I am trying to get Samba 3.4.0 (on an Ubuntu 9.10 box) set up as a file server for my home. The router is 10.1.10.1; the Ubuntu box ("chronicles") is 10.1.10.2; the OS X box I'm using for testing purposes ("job") is 10.1.10.3. From job, I can see ports 139 and 445 on chronicles are open. Neither box has 'chronicles' or 'job' listed in its /etc/hosts file.

Hi, I would be very grateful if anyone could give me a bit of help with this. I am trying to run Samba 3.0.5, as distributed with Mac OS X server 10.3.8, on an Apple Xserve.

At present, the situation seems to be that the smb protocol is operating, since I can make an smb

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

Folks, I am stumped! I have followed every tech tip I could find and I am still unable to complete my SMB installation. Specifically, I fail Test 4 and Tests 9 and 10. I believe the problem has something to do with the NMBD configuration. Below are the parameters of our system. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Troubleshooting steps fail. Trying to replace a standalone Netware server with a Samba4 server with AD. To isolate this test setup, changed server's static IP address and separated the wiring. Then went through the Troubleshooting portion of The Samba Checklist. Some tests pass. Some tests fail. I'm weak on Samba, DNS and AD. I appreciate your instructions on how to overcome the

Folks, This is a strange problem, and I'm not sure this is the right place for it, so feel free point me to a better location. I'm running FC3 and Samba 3.0.14a. The problem is this: when I boot up my Linux box, and it gets to the point of turning on my NIC (eth0), where the PC used to turn it right on and continue, now there's an inordinately long delay in getting eth0 to

Hi Everyone, >From windows 2K, machine I could see Samba server but I can't get its share.

I've got Samba 2.2.2 installed and running fine on one of our servers (RS/6000 AIX 4.3.3 and using NT authentication), however, when I do Test #4 (from docs/textdocs/DIAGNOSIS.txt) it looks like this: npssrv{root}#nmblookup -B npssrv _SAMBA_ querying _SAMBA_ on 173.148.200.113 name_query failed to find name _SAMBA_ The test said I should get back the IP address of our samba server.

Ok... I'm really stumped. I have checked thoroughly. I've performed all of the steps in the checklist from the HowTo... except for the nmblookup parts. The arguments to nmblookup seem to be based on an old version. I'm hoping someone will have an idea. Here's the whole situation...

Hi, I'm trying to use Samba to share files between a PC running Windows 2000 Professional and a Linux machine running Fedora Core 2 (recently installed). Of course, it's not working.

Well I'm using xinetd
