Lost Samba/VNC/SSH on LAN!!
I recently modified a few bits a pieces on my home LAN and some of the wheels have fallen off!
What I Have:
==============
A Fedora Core 4 box running MythTv with a Samba share (for me to easily add photos and downloaded video content)
A Win2K box for "Wife friendly" operation, document preparation and photo manipulation..
A Dlink DI624 router....
What I did:
==============
The router died... I replaced it and reconfigured so taht to my knownledge everything seemed to be working. From outside my LAN I was able to access the MythTv webserver, get SSH sessions via puTTy and fire up a VNC session if absolutely necessary... Everything looked good....
THEN We acquired a new printer... A Network printer. - So Afetr making sure the Win2K box could sucessfully print to the printer over the network I figured I should prove to myself that I could get the Linux box to print too. I downloaded and installed the available linux drivers and fired up "CUPS" and created a print queue for the printer - everything looks good to me (although I havent actually tested a print - it CAN see the printer and is aware that its "idle").. I faffed about a bit trying to open and forward port 631 so I could check out the CUPS page from the outside - but to no avail - despite also modifiying the /Locations section of the cupsd.conf file to allow admin from other machines. THis wasnt a big deal so I return the cups .conf file to its original state and restarted CUPS...
Problem:
===============
Now when I tried to access the samba share from the windows box yesterday it wouldnt connect, I couldnt get a SSH session and I couldnt get a VNC session either (http server WAS accesible).. I've checked from work this morning and SSH and VNC access does work from here (outside LAN)....
Any ideas what I might have done and how I might go about diagnosing/fixing this?
