Don't know if this will help but...
I have a 2 box network, Wheezy and Win2K, cable connected and able to
access directories on the Win2K box from Debian.
Never needed to go the other way.
The Linux box is named playground, the Win2K box South40.
There is a router between them but it's not necessary (belt&suspenders).
On the Linux side:
These packages installed:
cifs-utils
libfilesys-smbclient-perl
libsmbclient
samba-common
samba-common-bin
smbclient
/etc/hosts has these entries.
192.168.1.1 router
192.168.1.2 playground play
192.168.1.3 south40 s40
/etc/hostname contains:
playground
/etc/network/interfaces has these lines:
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
/etc/fstab has these entries:
//south40/H$/docs /south40/docs cifs
noauto,rw,user,credentials=/home/mike/smb.psswd,uid=1000,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,nounix,noserverino
0 0
//south40/I$/MP3s /south40/MP3s cifs
noauto,rw,user,credentials=/home/mike/smb.psswd,uid=1000,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,nounix,noserverino
0 0
# docs & MP3s on different partitions
/home/mike/smb.psswd has 600 permissions and contains:
username=Win2K_user
password=Win2K_password
I have a small iptables firewall that must allow traffic to/from Win2K.
To access the Win2K files:
root@/deb73:/> mount /south40/docs
On the Win2K side:
StartMenu/ControlPanel/System/NetworkID/Properties:
Computer Name = south40
Member of workgroup = WORKGROUP
StartMenu/ControlPanel/System/NetworkID/NetworkID: launches wizard
Home use, Users must enter user name and password
StartMenu/Control Panel/Internet Options/Internet Properties/Security/Local
Intranet/Sites/Advanced/:
192.168.1.1
192.168.1.2
StartMenu/Settings/Network and Dial-up Connections/Local Area Connection
right click
Properties check:
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer sharing
Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)
select Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)/Properties:
Use the following IP address:
IP Addr: 192.168.1.3
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.2
Use the following DNS server addresses:
Prefered DSN: 208.67.222.222
Alternate: 208.67.220.220
select Advanced/WINS/Enable NETBIOS over TCP/IP
create C:\shared & shared it (only used with smbclient to pass files back &
forth).
C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts: 192.168.1.2 playground
HTH,
Mike
