Hi All,
Thanks for your replies...
yes, they are on the same subnet... 192.168.1.x
I'm using a linux laptop to connect to a linux server, both running U
14.04... what i cannot understand is that when connected via ethernet
cable, everything works like a charm... The server works when connected
to the net via wireless... it's just samba that is somehow blocked...
I cannot even ping the wireless server.... yet the server itself can
connect to the net...
can it be some firewall blocking the connections to it via wireless??

I would also check the windows firewall. By default that tends to
block the traffic for samba. Also binding isnt necessary as long as
the computers are on the same ip subnet. I have a feeling the ip
subnet being used is different to that of the wired network. On your
router you could assign a static ip via dhcp and bind that ip address
to that pc using the mac address that way other devices cant use it
and you can keep everything on a single subnet.

Hi,
To which network connection have you bind samba?
If you have more than one, you have to list all of them into your
smb.conf file.
Good luck,
Valentin
