SMB problem
 

Hi all.. I am using Suse 9.1 and I love it. The problem is I would like to share a network printer that is on a Windows server. I have setup a share folder on the server and one on my laptop as a test. In smb, I can connect to my laptop share fine, but when I try to connect to the share on my windows server it prompts me for a username and password. When I put the correct username and password in and hit connect, it tells my my protocal die unexpectly.

Like I said, I can connect to my laptop fine via smb just not my server. Does smb treat Windows Server differently then Windows XP shares? I have tried everything and do not understand what I am missing.. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again for being a great forum. That is one of the main reasons i want to switch to linux, everyone is here to help.

Xp and server act almost the same with respect to samba.

The username and password for samba should match the username and pass for windows server.

Hi .. The username and password I am supplying for SMB is the same for the Windows server and I am still getting the protocal died unexpectly... Anyother Ideas?

Thanks

Hi... I changed the username and pass to something different and I can now see the printer, but every time I try to configure the printer... The Cups hangs and does not respond. Could this be a router problem? Network issue instead of a program issue? Just wondering... Thanks for all your help guys:newbie:

Is your printer listed on the linux HCL?
