Hi all, If you have both the wifi adapter and the wired nic with an IP on the same network segment, you could run into problems with packets coming in on one NIC and being replied to on another card. I highly recommend you make sure that you are using either one or the other.
But before, a quick diagnostic to check that all is in order on the same machine. Check what interface the SMB service is listening on. The broadest configuration should be 0.0.0.0:139 (there are other ports CIFS uses but lets not digress). If you see that its listening only to one interface, then you probably already found your culprit. Next up, try and connect to the SMB service using the smbclient on the same machine i.e. localhost. 'man smbclient' will give you the options on how to connect to the service depending on the username/password, guest etc settings you placed on your share. If that is ok, connect using ONLY your wifi. Make sure that you only have one IP up on the same machine with the route -n command. If you see two interfaces on the same subnet, you are into problems. If all is ok, restart the SMB service to make sure that it binds correctly. Also: * check you don't have a firewall up on your machine blocking the ports. * perform an nmap on known ports like 139 and or other services not related to SMB to check that your problem is not elsewhere Some dumps of the output of the commands might help us should you still be having problems. Maybe we spot something that you missed or someone gets a better idea .... after all its a community -- Raphael On Tue, Aug 26, 2014 at 9:25 PM, Jonathan Aquilina <[email protected]> wrote: > Is windows firewall disabled > > > Sent from Samsung Mobile > > > > -------- Original message -------- > From: Joseph Markham <[email protected]> > Date: 26/08/2014 20:41 (GMT+01:00) > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [LINUX.ORG.MT] SAMBA Server issue which is driving me nuts > > > 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...
