Re: [Samba] Initial Samba Setup
Oh, yes, it may not be obvious which smb.conf file your smbd is using. I find that: strings `which smbd` | grep smb.conf helps Joel On Thu, Nov 20, 2003 at 07:24:16PM -0500, Kev wrote: > I'm in the process of setting up Samba 3 on a Fedora core machine with a > second machine being an XP machine.

Re: [Samba] Initial Samba Setup
smbclient doesn't need samba. Here is how I would trouble shoot this: smbclient -d9 -L netbiosname > junklog Look for lmhosts in junklog. smbclient will try to find your netbios name with: lmhosts hosts wins broadcast in that order by default. Hosts is DNS or /etc/host Look to see if the log tells you if found your XP computer. I would also read DIAGNOSIS.txt. If smbclient found the XP computer, the log should also give you a clue as to why the connection failed.

RE: [Samba] Initial Samba setup
Also, have you gone through DIAGNOSIS.txt in docs/textdocs ? If the other suggestions don't work, then running through this might help further narrow where your problem is. ~ Daniel Brian wrote: > > You might also post your smb.conf file to aid people in assisting you. > > I like the shutting down the firewall idea.

Re: [Samba] Initial Samba setup
You might also post your smb.conf file to aid people in assisting you. I like the shutting down the firewall idea. That could be it. One other idea I have without seeing the smb.conf is to make sure that the IP address of the machine giving you that error is among those allowed in smb.conf. If your smb.conf restricts access to a certain IP range, then if this machine is not in that range it would be denied access in the way you describe.

RE: [Samba] Initial Samba setup
Sounds like a common problem --- What is your firewall settings? Try dropping the firewall or stopping IPCHAINS and IPTABLES.
