Just a couple of thoughts from the Win2K side of things (which is usually where I find my Windows share problems):
Is the Win2K box joined to the domain? Both machines need to be either: a) in the same workgroup or b) belong to the same domain. Have you changed any of the Win2K Administrative Tools => Services set to default startup types (e.g. Manual, Automatic, etc.)? Have you changed any of the Network and Dial-Up Connections Network Adapter properties (TCP/IP properties, etc.)? Just in case Linux is not the problem... ;-) Curtis -----Original Message----- From: Shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: November 10, 2003 10:15 PM To: CLUG (E-mail) Subject: (clug-talk) Samba Help? Hi all. I have Samba 2.2.8 setup on my server, and it is serving as my domain controller. It works great in that I can connect to shares on the Linux server from my windows pc. But.... Today, I have the need to reverse the connection - connect to a windows share from the linux server. This is failing miserably. I've browsed the web and made various tweaks to my smb.conf file, but still no luck... Here's the Globals section of my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = O2S netbios name = SNOW server string = Server Snow security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = snow log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 domain admin group = @sysadmin add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false %u logon script = login.cmd logon drive = h: domain logons = Yes os level = 64 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No admin users = @sysadmin root sgrover I'm trying to hook up a share on a Win2k box, where I have both a local and network user account, both with the same username (sgrover), and password. This name has been set via smbpasswd, and also matches my shell account. Here's some sample output: Try 1: snow root # smbclient -L peon -U sgrover added interface ip=192.168.0.15 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.20 ( 192.168.0.20 ) Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE Try 2: snow root # smbmount //peon/backup /root/peon -o credentials=//root/smb/cred.txt INFO: Debug class all level = 1 (pid 2458 from pid 2458) 2458: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed Try 3: snow root # mount -t smbfs //peon/backup /root/peon INFO: Debug class all level = 1 (pid 2467 from pid 2467) Password: 2467: session setup failed: ERRDOS - 2215 SMB connection failed A search of my logs shows that it can't find a login server (only for these tests, otherwise, there's no errors....). I'm thinking the bug is in my smb.conf file, but can't really see anything that looks right. Any guru's see anything glaring? Thanks in advance for any tips. Shawn
