File sharing using Samba
Please help. I'm trying to use Samba to share files between a Windows XP Home machine and a Linux machine (Fedora Core 2). Printing and Internet access work fine (the Windows machine is connected to the Internet and to the printer). But I can't get file sharing to work. When I go in Windows Explorer, it shows Mygroup, but when I click on it, the machine hangs up.
Here's my smb.comf: [global] workgroup = mygroup server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168.0.1 printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes cups options = raw log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 username map = /etc/samba/smbusers password server = None guest ok = yes dns proxy = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes writeable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no printable = yes [adam] path = /home/adam browseable = yes writeable = yes guest ok = yes Thanks very much. |
Is the windows box 192.168.0.1?
What's in /var/log/samba/%m.log? (%m is the connecting machine name) |
Yes, the Windows box is 192.168.0.1.
I can't open the log files. When I double click, I get a message that it could not display; the attempt to log in failed. When I right click, the icon disappears. |

Try a terminal and more /var/log/samba/machineName.log to see the whole file, or tail /var/log/samba/machineName.log to see the last 10 lines of it. |
/var/log/samba has nmbd.log nmbd.log.1 nmbd.log.2 smbd.log smbd.log.1 smbd.log.2. Here is nmbd.log.2:
