im useing slackware 10 with the samba 3.0.6 and for some reason i cant seem to connect to anything over the network.
im trying to connect to shares on a windows network useing linux, and whenever i type
Code:
smbclient -L workgroup
it gives me the error
Code:
Connection to workgroup failed
and when i try going to smb:/ in konquorer it doesnt display anything and when i try going to smb://workgroup/ in konqueror it says
Code:
Could not connect to host workgroup
but (this is the strange part) if i try going to smb://workgroup/ in firefox then it displays a list off all the computers on the windows network, anyone know why this would happen? heres a copy of my smb.conf file i have in /etc/samba/
Code:
[global]
netbios name = mycomputer
server string = "computer"
workgroup = workgroup
security = share
log file = /var/log/samba.log
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
#10.100 is the first numbers of my local network
hosts allow = 10.100. 127.
# only add as much of the number as necessary to identify the computers, localhost can be
# identified using only 127. a private network may require the first three numbers in the IP
# address.
hosts deny = ALL
invalid users = root
