[Samba] Help - Moutning XP Drives on Linux box using.
Hey all. I've got four computers in a small network (Actually more, but keeping it simple to get to the point) 1 Linux Server (RH7.3) Running Samba (Default version with RH7.3) 2 Windows 2000 Workstation 3 Windows XP Pro. 4 Windows 98SE All of the windows boxes can connect, without problems, to the SAMBA server, and all the shares. No problems whatsoever. All boxes (with the exception of the 98 Box) have user accounts that match in user name and password, making everything work pretty smoothly. The 2000 and the XP box also have shares on them. All of the windows boxes can see each other, connect to the shares, no problem. Here is where it gets interesting; The Linux box can mount a share on the Windows 2000 box without problem. ( i.e. I can mount the \\w2Kbox\c$ to \mnt\net1 on the Linux box) However, I can't mount to the XP box in the same manner. It seems like M$ has built in some kind of noncompatability for Samba (Wouldn't surprise me there), or at least noncompatability with SMBMount (or 'mount -t smbfs' ) Here is a screenshot of what I am getting; [root@hoc etc]# mount -t smbfs -o username=malc,password=*** //bytelair/c$ /mnt/net1 5356: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed [root@hoc etc]# Note: The XP box does have an account malc that is an administrator, and I can connect using the same account and password to the c$ share from the windows 2000 box. Any help would be appreciated! Malcolm Jack Manager Systems Infrastructure / Telecom Let's Roll. . .
[Samba] SMBMOUNT to C$ Share on Windows XP. HELP!
Hey all! Ok, here's the deal. It's a little off topic as it centers more around mount and XP issues then actual Samba, but they all seem to tie together, sooo . . . I have a RH 6.2 Box running a Samba (2.0.10) server with no problems. I have a mixed network of Windows NT4, Win 98/95 Boxes, and Windows 2000 WS and Server. Everything was talking just fine. Not only could the M$ boxes see the Samba server, I could go the other way using mount -t smbfs. I use the format ' mount -t smbfs -o username=foo,password=bar //server/share /mnt ' It has worked just fine provided 2 things; 1 The share existed (This includes the NT/200 Administrative Shares (C$ D$) 2 I used a valid username/password on the box I was connecting TO (i.e. Local account on the NT box) Everything has been fine with NT, and 2000. Problem: I just upgraded a box to XP-Pro. Everything is fine going from XP to SAMBA, no problems at all. But SAMBA to XP is no longer working. Example below [root@hoc samba]# mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password= //bytelair/C$ /mnt/net1 tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess SMB connection failed [root@hoc samba]# It seems to me to be an access problem, that XP dosen't like the authentication token given, but Windows 2000 likes it fine. Any ideas? TIA! Malcolm
