similar to: Mshome "deactived" by samba?

I have an XP home (falcon) and an XP pro (tatooine) machine, both behind a rh9 box (hoth) acting as firewall. I've been trying to get samba set up on the linux box. I think I have it mostly working except that the XP boxes won't list hoth under "My Network Places - Microsoft Windows Network - MSHOME", and I cannot access hoth by name at all from the XP-pro box (by IP, I can

Greetings, I've used samba for many years now on various platforms and its worked very well.

Greetings, I'm having difficulty setting up an 'Anonymous Read-Write' SAMBA server on a new system with a stock FC2 installation for use with WinXP Pro systems. I'm using the following software on the 'fileserver': - Linux FC2 installed from the FC2 iso's: kernel 2.6.5-1.358 - samba-common-3.0.3-5 - samba-3.0.3-5 - samba-client-3.0.3-5 - samba-swat-3.0.3-5

I have a networking problem where I am not certain if the problem is samba or bind. I am still pretty much a nb at linux. The machine in question is running openSuSE 10.2 and is named rd1. I had samba working fine before I started to make it a WINS server and DNS host. I have a small LAN with no real administration functionality. The network is used for simple file sharing and dial-up

Hi (this is most likely a newbie question). A couple of problems. I have a linux guest (puppy) running on vmplayer on a friend's machine, which runs WinXP home. I have folder sharing enabled on the host for a few different folders. I am trying to mount the winxp host shared folders onto the linux guest. First problem is that I can't seem to see the shares. smbtree only lists the

List, I have a FreeBSD box with samba and two shares '\\bsd\foo' and '\\bsd\bar'. Each require a different password. (Different system user accounts and different corresponding samba account.) They both work. The problem is that from Windows 7 and windowsXP clients I can connect to '\\bsd\foo', but then I can never connect to '\\bsd\bar' until I restart. Thereafter

Hey fellas. I just installed samba and am having a problem. What I'm trying to achieve is hosting a file server for my lan. I don't want any login/password's to be used or any of that. The server box is running Debian linux and the clients are a mix of debian and winxp. On the server box I'm mounting the harddrives I want to share like this in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1

Greetings, I've been trying to use Samba in a virtual server configuration on one of my linux boxes and am running into trouble. My intention is to get a single samba server to act as 3 seperate servers (netbios names 'Audio', 'Video', 'Pictures') so that later they can be migrated to different machines with little effort. In reading the docs, lists, and available

I still have a few winXP clients that have usefullness. They seem to connect to the domain ok, but they can't see any of the

Hi, I'm having some trouble connecting the SMB networks on two LANs that are connected over a "slow" (DSL) link: Network B: 172.16.0.0/24 Domain B: office Network A: 172.16.1.0/24 Domain A: home gate.office and gate.home are the respective networks' NAT gateways connecting to the internet over ADSL lines. The private IP spaces are connected to each other via an ipsec tunnel

After upgrading my Debian box to Samba 3.0.23, I'm no longer able to connect to it from my Mac OS X 3.9 machine. I can still connect from the linux box TO the mac, but not the other way around. I need to be able to mount the linux volume on the mac. I've had to downgrade to samba 3.0.22 on linux to get it to work. My home network is a simple 2 machine setup with a wired connection. My
