Hi to all of you, Problem occurs while migrating from Windows XP to Linux.
My very simple home network is composed of 3 equipments : 1) a "Windows XP" PC with no printer, 2) a "Mandriva Linux One" PC (previously Windows XP) having printer, configured as a Samba Server using Samba-3.0.25b-4.4mdv2008.0 for the "Mandriva Linux One 2008.0" distribution, 3) a Netgear router which provides to both PCs ADSL connexion to the Web. Netgear router is a DG834GT model, 2.4 GHz, 802.11g. Previously the PC number 2 (server) was using Windows XP and nicely sharing resources. I would appreciate having the same service with Linux/Samba. For now I haven't. I went threw pages of docs, had a look at all the HOWTOs, and the very useful Checklist. Thanks to the latest I discovered that the very first step was not OK according to what the "ping" tests were saying : from equipment to equipment result PC no 1 PC no 2 (server) nok (all lost !) PC no 1 router no 3 ok PC no 2 (server) PC no 1 ok PC no 2 (server) router no 3 ok As far as I understand, it looks like the router doesn't "see" the Samba server : it recognizes it's IP address but keeps ignoring (UNKNOWN) it's name (should be MSHOME as stated in the "netbios name" parameter of my smb.conf file). I get lost... Any idea please ? Many thanks -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
