Hi Rowland >Sorry, but a dns domain is just as relevant for a home network as it is for >a work network, please use one Ok, thanks. I know this is well out of your area, but I wonder where I would specify the dns domain in Windows?

Hi Rowland Thanks for your review. I will check all the points you raise, but one I do not understand is: "do all machines have the same dns domain name?" What is the dns domain name in the context of a NetBios workgroup? The only dns I am aware of is the one provided by my ISP, and that won't be relevant I think.

Hi Rowland Thanks for your reply. I see: $ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters 127.0.1.1 RPHS So I guess I should edit the hosts file and specify RPHS's fixed IP address. I don't think domain name is relevant for a home network so I won't specify one. Will

Hi I have configured a Raspberry Pi (running Raspbian o/s) to act as a Samba server to share files with my home Windows workgroup. One of my Windows 7 laptops can see the share fine, but the other WIndows 7 laptop refuses to see the Pi server at all. I have checked all the obvious things (Workgroup name, password etc) and don't know what else to do. I would welcome any suggestions. In case it

Hi Rowland > (just a thought, you have given the Samba server a fixed ipaddress, > hostname and domain name, haven't you ?). The Pi has a fixed IP address and hostname. I see: $ cat /etc/hostname RPHS $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by resolvconf nameserver 208.67.222.123 nameserver 208.67.220.123 So the DNS seems arbitrary. I don't understand what the DNS should be for a

Hi As I've mentioned before, I have a simple Samba share running on a Raspberry Pi, accessed by a Windows workgroup. I've shown the main sections of my smb.conf file at the end of this email. My share is currently open to anyone who is connected to my network, which is not ideal. I would like to add some security but I don't understand how this should work. Should I: a) Create

When I run this command I am not prompted for a password, I just get the below error. # smbclient -U root //zmail/homes Error connecting to 10.0.0.14 (Connection refused) Connection to zmail failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) --- Now for the back story: CentOS v5.2 with Samba v3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 and Zimbra 5.0.11_GA on x86_64 hardware.

Hi I am still having trouble getting Windows 10 and Windows 7 laptops to communicate with a Samba server (4.1.17-Debian) running on Rasbian Jesse. Running Wireshark on one of the laptops I notice these sequential packet transfers: Laptop –> Pi BJNP Scanner command: discover Pi –> Laptop ICMP 'Destination unreachable (Port unreachable)' This happens even on a laptop

Hi Rowland > Possibly a firewall problem, temporarily turn off the firewall on the win7 > laptop that cannot see your rpi, if this works, you know where to look. Thanks for the suggestion. I disabled Kaspersky Internet Security Firewall and Windows Firewall but still can't see the rpi. I can, however, see the other Windows laptops (with firewall on or off). Any other thoughts

Dear all, Ubuntu 8.04 Server Samba 3.0.28a configured as PDC. I want to give options to samba users to change their own passwords and sync it with the unix passwords whenever they change it. I have used the following in my smb.conf file unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\ n

Hello there. I'm having an issue authenticating a Windows 7 (not in a domain) against a Samba 4.1.17 (debian Jessie). It appears that the client is trying to authenticate using with it's machine name and not the user filled in the auth form. I'm using security = user and I can confirm that the share is working with Win8. Could you check my conf & the error and share me your

smbclient reports there is a sharename 'l' that points to /usr/local/Documents on the host, but there is no reference to it in the smb.conf file. I have puzzled over this for days - I must have missed something obvious. Here is the output from smbclient, followed by the smb.conf file with all the comments removed. napoleon 526 ~ $ smbclient -L localhost Enter mike's password:

Hello everybody, I'm having trouble with samba 3.5.11 and an access 97 database. I work in a business with 5 users that use a mdb database over samba, and for the first to make a query everything works fine, but if some other user tries to make a query when the first one is doing it, the database works really slow, like if the .mdb file is being blocked (that's what I suppose).
