Nothing...
WinXP still giving error, except now it is "\\Jeff1 is not accessable. ...... The network path is not found."

Note: I changed the Netbios name.

For some reason I cannot find smbmount.

I do a locate and it does not find it...
I was thinking it was a part of another package..??
Anyone know the name of a package for smbmount so I can try some futher troubleshooting steps?

In Debian smbmount tool is a part of smbfs package.

Does smbtree displays the desired netbios name or it is still data?

Here is what is shows...

Code:

root@jeff1:/etc# smbtree

\\JEFF1                         Data (Samba 3.0.14a-Ubuntu)
             \\JEFF1\ADMIN$          IPC Service (Data (Samba 3.0.14a-Ubuntu))               
              \\JEFF1\IPC$              IPC Service (Data (Samba 3.0.14a-Ubuntu))                
              \\JEFF1\Data             Data share

Great, your machine's netbios name is jeff1. 'nmblookup jeff1' should display your IP address. You configured SAMBA successfully.

jaa1180 · 11-14-2005, 06:58 PM

Yep! Sure does...
Ok.. so now XP home should see it ok... right?

jaa1180 · 11-14-2005, 07:07 PM

I am doing something wrong... this was easier with Libranet.

Do not worry. Maybe post this problem with another topic and no replies? Think some competent people will pay attention on it rather then this. I myself avoid seeing topics with 20 replies

But IMHO it is windows' configuration, you have a good SAMBA.

I would agree... me no like Winders...

jaa1180 · 11-15-2005, 12:05 AM

Ok, nothing is working now...
What is going on?

Code:

root@jeff1:/home/jeff# smbtree
Password:
root@jeff1:/home/jeff#

Now there is nothing... I rebooted to see if that would fix the NFS problem. It did.
Now samba is not working...
What gives? I am going to dump this distro...

jaa1180 · 11-15-2005, 12:15 AM

I got it... the firewall started.
Now winders is working.

jaa1180 · 11-15-2005, 12:00 PM

Ok... DARN... it is not working again!
what is wrong with this thing?

Ygrex · 11-15-2005, 02:31 PM

I experienced problem when smbtree did not display my machine, meantime I (and anyone) could smbclient -L my machine and smbmount any my shared data. If smbmount works (I hope you fetched it already) fine, so your case is not so bad as it could be

jaa1180 · 11-16-2005, 12:45 AM

Ok... I did retreive the smbmount package and it appears to be working. Now the smbtree is working..?? Whatever, it is working. Thanks all. Now to get Cups share working...
