 |
|
I think I'm having a nervous breakdown!!!
I have been going trough the samba troubleshooting:
http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/DIAGNOSIS.txt
And i came to test #5:
| Quote: |
TEST 5:
-------
run the command "nmblookup -B ACLIENT '*'"
You should get the PCs IP address back. If you don't then the client
software on the PC isn't installed correctly, or isn't started, or you
got the name of the PC wrong.
If ACLIENT doesn't resolve via DNS then use the IP address of the
client in the above test.
|
Here is what my Server had to say when i typed in the command nmblookup -B IRONY '*' (witch is my WinXP PC - 'the client'):
| Quote: |
querying * on 192.168.0.2
name_query failed to find name
|
That's the right IP allright ... but he can't find the name
When i type in the same command for the server... it's working.
Also.. assuming that my Linux Server is named 'NOISE'....
When i type in ping NOISE in WinXP MSDOS prompt...
Should I expect to get any ping? Couse it's not working.. I have to type in the Linux Server IP address in order to ping.
... any idea is MORE then welcome...

Do you have Netbios turned on for your WinXP box? If you don't that's at least PART of your troubles. IRONY needs to have Netbios running for Samba to be able to resolve a name. As for IRONY being able to ping NOISE depends on your network and how you have things configured. If everybody is using Netbios (NOISE using it via Samba) then it should work, alternatively if you have a DNS server that is configured properly and all your machines are talking to it you can get name resolution when using ping without having Netbios working.
Hope that helps!

I just did a nmap scan on IRONY (my WinXP)
nmap -sUT IRONY
| Quote: |
123/udp - ntp
135/tcp - loc-srv
445/tcp - microsoft-ds
445/udp - microsoft -ds
500/udp - isakmp
1025/tcp - NFS-or-IIS
1030/udp - iad1
1900/udp - UPnP
3306/tcp - mysql
5000/tcp - UPnP
|
These are open... and i assume that none of them is NETBIOS? It's suppose to be 139/udp.. am i right?
Ok how do I open it?
In "Local area connection properties" it says that NWLINK NetBIOS is installed. What else do i need to do to open it? |

Do you actually have a share on the box NOISE that is named 'tmp' (I don't know if case matters when browsing with Samba) that is world viewable -- ie everyone has permission to see it?

yeah.. its /tmp full rights to anyone...
and here is the smb.conf
| Quote: |
[global]
netbios name = NOISE
workgroup = MINDLESS
loglevel = 2
Logfile = /usr/local/samba/var/samba.log
security = user
host allow = 192.168.0.2
host deny = ALL
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = ////..path
#not sure if need this one but i saw it in a HOWTO
[NETLOGON]
path = ////....path
read only = yes
[tmp]
path = /tmp
read only = no
|
- acount irony has been created
- smb passwd for the account too
I think I have tryed EVERYTHING now and i'm freeking out... I'll get it tho 
Could use some help hehe
Cmon ppl.. tell me what to do...
Here are some of the things that might help tracking down the errror:
irony = winXP = 192.168.0.2
noise = Linux samba server = 192.168.0.1
If i run these commands from linux server:
| Quote: |
# nmblookup -B irony '*'
querying * on 192.168.0.2
name_query failed to find name
|
| Quote: |
# smbclient //noise/tmp
session request to NOISE failed (Not listening for calling name)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Not listening for calling name)
|
And from the WinXP:
| Quote: |
net view \\noise
System error 53 has ocured
The network path was not found
|
Once again.. Thanks in advance!!!

Hmmm.. it seems like nmbd is not working as it should.
netstat -ap says that only smbd is LISTENING while nmbd is just open or something... i dont understand this.
I can now connect to samba when running smbclient from Linux server (samba server). But when I try to connect from WinXP = still same error.
I tripple checked that username&password are same on windows, linux and samba.
Can i somehow reinstall nmbd? I did try emerge -s nmbd but it came back with no match...
So.. what now I must ask..?

do worry much about your gentoo box - my brother has his box just for playing games, so he uses XP.
we never found out why, but he was never able to search or mount something in the network, until he reinstalled XP (doing the same install as before) and now it works.
i think if you have access from your linux to samba shared dirs, you have made everything right, now the problem might be on the other side of the network
do you have the possibility to check if the xp box is working fine in a network, or are there just these two boxes in the network? |
