[Samba] XP-Problem - suddenly XP canot connect to samba

2002-10-11 Thread Dr. Bernd Zimmermann
Hi,

we had an XP computer running and connection to our
Samba -Server (Debian Version, 2.2.3 ) was working very fine.

Suddenly - the person who is working on that computer
changed something, but could not remember what -
the XP computer cannot see the samba server anymore.

In the windows network there is no samba server visible
Also "searching for the computer" does not work either
via netbios name and ip adress
The samba computer is still invisible

Tcpdumping on the samba computer shows no port 137,138,139
connections. Only connection from the xp computer to 224.0.1.22
(srvloc.mcast.net) we can see.

What happend to the XP computer ?

We tried everything. Checking TCP/IP , Registry, nearly everything,
but no way.

What could happend to the XP computer ??

We also deinstalled XP SRV Pack 1 ...

Please Help.

Thanks a lot.

Bernd

No thats not the problem. I checked it, and the security settings are 
not activated.
All ports and all protocols are open. All other NT and Win98 Bixes can 
connect.

As I written below, I started a tcpdump on the linux box an I saw that when
bowsing the network on the XP box, I can see packets going from the
XP box to 224.0.1.22 (srvloc.mcast.net), but no packets to the
usual port 137-139.
In the XP network neighborhood I also can see other Workgroups and
other Windows-PC but not the samba server.

I also remeber a case, where somebody told me, that he was playing with
a new XP installation - at the beginning everything worked fine an he also
could connect to his samba server, but then he klicked the option to
install the xp home network in the network assistant. From that point on
he also had the problem that the samba server disappeared and he wasnt
able to get it back to work. So he decided to swaitch back to Win98 ...

Isnt there anybody out there having the same problems ?
If its so easy to destroy the working samba connection with XP pressing
the worng button, the must be hundreds of people havin the sam problem.

As I told below, I alreday tried all registry hacks, disabling 
certificates, signing
and so on, but nothing worked.

Please help.

Bernd

2002-10-11 Thread Dr. Bernd Zimmermann

No I dont think so.

I looked at the box and could not see something like that,
but I also did not know who to activate bridging under XP.
Never saw that.

I still claim to the firewall theory. Another reader
had the same problem a week ago. And he find out it
was not enough to change the firewall policy.
M$ had made it difficult to connect to other systems.
You must quit the XP firewall completely.
Unfortunely I cant remember how he did it, but he said
it was not enogh to change the policity.

RE: Fwd: [Samba] XP-Problem - suddenly XP canot connect to samba

2002-10-12 Thread Noel Kelly
That might of been me.  I have been playing around with XP and Samba.  The
problem I had was that I changed the signorseal reg key and then
successfully joined the domain.  However on rebooting, the XP client simply
did not want to even entertain the idea of logging onto the domain it just
joined!

Eventually, I changed the Local Security Policy under the Control Panel.  In
there are three policies which seem to control talking to domain controllers
etc (Sorry I don't have  an XP machine in front of me so exact terminology
M$ use might be wrong).  Basically these policies say that when talking to
DCs etc to use Kerberos.  As soon as I changed these to simply 'Permit'
eveything cam good and I have had no further problems.  This is NOT the XP
firewall - that is changed elsewhere.  This is Security Policies.

I would be interested to know if this fixes this scenario.

I have not had the inclination to investigate it in more depth, but 2000Pro
seems to have similar policies but they do not interfere...

HTH 

Noel
