I just upgraded my system to Fedora Core 7 from Core 6 and I find that now Samba doesn't seem to be working for me anymore. If I try to connect from my laptop computer running Windows XP I just get one shared folder that has only a few subfolders (probably because offline files is turned on). If I try to connect by using the IP address (\\192.168.0.5) it tells me that it's not accessible and that the network path was not found. Additionally, I can't even browse the workgroup from this computer. I get "The server is not configured for transactions."
Next I tried connecting from my other computer, also running Windows XP, that doesn't have offline files turned on. The error that comes back says "The Server service is not started." If I try to connect by IP address, it asks for a username and password then says "A device attached to the system is not functioning." I can browse the workgroup from this computer. I tried connecting to the Samba server from the computer it's installed on. When I type \\honestabe into Konqueror it gives me a list of shared folders, but when I click on one it gives me "The file or folder smb://honestabe/pub does not exist. I have tried downgrading to the last version of Samba I was using and even tried upgrading to the newest version on the samba.org website (3.0.25b-3). Nothing seems to work, and my smb.conf file hasn't changed at all. Both computers were able to connect before the upgrade.

Google searches have proved fruitless and I've found out nothing useful by running smbclient and nmblookup commands. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
