Re: [Samba] Can XP Home really Samba ?
Hi, I guess XP Home can Samba if McAfee allows it. I was able to access the Samba shares after I completly removed the McAfee firewall. Exiting the firewall and stopping the services proved to be of no use and caused me endless grief. I reluctantly gave it a shot since you expect the firewall to stop poking its nose after it is disabled and the services stopped and I was not expecting this weird behaviour. Thanks to all the kind folks who have helped me out with suggestions. -Venkata.

Re: [Samba] Can XP Home really Samba ?
Hi, Do I need a WINS server in a Workgroup ? I was going through the Samba Reference and it says that the same Samba installation cannot funtion as a WINS server. However, if XP home can work as a client and WINS server I will try it today . Moreoevr, I am giving the IP address of the server on which the share is present. I was under the impression that WINS is just for name to IP resolution. Thanks, -Venkata.

However, my experiences over the past 2 weeks have left me with a real doubt. All I want is a simple share from my Linux box to the XP Home machine with no password. I have set guest ok = yes, enabled cleartext password in both Samba and XP. I have a common account in both XP and Linux and nothing seems to work. Initially XP client would start using port 80 for communicating with the server after some kind folks suggsted in this list, I disabled the XP webclient service and now atleast XP client tries to use the netbios port when I do a net use from the XP command shell. I have the following problems 1)XP Home will not show the Linux server in Network Neighbourhood (if it is Local Master browser) and shows nothing if it losses election. 2)Since I know the IP address of the Samba server doing a net use with the IP address like net use b: \\192.168.0.4\Apache results in a System error 1 on the XP box. 3)I see lot of UDP inquiry messages and responses and I see an incoming reuest handled by NMB and it response in the log. However, I do not see any activity in the SMB log. If XP Home cannot really interoperate with Samba then I will just drop this and use SFTP :( . Thanks, -Venkata. What are your wins server entries in the XP machine when you do ipconfig /all?

Re: [Samba] Can XP Home really Samba ?
Hi, To get around the probelm of Firewall, I disabled firewall on the WLAN interface and stopped the firewall service. I also stopped the McAfee firewall service. On a related issue, I am using ethereal to capture packets. It shows packets from the Linux box. I want to know whether the packets captured are before hitting the firewall or are they captured after passing thourgh the firewall (I am assuming that they are before the firewall, straight off the interface). I have flushed the iptables on the Linux box just to be sure. -Venkata.

[Samba] XP Home client problems.
Hi, Please ignore this mail if you have already received this mail before. I have been trying for 2 frustrating weeks to get my XP Home machine to talk to the Samba server on my SuSE 9.2 Linux box. Described below is the crux of the problem. When I do an smbclient on the Linux box I can see the Windows machine listed. However, when I do a net view on the Windows XP Home machine I do not see the Samba box. Also, I get a System 1 error on the XP machine if the XP is not the Local Master Browser and, if it is only the XP machine is visible in the output of the net view. I have removed all firewall services, enabled cleartext password in XP and enabled guest access and no encryption in Samba. Also, I have disabled the firewall on the Linux box. I don't know whether this will be of any use in debugging, When I do a net use on the XP box, and monitor the IP flow, I see traffic destined to port 80 on the Linux box from the XP box. I got the setup to work, however, after a reboot of the XP box I am back to the square one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Venkata. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
