I have installed samba server one month ago and it was working fine till yesterday but today morning when any network client is trying to access samba shared files by giving smb://<serveripaddress> it is asking for password...that is ok but when he is giving the password it is again opening the same password window to enter password again.The clients are giving correct password that is confirm.At the server side i have run smbclient -L localhost -U% and that is giving proper response so that also means that samba server is working fine so i dont know what could be the problem and what its solution.Can anybody help me in this regard.Thank you in advance.
I am able to access the shares of other server and as per your suggestion i have changed the password also but that didn't worked.When i am giving smb://ipaddress it is taking a lot of time to open and then it is opening enter password window again and again.While the other server shares are opening quickly without any problem
Very sorry for the delay reply. I meant, try accessing the share from different workstations.
Or reboot the workstation from where you are accessing these shares.
