polemicz Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 First: welcome to the board. Second, we will need more information on your set-up. How have you got your Windows shares set up and how have you set up Samba? Common problems are workgroup names and Samba users. So give us some more details on how you have configured Samba and Windows to share. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEberger Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 you probably shouldn't share the entire drive just as a matter of security. especially if you have any kind of wireless going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolfix Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 The easyest way to acces a XP folder from a linux box is to put the folders you want to share on the shared folders section of XP. Another recommendation is to put the two machines in the mdkgroup workgroup. It helps when you will import XP folders into linux via the samba mounting points. Ciao.

Darkelve Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I have, with Samba. But I'm not using Mandrake, so I can't help you. But yes, it's possible of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilia_kr Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 How did you configured your XP box, maybe i do something wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I've got a wireless network and on the XP machine, there's a folder "C:\mysharedmap" (name of the map doesn't matter really). Then you right-click on the folder and select "share folder and contents" somewhere. I think I used the Samba module in Yast to connect to the network, there you just specify your network name(e.g. MSHOME). However, I don't know what the corresponding configuration tool in Mandrake is. It's so long ago though, that I don't really remember. But maybe I'll give it a go again this weekend.

polemicz Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 On linux try smbclient -L windows_box_name. Also are you sure you have your samba users set up. It doesn't really matter how you set up your Windows folders as long as they are marked shared (also check who can share them). Have you tried to access them as Administrator? You may want to post your samba config file (/etc/samba/smb.conf). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adolfix Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 It seems that the smb service is not running. Go into the Center of Control of Mandrakelinux. Then chosse System and after Services. You will find all the services intalled in your box. Look for SMB, start it up and click to start it from the starting up of your box.

polemicz Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 "What do you mean to set up samba users? Tell me more about it please." Samba has its own user list, set up with smbpasswd -a <user_name> as root. That is what samba uses for authenication. These samba users have to be users on you system if I recall correctly.
