 |
|
Hello,
I have set up Samba, in a close to accurate configuration, but I am missing something, as I cannot get it to show up in my windows "netowork" list (which is require to contnect my WD HD Live Media Server).
As background, I can get to the samba shares just fine over IP address, just not via hostname.
The output from testparm -s:
| Quote: | Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[homes]"

Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
[global]
workgroup = HOMENETWORK
server string = LINUX DESTOP
map to guest = Bad User
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50

[videos]

when I run: smbclient -L zalman, I see:

Given the above, I think it's the naming service that's having problems, however in the log for the nmb daemon (/var/log/samba/log.nmbd) everything looks correct:

Finally, on my windows machine, I can browse and see everything via IP address. If I try to ping "zalman" or "zalman.homenetwork", I get nothing though. Any ideas what could cause this? |

This guy has an excellent Samba How-To which you might find of help. He's an Ubuntu user, but I have not seen anything as easy to follow. I'm hoping to try it out when I am back at home in a few weeks:
Samba How To.
BTW, his IPTABLES tutorial is also excellent and I'm hoping to adapt it to Gentoo on my main laptop in the near future (I'm currently using UFW).
