How do you change samba workgroup subnet ip address on centos7

tldixontl · 09-19-2020, 09:40 AM

I am using Centos7 and installed samba and was able to successfully map to my windows box. When I rebooted my windows box the ip address changed. Now my workgroup subnet IP does not match now and I do not know how to change it to match the new IP
The command that initially worked was:

mount.cifs //192.168.1.195

The ip changed to 192.168.1.158 and then I ran

mount.cifs //192.168.1.158 but did not work

It looks like the same subnet as before though. What is your network prefix or netmask? On Linux, find out with the ip address command.
While Windows networking is black art to me, I don't think that workgroups have subnet IPs or are related to subnets.

What are the failure symptoms?

Use ping 192.168.1.158 to confirm basic network connectivity. Then try smbclient -L //192.168.1.158 to list all shares on that computer.

Mark it as SOLVED (see the Thread Tools menu) and write a few words about the solution.
