Network Path Not Found - Problem..!!
I have one linux box and one windows 2000 box. I have configured samba server and I am able to connect windows 2000 pc from Linux box. Also I am able to see linux box in my neighbour network but when I try to open it,
I get error message 'Network Path Not Found'. I am able to ping Linux box with IP as well as HostName say 'Linux1'. my smb.conf file is as below: [global] workgroup = essar server string = l2linux printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = cups log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 security = SHARE encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* pam password change = yes obey pam restrictions = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 guest ok = yes dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no printable = yes [home] comment = home path = /home writeable = yes guest ok = yes browseable = yes My Linux box is in 'essar' workgroup and windows 2000 pc is in 'workgroup' workgroup. 'net view and net use' command give same error. Please help me. thanks hiren. |
hmm... I had this problem while setting up my samba server...try changing encryptpasswords to off, though i think that problem occurred later on.
also, I think the "guest ok = yes" option belongs in individual shares. Try adding "socket address = <your.ip.number.here>" (if you don't use DHCP on the linux box) another thing to check is your windows networking settings. you should have TCP/IP bound to your LAN card, and you should have the "enable netbios over TCP/IP" box checked. you should NOT have netBEUI, IPX/SPX, or any other protocol. This is because Samba works with TCP/IP only, so you have to confugure your windoze box to do that too. MN |
Thanks mind,
I could resolve the problem by changing samba settings as you said. hiren |
