thanks ... it now works with Windows NT, but not windows 2000 sp2 when I try with win2k: C:\>net use F: \\slackware\files /user:nigels nigel System error 1231 has occurred. The network location cannot be reached. For information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.
C:\>net use F: \\192.168.2.21\files /user:nigels nigel System error 51 has occurred. The remote computer is not available. I can ping this machine from the win2k machine by IP and host name, and can do: C:\>nbtstat -a slackware Local Area Connection: Node IpAddress: [192.168.2.20] Scope Id: [] NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table Name Type Status --------------------------------------------- SLACKWARE <00> UNIQUE Registered SLACKWARE <03> UNIQUE Registered SLACKWARE <20> UNIQUE Registered ..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered WORKGROUP <00> GROUP Registered WORKGROUP <1B> UNIQUE Registered WORKGROUP <1D> UNIQUE Registered WORKGROUP <1E> GROUP Registered MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 so, it seems the network is not the problem. any ideas? thanks Nigel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dirk ALLAERT" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2002 12:35 Subject: RE: [Samba] can't connect from windows > use encrypted mode or import the "EnablePlainTextPassword" reg key on > your workstation (you can find this in the source tar) > > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Verzonden: zo 19/05/2002 3:25 > Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > CC: > Onderwerp: [Samba] can't connect from windows > > > > Hello all, > > I've setup samba Version 2.2.0a on Slackware 8.0 > # uname -a > Linux slackware 2.4.5 #6 Fri Jun 22 01:38:20 PDT 2001 i686 > unknown > > I start samba as root from a console as: > /usr/sbin/smbd -D -d10 -l /var/adm/smblogs/log -s > /etc/samba/smb.conf > /usr/sbin/nmbd -D -d1 -s /etc/samba/smb.conf > > In smb.conf I have: > [files] > comment = mystuff > valid users = nigels > path = /usr1 > read only = no > public = yes > > I can connect to this share from another Linux machine on my > network. > However not from Windows 2000 or NT. > (eg using: "net use F: \\slackware\files /user:nigels nigel" ) > Windows NT reports: The account is not authorised to connect > from this station. > Windows 2000: The network location cannot be reached. > from both windows machines i can do this: > C:\>nbtstat -a slackware > Table de noms NetBIOS de la machine distante > > Nom Type Etat > --------------------------------------------- > SLACKWARE <00> UNIQUE Inscrit > SLACKWARE <03> UNIQUE Inscrit > SLACKWARE <20> UNIQUE Inscrit > ..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Inscrit > WORKGROUP <00> GROUP Inscrit > WORKGROUP <1B> UNIQUE Inscrit > WORKGROUP <1D> UNIQUE Inscrit > WORKGROUP <1E> GROUP Inscrit > > Adresse MAC = 00-00-00-00-00-00 > > C:\>nbtstat -c > > Table de nom de cache distant NetBIOS > > Nom Type Adresse d'hôte Vie [sec] > ------------------------------------------------------------ > SLACKWARE <00> UNIQUE 192.168.2.21 420 > WORKGROUP <1B> UNIQUE 192.168.2.21 420 > > "Slackware" is the hostname of the remote machine running samba. > > > Any ideas/suggestions on how to get this going ? > > TIA > Nigel. > > PS: The end of the samba.smdb logs look like this: > (super is the name of the windows NT machine) > > [2002/05/20 02:39:06, 4] lib/time.c:TimeInit(110) > Serverzone is -7200 > [2002/05/20 02:39:06, 10] > lib/util_sock.c:read_smb_length_return_keepalive(602) > got smb length of 68e directory, but read only, except for > people in > [2002/05/20 02:39:06, 10] lib/access.c:check_access(294) > check_access: allow = 192.168.2. 127., deny = > [2002/05/20 02:39:06, 3] lib/access.c:check_access(308)52) > check_access: no hostnames in host allow/deny list. > [2002/05/20 02:39:06, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(319)52) > Allowed connection from (192.168.2.23) > [2002/05/20 02:39:06, 6] smbd/process.c:process_smb(830)2) > got message type 0x81 of len 0x44 > [2002/05/20 02:39:06, 3] smbd/process.c:process_smb(831)2) > Transaction 0 of length 72 > [2002/05/20 02:39:06, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(94)52) > netbios connect: name1=SLACKWARE name2=SUPER > [2002/05/20 02:39:06, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(113)2) > netbios connect: local=slackware remote=super > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read > the > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba > > > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
