problem with samba shares in kde
 
In my network are two computers: one with Arch Linux and KDE 3.5.7 (kdemod) and second with Win XP, which shares internet connection with arch. Everything works fine on Arch (internet, share files), but I formated Win XP and now internet share is ok, but when I trying "smb:/" in konqueror I get an error: "Unable to find any workgroups in your local network. This might be caused by an enabled firewall."

But I haven't got any firewall installed. Workgroup name and /etc/hosts is correctly, smb://name or smb://ip doesn't work.

This is my smb.conf but it shouldn't be needed because I use only kde with kioslave:

Code:

#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: MIDEARTH
  workgroup = GRUPA_ROBOCZA

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
  server string = Samba Server

# Security mode. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible
# values are share, user, server, domain and ads. Most people will want
# user level security. See the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for details.
  security = user

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
;  hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.

# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
  load printers = yes

# you may wish to override the location of the printcap file
;  printcap name = /etc/printcap

# on SystemV system setting printcap name to lpstat should allow
# you to automatically obtain a printer list from the SystemV spool
# system
;  printcap name = lpstat

# It should not be necessary to specify the print system type unless
# it is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, cups, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
;  printing = cups

# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd
# otherwise the user "nobody" is used
;  guest account = pcguest

# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
  log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
  max log size = 50

# Use password server option only with security = server
# The argument list may include:
#  password server = My_PDC_Name [My_BDC_Name] [My_Next_BDC_Name]
# or to auto-locate the domain controller/s
#  password server = *
;  password server = <NT-Server-Name>

# Use the realm option only with security = ads
# Specifies the Active Directory realm the host is part of
;  realm = MY_REALM

# Backend to store user information in. New installations should
# use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards
# compatibility. tdbsam requires no further configuration.
;  passdb backend = tdbsam

# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration
# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name
# of the machine that is connecting.
# Note: Consider carefully the location in the configuration file of
#      this line.  The included file is read at that point.
;  include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m

# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
# If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them
# here. See the man page for details.
;  interfaces = 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24

# Browser Control Options:
# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master
# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply
;  local master = no

# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser
# elections. The default value should be reasonable
;  os level = 33

# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this
# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job
;  domain master = yes

# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup
# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
;  preferred master = yes

# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
# Windows95 workstations.
;  domain logons = yes

# if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
# per user logon script
# run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)
;  logon script = %m.bat
# run a specific logon batch file per username
;  logon script = %U.bat

You would only set up the smb.conf file if you were going to create a share for the XP machine to use. From your post, it looks like you want to access a share on the XP machine from your Linux machine, right?

camorri 07-16-2007 06:02 AM

Check the firewall settings on WinXp machine. Konqueror to WinXp is what is not working from your post. Have you checked the WinXP workgroup name? Are you sure you have windoze networking set up correctly after the " format " and re-install?

The smb.conf file sets up linux as a server, not as a client.

Morroth 07-16-2007 09:59 AM

I would like to access WinXP files.

The workgroup is set correctly and internet on Arch is working (so networking is ok, I think).

I use built in win firewall only for internet connection not for local, but what should I check or change??

camorri 07-16-2007 01:44 PM

Quick check, turn off the windoze firewall for a short time, and test to see if linux can then access the windoze shares.

The fact that windoze routes the internet stuff does not tell us if the ports are open for samba to communicate on, they are different ports.


If linux can access shares without the firewall, then we need to find out what ports samba uses, and open them on windoze. If it makes no difference we look elsewhere.

Morroth 07-19-2007 07:43 AM

Sorry I left for a couple days and I couldn't write post.

I turned off firewall but konqueror gives me the same error.

camorri 07-19-2007 10:55 AM

O.K., if the firewall off makes no difference, we have to do some PD.

We need to establish if you can ping in both directions. From windoze ping the linus machine, and from linux ping the windoze machine. This should work for both IP addresses and using a host name. Try the IP addresses first and then the host name.

Post te results.

Morroth 07-19-2007 03:08 PM

From Arch:
ping 192.168.0.1 - ok
ping dom - ok
From WinXP:
ping 192.168.0.2 - ok
ping arch - after add arch host in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts - ok

camorri 07-19-2007 03:28 PM

Did you give it a try after updating the 'hosts' file on XP?

If not, try again.

I'm going to suggest you go here

http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch03.html

and go through the section on setting up XP, it is near the bottom of the chapter. Notice you need to make sure you are checking the correct adapter, the one that connects to your Linux system to make sure the protocols are bound to the correct adapter.

This may turn up the problem. If not, we will know your XP system is configured correctly. Let me know how it goes.

Morroth 07-20-2007 09:28 AM

I did everything step by step but access XP shares from Arch still doesn't working. Internet sharing is working perfectly, so I don't know what I did wrong.

camorri 07-21-2007 10:52 AM

You have two nic's in the XP system, is that correct? What I want you to check, in windoze, open the properties for the nic connecting to your linux system, and make sure you have File and Print Sharing bound to that adapter. If you have it set up for the other nic, that would explain the problem.

Please check the adapter for the connecting to the linux host, and tell me if you have File and Print Sharing on that adapter.

Morroth 07-22-2007 10:26 AM

I checked that winXP and winXP local network is the same problem. I try set the local network again from begining. Thank you very much for your attention.
