Well gang, I'm back and still haven't figured out why Samba isn't working with my
Windoze PC's. I though I was close a couple times, but now I'm back to square 1. So
now I'm going to spill as much information on you guys as I can in the hope that
someone will notice what I'm doing wrong and help me get this thing running.
Here are the computers on my home network:
A. Linux Box (luke) - AMD Athlon 750 MHz, 256 MB RAM, (2) 20 GB IDE HD's
RedHat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3)
Samba v2.2.6pre2-1
3Com 3C509 PCI TPO Ethernet Adapter
IP set by DHCP from ISP (Time Warner/RoadRunner)
This machine also boots Windows 2000 Professional and can browse other
Windows shares when using Windows 2000.
smb.conf file for this machine is attached. I've scaled it down to make it
easier/faster to read.
This box has both ipchains and iptables installed. I'm not sure if these
can cause the problems I'm having or not.
B. Windoze Box #1 (jarjar) - Toshiba Satellite Laptop, Pentium III 750 MHz
Windows 98 SE
Netlink PCMCIA Ethernet Card
IP set by DHCP from ISP
C. Windoze Box #2 (obi-wan) - 486 DX2 66Mhz, 8 MB RAM, 400 MB HD
WFW 3.11
MS TCP/IP32
3Com 3C509 ISA Ethernet Card
I tried running through the DIAGNOSIS.txt file with the following results:
Test 1: testparm shows all clear
Test 2: (from obi-wan) ping luke: Success (had to manually supply IP address)
(from luke) ping obi-wan: Success (had to manually supply IP address)
Test 3: smbclient -L luke: Success (asks for password but accepts blank)
Test 4: nmblookup -B LUKE __SAMBA__: Success
Test 5: nmblookup -B JARJAR '*' : Failed (name_query failed to find name *)
nmblookup -B OBI-WAN '*': Failed (name_query failed to find name *)
Tried this one with ipchains/iptables and without - same result both times
Test 6: nmblookup -d 2 '*' : Returns only the IP of the Linux box.
Test 7: smbclient //luke/homes : Success
Test 8: (from obi-wan) net view \\luke: Failed (couldn't find computer name on
network)
I've tried to telnet from one machine to the other on port 139, and each attempt
fails. However, when I try to telnet into a machine from itself, it works....from
each machine.
This has led me to believe that there is a problem in the network at the hub
level...but what could that be? Both Windoze machines are able to share and browse at
will. If the Win machines can't connect to each other on port 139, how are they
sharing?
I hope someone on the list can help. This has been a problem long enough now.
Thanks in advance,
DJ Busch
