smbclient cannot connect

ivanatora · 07-04-2004, 07:37 AM

Code:

$ smbclient -N -L freeman
Domain=[HALA] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME
$ nmblookup HALA
querying HALA on 10.10.10.255
querying HALA on 192.168.1.255
name_query failed to find name HALA

Here is the smb.conf (pasted from SWAT):

Code:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2004/07/04 15:39:01

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup = HOME
	server string = Samba Server
	log file = /var/log/samba.%m
	max log size = 50
	load printers = No
	local master = No
	dns proxy = No

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	printable = Yes
	browseable = No

I have nmbd and smbd -D running. What is wrong?

I'm guesseing that you have 2 computers called HALA on your network. Try adding:
netbios name = uniquepc

Then restart samba and query "uniquepc" instead of "HALA".

No, it is only one. It is on winXP if that does matter. Here are results from 2 more PCs, 1st on winME, 2nd on winXP too:

Code:

(16:13:08)[ivanatora@~]$ smbclient -N -L Nereza
session request to NEREZA failed (Called name not present)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present)
(16:13:12)[ivanatora@~]$ smbclient -N -L Joro
Domain=[DINALT] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME

In my /etc/hosts there are entries for Nereza and Joro, binding them to their local IPs (10.10.10.7 and 10.10.10.8). I have such for Freeman.

well i think the short answer is that sambaclient connects to samba server
and windows machine don't run samba server -- linux machines do.

you mount a windows share from linux like this

mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //server/share /mnt/share

well im assuming that u have already configured samba server write this command on terminal

[root @localhost root] smbclient -L //clientname

[root @ localhost root] mount /home/asd /has

its that simple

foo_bar_foo: I need smbclient at least to retrieve the list of windows shares. I can mount them later, but now I need only to view them. I doubt smbclient searches for samba server on the other side, well, samba is made to connect unix to windows shares. Windows doesn't have samba

PS. I just tried smbclient -L //deian and I got shares list. It runs win 98. But when I ty to list a winXP box, I got that error: tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME

Someone has a clue?

Hi I have the same problem and it seems if you have run win2l/xp with a dynamic ip as I did to start with
it seems stuck somewhere and you have 2 ip's.

I have restarted samba and the wintel box but it still shows up:

[bob@bear bob]$ nmblookup rob-copel
querying rob-copel on 192.168.1.255
192.168.1.99 rob-copel<00>

As you can see this box has two ips, although ipconfig /all shows only the correct ip
of 192.168.1.99

Any ideas how I get rid of the dynamic IP?
Cheers

I've just experienced this same problem, the fault lay with a missing DNS entry on the domain controller for the machine in question.

Adding a local entry to /etc/resolv.conf does not fix this, nor will it be fixed if the samba machine can resolve the domain, it also seems to need the PDC to be able to resolve it too.

HTH.
