Greetings all!
I've been surfing around the forum for a while and have done mass amounts off googling, but STILL can't find an answer to my problem.
Hopefully you l33t people can help me out.
I'm running a FC2 server on my network.
It has an ftp server, http server, etc...
I can ping the server and it can ping anything else... not a problem.
The rest of the network is varing degrees of windows. mainly XP and Win2k.
So this is my problem -
I would really like to access files / print on the linux box from the windows machines on the network preferably through samba (I can already FTP/SSH in without a problem).
I have samba set up and configured (I think correctly, but obviously not because I have this problem), and CAN mount any share on any windows machine just fine.
The problem comes in when I try to access a share on the linux machine.
If I view the workgroup from a windows machine, the linux box shows up just fine. However when I try to access the box I get this message:
"\\LINUXBOX is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. blah blah...
The network path was not found"
I belive that I have correctly set up samba users and have set the permissions, but obviously I have failed somewhere.
I also don't understand, because I can access shares FROM the linux machine just fine.
Here is a copy of my smb.conf:
Code:
[global]
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = MYWG
# Netbios Name
netbios name = LINUXBOX
# Server sting
server string = Linux file server
# Samba Security Setting
security = user
#Use password encryption
encrypt password = yes
#Set master browser setting
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
password server = None
local master = no
# ========== Share Definitions =========
# Configure local shares
[netshare]
comment = Lan Stash Spot
path = /usr/netshare
guest ok = no
writeable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0765
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate the help.
After I figure this one out, I need to figure out how to get printing to work from the network as well. However i feel that will be a WHOLE other can of worms.
Thanks.
Ps. Sorry if this is a duplicate thread somewhere else on the board, have been unable to find anything similar to this problem.
