Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 I just installed Win2000 pro on my fiancee's computer. We had Samba working on Win98SE, but now it doesn't. I checked that her username in net config is the samba username and the password is correct. I've got Samba set up to use encrypted passwords. The deal is DHCP works fine, but when I go into My Network Places on Win2000, it doesn't even show the mdkgroup (well, at one point I had it showing, but don't know what change lost it). When it was showing, clicking on it took a long time and then 'The network is not accessible'. I cannot ping the MDK box from Windows. It says 'timed out'.. Here's my smb.conf: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2003/01/21 15:25:03 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MDKGROUP netbios name = OMARSERENITY server string = Samba Server %v encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes username map = /etc/samba/user.map log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 printcap name = lpstat domain master = True dns proxy = No wins support = Yes printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers. lpq command = lpstat -o %p lprm command = cancel %p-%j browseable = No [linux] path = / valid users = laluna omar hosts allow = 192.168.0.0 Why does DHCP work and not Samba?

Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Oh, yeah...attempting to run a VNC viewer from the same Win2000 box gives me the same results. 'Hostname' not found or something like that. 'Path to host is incorrect' is what I think it says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 This is what I get when I try to browse her computer: GetSMBShare:smbclient -L 6v0k10b -I 192.168.0.2 -U% -W MDKGROUP -d3 added interface ip=192.168.0.1 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Client started (version 2.2.1a).

Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 There has got to be someone that has an idea. I can now browse the Windows shares from Linux (dumb mistake when I defined the shares), but still get the 'Path to host is unknown' from Windows to Linux. I know it's probably a Windows problem and that's probably why no one has answered, because I'm using the same /etc/samba/smb.conf file that I used before we upgraded to Win2K.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Ok, I found this site that said I need to run WINS on the 2000 box and not Linux, which I did. Also, that I needed to make 2000 the domain master by editing the registry in 3 places, which I also did. I edited my smb.conf to reflect those changes. Still the same problems. 'Network path was not found'. There has got to be someone that has Samba working with 2000 and Linux that can give me some tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnr Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Just so you don't feel you're being ignored.... Sorry, not me, I've done it with 98SE and XP, but not 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Thanks. I also forgot to say Mandrake 8.1. The funny thing is when I see my box's name on My Network Places, it says off to the left where windows puts the description 'Samba Server 2.2.(whatever)', so how can it see that and not access the shares???? 'Path to Host Unknown'.....bwahahahahahahahahahaha<hack>....*cough*.....hahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vance Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I have run into something very simmilar to what you are going through, and wondering if you have turned the local master to "NO" inf SAMBA GLOBAL VARIABLES. I have left the domain master as AUTO but I can brows both ways (2000 to linux or linux to 2000). Hope this helps out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
