Hi guys,
I've asked before, but didn't receive any replies. Since then I've run a
few more tests and refined a few things, so maybe this should be a little
more helpful to any of you who may want to try to help diagnose this
problem.
Basically, I have a machine running mdk8.0 which I want to use as my
fileserver/proxy/firewall/dhcp server/whatever. Right now, it's running
as a firewall and router to my cable modem, it runs a DHCP server to my
internal LAN, but the samba server seems to have some issues...
Here is a copy of my smb.conf file;
[global]
#general workgroup stuff
netbios name = Server
workgroup = DEVELOPMENT
browseable = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
# browser election stuff
os level = 33
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
# network config stuff
hosts allow = 192.168.0. localhost
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
bind interfaces only = yes
[storage]
path = /storage
browsable = yes
comment = storage drive
volume = storage
writeable = yes
guest ok = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
When I do an smbclient -L Server as root, then enter my password, it shows
up as the master browser, and has /storage and /root shared, jsut as it is
supposed to. I get a different error, ERRinvnetname.
Now, when I try to browse my network from Windows 98, NT4, or 2000, it
says
"Development is not acessible.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available."
I have also recived an error stating that the server is not set up to
share that information.
at any time, I can type in \\Server\storage and I am presented with a
dialogue asking me for username and password, then the server grants me
access to the share andother shares on the server.
The workgroups are correctly configured, this was working perfectly fine
when I had a Windows NT4 server system set up to perform all of these
tasks. I have simply removed it, and made some slight modification to the
smb.conf file I used. None of the modifications affected the workgroup
though.
I've spent the past week, on and off, reading though Using Samba by
O'Reilly and Associates, and unfortunately, it hasn't been able to help me
fix this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... any RTFMs would be greatly
annoying as that's all I have been doing for the past 2 or three weeks now
Thanks,
