I am a newbie to samba and linux. I configured smb.conf and now I can browse Linux share from NT and windows machines. But when I try to catch NT share trough linux it gives the following message. When browse through Nautilus I can go up to shared directories. From prompt I tried out smbclient as follws and it give the following message. Pl help me.

[root@nilantha samba]# smbclient //internal/slarmy -U nilantha
added interface ip=202.51.141.134 bcast=202.51.141.143 nmask=255.255.255.240
Got a positive name query response from 202.51.141.142 ( 202.51.141.142 202.51.141.141 )

you couldn't let us have a copy of your smb.conf file as a starters reference could you. ive been struggling with NT/Linux via Samba for some time and still can't get the ***** thing to work!

either samba could not resolve the system name internal OR it could not find the slarmy share

yup had the same problem.. but after a lot of frustrating tweaks voila! it works now!.. don't even remember how i did it exactly.. just know that i fixed smbd and nmbd services... you might want to check that out too...

Had the same problem ... spent the better part of a day trying to work through it. For me, the error message set me up for failure by leading me down the wrong path looking for a solution. The real underlying problem was directory permissions two directories above in the path.

Be sure the entire path has at least golbal 'read' permissions set!

A quick 'chmod 755 dir' solved the problem for me. Zounds!
