Samba Error message, cannot connect from Windows

jaa1180 · 11-12-2005, 11:52 AM

I am having a problem with getting Samba to work right.
when I try using the smbclient to test, I get...

Code:

jeff@jeff1:~$ smbclient '//172.16.0.50/mnt/data'
Password: 
Domain=[AVVEDUTI] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.14a-Ubuntu]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

for the password... I try nothing or the only password used on the system.

From the XP home desktop, it does not see the server path... Network path could not be found....

Here is my smb.conf....

Code:

# Samba config file created using SWAT

[cp]
        comment = Canon IP3000
        path = /tmp
        guest ok = Yes
        printable = Yes

Any ideas???

Using Ubunty 5.10.. by the way.

The service 'mnt/data' does not exists try 'smbclient -L 172.16.0.50' to see all accessed services.

jaa1180 · 11-12-2005, 01:58 PM

Ok.

Code:

jeff@jeff1:~$ smbclient -L 172.16.0.50

Here is my fstab...

Code:

jeff@jeff1:~$ cat /etc/fstab

Data is mounted..
I set the user 'nobody' to no password required.

It seems smbd works well and you can mount yourself without any problems

Win32 cannot find you machine for IMHO nmbd does not run, am I right?

jaa1180 · 11-12-2005, 03:02 PM

From SWAT...
version: 3.0.14a-Ubuntu
smbd: running
nmbd: running
winbindd: not running

As Ygrex posted you used the wrong share name. The share from your smb.conf file is
data.
Try:
smbclient //172.16.0.50/data

Ygrex · 11-12-2005, 03:28 PM

I do not know the matter, for I am not an administrator.
The only thing I noticed is a netmask, you have 255.255.0.0 meantime my own is 255.255.255.0, but I do not know even approximately what does netmask influence on :-P
By the way the latest released SAMBA is 3.0.20b

More info...

Code:

root@jeff1:/home/jeff# nmblookup -A 172.16.0.50

Interesting...
Does this help anyone?

jaa1180 · 11-12-2005, 03:40 PM

Ok... sorry. I tried and got...

Code:

root@jeff1:/home/jeff# smbclient //172.16.0.50/data
Password:
tree connect failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF)

Ygrex · 11-12-2005, 03:49 PM

Oh, if you are about that:

smbmount //172.16.0.50/data ~/foo

Also, as it seems, you can use 'data' insteat of '172.16.0.50'
And another question, does 'smbtree -NS' shows your machine?

jaa1180 · 11-12-2005, 04:59 PM

Interesting...

Code:

root@jeff1:/mnt/data# smbtree -NS
AVVEDUTI
        \\LADYBUG                       Ladybug's computer...
        \\DATA                          jeff1 server (Samba, Ubuntu)

It should be \\jeff1.....
The host name is,

Code:

root@jeff1:/mnt/data# cat /etc/hostname
jeff1

jaa1180 · 11-12-2005, 05:05 PM

I changed the netbios name to Jeff1 and restarted the services...
Nothing...
WinXP still giving error, except now it is "\\Jeff1 is not accessable. ...... The network path is not found."

michaelk · 11-12-2005, 05:11 PM

samba uses the hostname as default for the net bios name. Your name is DATA due the smb.conf statement:
netbios name = DATA

Does smbmount //data/data produce the same error?

Ygrex · 11-12-2005, 05:22 PM

But if 'smbmount //data/data ~/foo' works fine so there is no problem with samba, configure windoze.
