Win 2000 cannot open LINUX box
 
:scratch: :scratch: After a bit of adjustment on win2k ,now I'm able to bring up the LINUX box.
____________________________________________________
The problem is I wanna get trough the box., cant see anything. //network path was not found.
____________________________________________________

Samba,lisa,NFS daemon are running OK on Fedora 4.
At first I cannot open the win2000 folder, from a lot of learning now I'm able to browse the Win2K.

So if there's someone can help me overcome this, I'll be grateful.

Many thanks in ADV.

So, are you trying to see your Linux Samba server from your Windows machine, or the other way around, or what?

Bobymc 05-14-2006 06:49 PM

Yup.

I run 2 compt on LAN
I can mount+wipe+delete+paste Win2k drive(folder) from my FEDORA desktop.

On the win2k machine I can do nothing on LINUX box, can't see anything.

pdeman2 05-14-2006 07:03 PM

Post your /etc/samba/smd.conf.

What do I missed/do ?:confused:

lleb 05-14-2006 08:57 PM

instead of setting up samba you could use winSCP

http://winscp.net/eng/download.php#download2

i am not saying do not learn samba, but in the mean time this tool is far more efficient as it always works as long as you have ssh running on your linux box and does not rely on MS pathetic attempt at networking to work properly.

Bobymc 05-15-2006 05:42 AM

Well thank you for plug-in.

I'd prefer to learn SAMBA server, I must know what I'm capable of.
I dont really like MS either.

I think I would solved this LAN problem I supposed,hopefully.

I'm just expecting someone on this board gives explanation on doing so.

pdeman2 05-15-2006 08:46 AM

After comparing your config file to mine, I noticed that there are some missing variables in yours. I don't know if any of these will make much of a difference, but I have some things you could try.

Try adding public = yes to your global section.

Bobymc 05-15-2006 11:09 AM

OK I'll try now.

Bobymc 05-15-2006 12:08 PM

Wich section? you mean this;

[global]
; public = yes
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = NOVELL

Still can't access.

I give alias to Netbios name UNIX to LINUX

now I have 3 box ;LINUX P1 UNIX, yet still cannot access.//network path was not found.

pdeman2 05-15-2006 02:33 PM

Yes, that is exactly where public = yes should be, but you commented it out. In Samba, # and ; are both read as comments.

Bobymc 05-16-2006 08:42 AM

Let's skip that for the moment.

Today I can open the compact Flash from win.
\home are not visible or accesible.

The CF contain DOS FS.
I assumed that LINUX directories are not visible to window, what do ya think?

Bobymc 05-16-2006 12:54 PM

I'm sharing this;

/media/CF
This works out

media/sda(Removable HDD)
This is not accesible

Although they're the same and only 1 device attach.

pdeman2 05-16-2006 04:52 PM

Then perhaps the configuration is not the issue. I don't think that it is that Windows cannot read Linux partitions. I run a file server that supports both FTP and SMB, all the partitions on this server are ext3. I used to run a Samba server with ReiserFS as well. I don't believe it is a filesystem issue.

Have you checked to make sure that the user that the Samba server runs as can read sda?

Bobymc 05-16-2006 06:38 PM

I thought you'll make that question.
I've checked, it's all the same 'permission'
