Hi,
I'm trying to get a Samba (version 3.0.8pre1-0.pre1.3) to play with some WinXP boxes. I'm using WORKGROUPS, not DOMAIN. The server is running under Fedora Core 3. And I'm following the troubleshooting chapter in the O'Reilly book, Chapter 9.
I cannot browse the shares from my WinXP machine. I CAN browse and access shares okay as a client on the Samba server machine.
I may have a combination of network and/or authentiation problems.
I keep getting an "Error 5: Network path was not found" when attempting to see my "tmp" share on the server from the WinXP client. Googling this error tells me that it's an authentication problem.
I have password encryption turned on in smb.conf. And I have the identical username/password on the linux box and the WinXP box. And I have the same username/password set in the Samba password file via smbpasswd.
Even setting the password to null for a samba user doesn't work.
On another note, I'm thinking address resolution isn't working correctly.
When I attempt a "nmblookup -B clientname '*' (where I type in "europa" for the clientmame) I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]$ nmblookup -B europa '*' querying * on 192.168.1.104 name_query failed to find name *
(I have europa entered in my linux/samba server's /etc/hosts file.)
This is supposed to indicate a spelling error, or the client software on the PC isn't installed, started or bound to TCP/IP.
My smb.conf file has:
[global]
# no printers for now
load printers = no# map drive
logon drive = S:# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = jupiterserver string = SambaServer

# DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config, /etc/nsswitch.conf
# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!
# The example below excludes use of name resolution for machines that are NOT
# on the local network segment
# - OR - are not deliberately to be known via lmhosts or via WINS.

The Samba book suggests testing the network using the nmblookup command to test the ability of programs to use broadcast (when all else fails, presumably).
But I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]$ nmblookup -d 2 '*' added interface ip=192.168.1.11 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 querying * on 192.168.1.255 name_query failed to find name *
It ought to find the client "europa" (192.168.1.104).
On the client europa, I have
- Client for Microsoft Networks - File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks - QoS Packet Scheduler - Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
checkboxes clicked.
Any ideas?
