Samba share
Hello,
I installed and configured samba on a Centos 5.0 server and created a share [backup] that i want to make available in our windows environment. I am using the following smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN Netbios name = SERVERNAME realm = XX.DOMAIN.NET preferred master = no server string = Samba file and print server security = ADS encrypt passwords = yes log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/%m max log size = 50 printcap name = cups printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no printable = yes guest ok = no writable = no [backup] comment = share backup files path = /home/share public = no writable = yes browseable = yes printable = no create mask = 0765 I added the samba server to the windows 2003 domain (net ads join), but when i am trying to access the samba share through windows explorer i get the following message "no network provider accepted the given network path". I already checked the following: -i used testparm to check the smb.conf file -i ran "kinit" to check kerboros -i confirmed that our samba server was available in Active directory -i used "smb status" to check that the samba service is running I searched several websites in order to solve my problem, but i can't seem to get it work. Any help will be appriceated. TIA |
Did you open the relevant ports on the firewall?
|
Which ports should be open? I didn't open any ports on the firewall, as i can reach the samba server with a PING ipaddress.
|
Sure, but ping uses ICMP type 8.
You need to check (try google), but ports 137-139 and sometimes port 445. I honestly can't recall if you need udp and tcp or not |
You were right about the firewall. I added port 137-139 and 445 in the iptables file, and after a restart i was able to access my share through windows explorer. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
For those who have the same problem i include an URL, where to read how to adjust the iptable file: http://troy.jdmz.net/samba/fw/ |
