*another* samba client related question
I'm new to samba and am trying to learn. I'm not sure what the problem is. I have a share called linux on my drive. Here's the windows side:
H:\>net view 192.168.1.1 Shared resources at 192.168.1.1 Share name Type Used as Comment ----------------------------------- Breifcase Disk linux Disk The command completed successfully. H:\> I can do a start-run \\192.168.1.1 and I see the share. I jump over to my Linux box (RH9) to connect. Here's the output: # rpm -q samba-client samba-client-2.2.7a-7.9.0 # # smbmount //192.168.1.1/linux$ /mnt/xpbox/ Error connecting to 192.168.1.1 (Connection refused) 1883: Connection to 192.168.1.1 failed SMB connection failed # It seems like it's trying, but it won't connect. I then tried this: I created a user on the windows box called 'linuxbox' with a password of password. I then typed in: # mount -t smbfs -o username=linuxbox,password=password //192.168.1.1/linux /mnt/xpbox Error connecting to 192.168.1.1 (Connection refused) 1890: Connection to 192.168.1.1 failed SMB connection failed # Am I missing something simple? What's the next step in trouble-shooting this? Any ideas? All help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave |
try this first- on linux edit /etc/lmhosts with windows IP and computer name, then try same thing in /etc/hosts
|
I already made the entry in the /etc/hosts. Pessimistically, I went ahead and edited the lmhosts file as well (in /etc/samba/lmhosts). I even copied it to /etc, but nogo. I appreciate the suggestion. Anything else you can think of? Especially related with the Micr$oft box?
It seems to me that this has to be a XP box issue, but it seems like if it is, others should have run into it as well. I went ahead and configured samba on my linux host and I can connect to its share without problem from the xp box, but I cannot connect to the smb/cifs share on the XP box from the Linux host. Any other ideas? |
reset all defaults in smb.conf - configure both machines to be in the same workgroup - make sure you have something shared in XP - run this command ]smbclient -L (windos name or IP) - when asked for password press <enter> - what happens?
