Hi, I have a very strange problem with a new Windows XP Professional x64 client machine which will either hang or BSOD when I manipulate (move, copy, compress) a file on a mapped network drive BUT not when I navigate to the file through My Network Places i.e. selecting WORKGROUP -> FILESERVER -> Share2 -> Directory -> File. I have a mix of Windows PCs on my network including Win2K,

Hello, For my tests at home, I want configure a Samba server on a PC to allow others PCs clients to access to a share disk without login/password. >From XP home, I can access by network neighboring and by mounting a network drive, but from XP Pro, I can only mount a network drive.

Hi I'm experiencing trouble with a Samba 3.0.7 installation and Windows 2000 Professional clients that lose their network drives after some time. The Samba server is acting as a Domain Controller for a single subnet with about 10 clients (W2k Pro with Service Pack 2-4). At some (random) time after the login the clients all have the same problem: the network drive mappings die (sometimes a

Am using Kubuntu 6.06 to connect to a Windows XP Professional machine, both behind a natted router. The XP machine was installed from a new service pack 2 cdrom. I try to connect from kinda to winpro with a script run as root with the line: smbmount //winpro/c /mnt/winpro -o guest,uid=lba,gid=users This used to connect reliably but something happened :-( I also have a public share on the

I have been working on a a Linux server (file, printer, & PDC) for the last 6 months. I am currently using Fedora with Samba 3.0 as my server. I have an XP pro(xppro) and Win 98(winlin) machines on my small network. The file and print server seems to be working fine on both clients. However, my XP machine is not joining the the domain. Symptoms: 1. As I try to join the domain as a

Hi, I'm fairly new to administering Samba, and I'm using the version that came with RedHat 9.0, so here goes.... Using Window ME clients I can map drives to my home directory, access files and print on the (server) printer. However, using Windows XP Pro.... I can browse to the Samba server and map a drive and access files, but once the XP machine is rebooted it fails to reconnect to the

When adding machines to a Samba-2.2 controlled domain, the ?add user script? was used to create the UNIX identity of the Machine Trust Account. Samba-3 introduces a new ?add machine script? that must be specified for this purpose. Samba-3 will not fall back to using the ?add user script? in the absence of an ?add machine script?. > We have a very simple samba PDC setup using smbpasswd.

We have a very simple samba PDC setup using smbpasswd. About 10 days ago, I migrated from RH8/Samba2.2.7 to Fedora/Samba3.0.1 successfully. Now all morning, I've been trying to add another XP Pro PC to the domain without success. The following message appears after typing in the root id/password as part of joining the domain. The following error occured attempting to join the domain

Let's keep this on list please... See if you can connect as samba user from samba box... smbclient -L WHATEVER_YOUR_SERVER_NAME -U Administrator smbclient -L WHATEVER_YOUR_SERVER_NAME -U Michael but note - casing is rather odd and might be your problem. UNIX is case sensitive but Windows/Samba is not case sensitive... therefore Samba will see 'Michael' as 'michael' and

I am running smbd version 2.0.9 and cannot map to a samba share from a Windows 2000 SP2 Server. I can however map from the samba server to the win2k Server. I can also map from the Windows Server to a windows 2000 Pro laptop on the same network, so I know that the server can map shares outside of itself. I can also map from a Win2K pro client and from other unix boxes to the samba server. I can

Hi All I recently began having issues where there would be a runaway SMBD process listed in TOP, having a Pri of around 25, and using 70 to 95% CPU indefinitely. IPTRAF reports around 600kbps constantly in and out from the subject workstation, with nothing going on - on the workstation. This traffic is parallel to the runaway SMBD process ... the traffic dies when the SMBD process is

Hi !!!!! I have installed samba 3.5.4 on OpenSuSE 11.3. It's configured as a PDC with LDAP backend.The LDAP backend was populated with the help of smbldap-tools.

Hi all, I've got few NetBIOS aliases for samba server, one for each user's group: group1svr, group2svr and so on. Samba server is also domain master for my domain. Linux version is SuSe Linux 8.2, samba version is 3.. At the end of samba.conf file I've put last line as follow: include /etc/samba/server/%L/%U.conf. I've created following directories in /etc/samba

Thanks to Jason Balicki for the correct fix to this problem. The 'webclient' service in Windows XP, somehow interferes with access to the Samba server. With the service stopped and disabled, the clients are working again.

Hi- I'm having a recurring problem with Windows XP and a Samba share on logon. More specifically, I have a Samba (v 3.0.24 on Debian Etch) share with share permissions (not a domain) mapped to a drive in Windows XP Pro. Whenever someone logs onto an XP Pro computer in the network the drive isn't there. Here's an example: Say there's a document on the shared drive and a

On Monday (xmas day) samba was working fine. On Tuesday it wasn't. I didn't change anything on either the Fedora Core 6 machine (relay) nor the XP Pro machine (oob2). I followed all the steps in "Procedure 38.1. Diagnosing Your Samba Server", and until I got to step 8 everything worked fine. From the broken xp pro machine: oob2$ net view '\\relay' The Server

Have done everything according to samba PDC howto and still cannot join the domain. Anyone with XP Pro care to share their information on how to get the XP Pro workstation to join. I have Win98 and W2K to join okay. Also how do I get he login script to run? Thanks -- Jon L. Miller MMT Networks Pty Ltd Perth, Western Australia `When you say "I wrote a program that crashed

All: Not sure if this is an XP Pro issue or a samba issue. I am running v3.0.3 of the samba server acting as a Domain controller and file server. The problem that I run into is that every once in a while, while connected to the network the network shares go offline. I am running XP Pro SP2 and I am not really sure where to start to troubleshoot this. TIA Ron
