workstations to the same workgroup (RABNETWORK) and they could see each other and the server, but they couldn't open anything on the server. I don't really understand

Hi, I have a problem connecting my Windows98 to the Samba server. The Linux computer comes up in the "Network Neighborhood" control panel, but when I double click on the icon, W98 asks for a password for the "\\machine name\IPC$" resource. But my password will not me accepted. I have logged in as user "root" with a given password on both computers. When I set

Hi All: I'm worse than a newbie at this so if this seems a bit dumb please accept my appologies. I've gone to us1.samba.org/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.htm and run all of the tests. My installation appears to pass all of them except for this one: nmblookup -B ABNER Yes, Abner is all in uppercase on both the windoz box and the Linux box. All of the other tests appear fine. The above

I am having a problem with some Windows 95 PC's . I had Samba 2.0.5 installed on a Sun system with Solaris 6, and a local network of PC's with W95 and W98, and everything was working fine. I then installed a new server with Solaris 8, and changed the IP addresses on the network, and the W98 PC was fine as was one of the W95 PC's, but 2 W95Pc's cannot see the Samba share, if I do

Hi all, I have samba server 2.2.8a to act as a PDC on a mixed WinXP/Win2k/WinNT network. I joined all my workstations to the domain with no problem... And users can login into the domain and access their folders/printers, BUT!!! Every now and then they cannot log in getting error message that domain controller cannot be found.... I'm trying to track the problem down :-) When I went thru

Hi, I'm running (well trying really) samba on redhat 4.2. It installed automatically when I installed redhat, and everything appears to be running that needs to be on my linux machine. I am able to use samba locally (from my linux machine to my linux machine) but when I try to connect via my win95 machine, it doesn't find my linux box on the network. when I click on entire network, It

Hello, I have upgraded and installed the latest and greatest Samba RPM onto a Red Hat V9 computer. This is my Wins server. I can find computers on every VLAN but not the WINS server itself. On the Wins server I tried this command and received the correct response nmblookup -R -U <Ip of Wins server> <netbios name> I received an error message on the Wins server when I do a find

Hi all, Yesterday, i changed from samba 2.2.3 to samba 3.0, and also i changed the machines which samba is running on. Samba worked and should work as a PDC. It runs on a Debian sid, the test client is a notebook with XP Professional. Yesterday, immediately after migrating, everything worked fine. Even after several reboots, i could logon as a domain user, and i could use the shares. Today, i

It's really weird how many times thing break in threes. This time is was my wife's laptop, my router and a phone. Anyway... My network has a router and 2 computers; my F11 box with the samba server on it called steve and my wife's laptop now running Windows 7 called Kellie-PC. My old router was a Linksys WRT54G that I had flashed with DD-WRT. I was using DHCP and DNS masquerading in
