My personal workstation is a dual-boot setup with Gentoo and Windows XP. A long time ago, I set up Samba on another computer on my network to provide extra hard drive space to our Windows installations. They used to work, but we haven't used them in some time. I tried to use it today and it didn't work. When I try to connect to the samba share from my linux install, I get this:
mich...@camille ~ $ smbclient //carter//home Enter michael's password: Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.6] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME mich...@camille ~ $ smbclient //carter//michael Enter michael's password: Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.6] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME (The host name is carter, and I didn't understand what the second part should be.) Also, I didn't know if "michael's password" meant my password on my local box, my password on the remote box, or some password I set up for Samba forever ago... Here's my /etc/samba/smb.conf file: carter samba # cat smb.conf [global] workgroup = MYGROUP server string = Samba Server %v printcap name = cups load printers = yes printing = cups log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. map to guest = bad user security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = michael amy path = /samba [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes [print$] path = /var/lib/samba/printers browseable = yes read only = yes write list = @adm root guest ok = yes [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /samba read only = no public = yes valid users = michael amy I'm sure I've screwed something up somewhere, I'm just not sure what it is.
