Samba and Windows Shared
I am having issues accessing my Windows shared folders from my SuSE machine. I can see the Samba shared folders from my Windows machine, but I cant see them from my SuSE machine. Also I cannot print to me Windows printer either I believe that I have to configure CUPS for that. Anyone have some suggestions for me? Thanks.

Can you post your smb.conf file?

I cannot see my Windows files from my SuSE machine,and I cannot print to my Windows machine.Here is a copy of my Samba conf :
# Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2008/02/18 08:43:46 [global] netbios name = SUSE map to guest = Bad User printcap name = cups logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon drive = P: logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile os level = 2 preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No usershare allow guests = Yes hosts allow = 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 printing = cups cups options = raw print command = lpq command = %p lprm command = include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S, %D%w%S read only = No inherit acls = Yes browseable = No [profiles] comment = Network Profiles Service path = %H read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 store dos attributes = Yes [joe_stuff] comment = All users path = /home/ read only = No inherit acls = Yes guest ok = Yes veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/ [groups] comment = All groups path = /home/groups read only = No inherit acls = Yes [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin, root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 |
Try change
Code:
preferred master = No Code:
preferred master = Yes |
I am still not seeing anything from my SuSE machine I get timeout error on my Worgroup folder. Am I trying to access it the Windows shared folders the wrong way ? I have just been going to my computer>networkfolders>SMBShares ?

Did you restart the samba daemon after you made changes? Also, here is a snippet of my smb.conf file. Try using it as a reference.
Code:
# Samba config file created using SWAT |
I think thats part of the problem.My samba.conf is just so messed up. Do you think if I copy your conf, verbatim it will work. I know that my workgroup name and that stuff will be different.

I would think that it would work, it works on my network. My network has an Xbox running xbmc, a dual boot (windows and fedora core), modded PS2 running SMS, and they all see all my samba shares.

wow thats the exact same set up I have except I have the 360 on it too. Anyways Im going to change everything to what you have and see if that works. thanks for the help.
