somethingx Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've been using Samba for some time and it was working just fine. Today when I wrote smb:/ in Konqueror as I always do, I got this error: "Unable to find any workgroups in your local machine". Even if there was a problem accessing another machine on the network, which is possible, the name of the workgroup should have been displayed. What could cause this change and how do I fix it?

scarecrow Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Try "smb:/workgroup" instead. If it doesnt work as well, recheck your Samba settings through the kcontrol samba module (or webmin, or any other administration tool you have handy) and get sure that it's not a firewall issue. For using a smb client within Linux, the samba daemon does NOT have to be running. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingx Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 I tried to access my Linux PC from my Windows PC (the other machine on the network) and it went ok. The strange thing is that right after that I tried smb:/ on Linux again and it worked. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
