Config Samba, CUPS for Winders...
I know this is somewhere in the forums but I just can't find it.
I am trying to configure Samba so two Windows XP machines can get to a share and connect to a printer. I am just not having any luck and frustrated with the difficultness of getting this setup. Will post smb.conf Any thing else to post? Any links to get this setup? |
Can you install and use webmin? It is a GUI frontend for a lot of tools, samba being one of them.
Later :D :D :D :D :D |
I assume the printer is connected to the Samba box, am I right?
|
Sorry, yea the printer is connected to the Samba box.
I have it setup and working fine on the server. Need to share it out with the two winders machines. No, I have not tried webadmin yet. I was trying to hand edit the samba smb.conf file. I forgot to mention... I am using Debian Sarge. |
Here is my smb.conf
Code:
# Samba config file created using SWAT |
Ideas?
Everytime my XP laptop tries to connect to the data share, I get the message Quote:

Tried Webmin.. nope..
|
I got the error and it turned out the ports were blocked. I use iptables and after I unblocked them it worked fine. May want to check that if you can. Also, make sure windoze is not blocking it too. Be funny if they both are blocking the ports.
Let me know what you find out. I'm not a big time guru though. :D :D :D :D :D |

I used Webmin and everything should be good... made some minor changes. According to most every website, it should be working. As long as you know the answer, the title of guru is null... right? ;) |

When you make changes to samba, don't forget to restart it too. I did that once. :scratch: Silly me. ;) If that doesn't work, I would really start looking at firewalls and such. Something is blocking it somewhere. I cut my wifes off a little while to test it. It turned out that it was mine that was blocking because I had them all set to stealth and winders didn't like it or something. This may help if you want to read it. It starts where we started talking about the routing stuff. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p...0.html#3351020 Later :D :D :D :D :D |
Oh, this may help too.

Nope. I went into Webmin, it said no firewall rules setup. I told it to allow all....
Restarted networking and SMB... same thing. |
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination |
That is what mine says....
|
Ok, get this... I installed firestarter and watched. Allowed the needed IPs and now one PC is connecting to the share fine.
However the XP Home laptop, wireless, is not working. Rebooted.. no workee. Put in the wire, just in case, still no workee... |
