Thanks nitin I'm guessing you have a recent Windows client. Try the settings at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681622%28v=ws.10%29.aspx (there's also a similar thing on the Samba.org site but I can't find it right now). However, I do remember that there are two registry keys that need to be set/changed with Windows 7. After that, everything works. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] Share working with IP not with hostname
This is the trick for successfully access the share with the hostname.. Be sure you have the following lines in the smb.conf: netbios name = yourhostname wins support = yes The following line in this order. name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast Add the following line: hosts allow = the host ip / mask Where the host ip is your server ip. the mask is the mask you are using in all your windows clients. This is the most important thing. For example If you have in your server the mask 255.255.0.0 then all your clients must have the same network mask. Windows clients with the same mask of the server will see the server on the network with it hostname otherwise you need to access the server by its ip number. I hope this can help you.
