Hi,

I've read through many posts here but I did not find what I'm looking for.

Actually, I have a problem when trying to connect to shares of my WinXP Box from My Mdk10 server. I use Samba (as a PDC), DNS, IPTables, WINS, DHCPD, etc (the whole suite). Everything work properly except that.

I can ping both ways, my WinXP client is logged on the domain, I can use the DNS server properly from both server and clients.

From windows, in the network neighborhood - my domain, I can see my server but not my winxp computer (this may be a hint). On my XP client, I installed Windows network client, netbios. I do not use any firewall on my XP machine (disabled). I've checked and double checked my windows permissions and those of Norton Anti-Virus Internet worm protection...

Anybody have a hint, an idea or even better a solution?

If config files needed, please ask.

Louis

What kind of problem do you get?

Are you using smb4k? or you are going through the console (smbclient, smbmount, etc)? or anything else?

I have tried 3 differents gui clients (including smb4k) and I have configured all them right. I have also tried in console with smbclient without success either. It looks like my windows station is not reporting his shares but can see the samba shares of the server.

Well... normally, under this kind of circumstance, I would try to logon into the computer using smbclient.... not to use it, but to test logging in. If you are able to do that, then you could try with the gui applications.

try using the IP address of the XP box:
That is for a LOCAL user (I mean, one user of the XP box), not a domain user. In case you are using one domain for authentication, yuo would have to try:
-U domainname\username

If you are unable to login that way... then I would just throw away the windows box.
