Hi, I've been trying to get SSH tunnelling working with Samba. I'm using a Windows XP and a RedHat 8.0 box. I've closely followed the instructions from the HOWTO manual in order to set this up to no avail. I think the problem comes from the fact that my lmhosts file has no effect on the NetBIOS name cache when I preload it with the command 'nbtstat -R'. I checked the

Everyone, I am hoping that someone can help me. I have been trying for several weeks to get Samba working to no avail. I have consulted many online help files including the ones located at http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/DIAGNOSIS.html, browsing.txt that comes with samba, http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf, and a few others. I have even posted a previous message, which

I recently reinstalled Linux on my fileserver (RedHat 7.2), which was running Samba (v 2.2.1a). Now, trying to reconfigure Samba back to its original state (silly me didn't keep a copy of the conf file) I've run into a problem. My win98 machines can't find the Samba server by name, but they can by number. By this I mean: On a Linux desktop, smbclient -L //marvin/ works as

Our office is trying to set up a samba server. But, we are having some difficulty with the installation. We have tried numerous things to no avail. I think we are getting closer to a solution, but I am unsure of where to go beyond this point. Our configuration is: Red Hat 7.2 IP address: 192.168.1.6 Samba Server: 2.2.1a Samba Server Name: SAMBASERVER Workgroup Name: ABOGEXAM etc/hosts file

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 I cannot get my Windows98 machines to connect to my Samba server(2.2.4) shares. It appears that my Win machines are not transmitting the password. The Samba server looks OK. On the server machine, "smbclient -L <server> -U user1" prompts me for a passwd, then, after authentication, displays the shares. When I attempt to map a share from my Win machines, the samba log file

Takahashi, thanks for your response. No antivirus software is installed, firewall disabled completely. I might have to go the sniffer route. But this is XP and Samba, both old products. I can't imagine that I'd be the first one to have such a ridiculous problem trying to get XP to be able to browse a Samba box. This is fresh WinXP right out of the box (with SP3) having this problem,

I have just speant several hours trying to nut out an error with a new installation of SAMBA 3, and the results may indicate something has changed with the way the Name Server (nmbd) responds to certain request. It could also be network stack related, but I am about at my limit of skills to diagnose it any further. I have just installed Fedora Core 1 to a test server in order to play around

I need some help from those folks I've seen on this list with the speed problems.

I have a printer - an HP 1120c - connected to my wife's Win98 machine. Occasionally I would like to print to that printer instead of the HP Laserjet 4+ connected to my Linux machine. Could someone explain a couple of things for me? 1. I am running Mandrake 6.0. When I start printtool, it complains that it does not believe Samba is installed. Why and how do I fix? 2. I ignore the message and

When the ISP goes down Windoze computers cannot map drives on the local SambaServer. Windoze reports the network as busy and inacessible. Non-SMB connections (e.g., telnet, ftp, ping) work; an instance of smbd -D appears on the process list for each machine attached; drives already mapped still work. log.MachineNames report read_data errors when this happens. Only asyncdns.c, a piece of

First, my installation is samba 2.2.8 running as a daemon (not inetd) on Solaris 8 configured to use a WINS server and provide authentication via a PDC (same host as WINS server).
