Samba visible to windows, but not accessible.
I have tried everything I can think of to get this Samba share working. I originally used the KDE built-in GUI in my Centos 5 distro to configure smb.conf, but that wasn't working so I dove into the command line. Here is my smb.conf file:
[global] workgroup=funkytown server string = Welcome to Funkytown netbios name=asudermaserver interfaces = eth0 lo #hosts allow = 127. 192.168.12. 192.168.13. log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 security = user passdb backend = tdbsam #============================ Share Definitions =========================== [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes ; valid users = %S ; valid users = MYDOMAIN\%S [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no ; guest ok = no ; writable = No printable = yes [fileserve] path = /fileserve writeable = yes browseable = yes valid users = andy When I try to access the share from windows (map network drive //asudermaserver/fileserve with the correct username and password) I get a Network Path could not be found error. Also, the share is visible in my network connections under the workgroup FUNKYTOWN |
Alright, I figured it out. I disabled IPtables and it worked fine.

What version of Samba was it, and what version of Windows was it linking to? I'm trying to get SuSE 10's Samba 3.0.24 to connect to Windows Sever 2008, and as long as I don't put the server into a domain, it works, but only when I map drives. Just plain browsing doesn't work. And as soon as the server is set up in a domain, it doesn't work at all. I know Samba 3.2.x works with Server 2008, but I'm on the prowl for a simpler solution, as it'll take a while to update Samba on that box.

I'm not sure what version of Samba that was. That machine isn't running anymore. I was using CentOS 5.2 and connecting to XP Pro. I was never really able to browse my smb share either, just able to map the drive. I didn't really have any need to browse to the share.

By default, windows file sharing is disabled on purpose. Those protocols are often the source/cause of malicious mischief. When you open this door, make sure to limit access to your own network LAN. ~~~ 0;-Dan |
