Flaky samba connetions
I just want to share folders betweem systems, nothing fancy using my Network GUI which is Nautilus 2.8.1
Both systems have user accounts with the same name of "craig" and the same user account passwords.
I created a user on the XP box called Linux with a password "linux" with a shared account called "linuxshare" I can use smbclient to mount this with the firewall turned off.
Firestarter: is set with to accept 137, 138, 139, 443, 445
ptables: there was a secession where I stopped iptables and connection came through. It's been many changes since and this doesn't work now. Actually I'm not sure if iptables is running at boot or not. #ps aux doesn't list it. I do get a notice from #/etc/init.d/iptables stop that it's shutting down the firewall.
Both computers are set up with the workgroup SUNRISE
The XP has a computer name titled: familypc
When Nautilus doesn't work the symptom is: It display the Windows Network icon. Clicking on this icon it almost instantly gives up the search and displays a blank window. When it is working it displays a "familypc" a "FC3"....I can not remember exactly but maybe a Sunrise icon too. From the FC3 box I can then access the /familypc/linux/linuxshare files. Usually the case is I get denied permission on the XP -> FC3 (but not always, just most of the time)
The connections between my FC3 machine and XP are working one minute and not working the next. The FC3 -> XP is the connection that I can get working but I'm not sure what I do that gets it working....I think it take a reboot. One would expect that just restarting the network &/ smb would do the trick, but it seems "at times" it takes a complete reboot. On the XP box side most of the time I'm being told that I don't have permission.
On the FC3 box I have a designated share stated in the smb.conf as /home/craig/craigshare
Here's my #testparm output:
