Problems Pinging and SAMBA

[Guest c_m_f]

Ok now my seting up of DHCP is now done im having some other probs, mainly with shorewall i believe.

Once again this is my setup:

 

Two computers, one connecting to the net (mdk 9.1 call it rubarb) with a normal dial-up modem and a second (mdk 9.1 XP call it custard) computer connected with a simple crossover cable.

 

What it is, is that 'custard' cannot ping 'rubarb' (DHCP server) but 'rubarb' can ping 'custard', when i try to ping 'rubarb' from 'custard' (when shorewall is enabled on rubarb) i get this error:

 

[casey@custard casey]$ ping 192.168.0.1

PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

From 192.168.0.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Port Unreachable

From 192.168.0.1 icmp_seq=2 Destination Port Unreachable

From 192.168.0.1 icmp_seq=3 Destination Port Unreachable

From 192.168.0.1 icmp_seq=4 Destination Port Unreachable

 

and when shorewall is off, i try to ping, and nothing happens, no errors, and no replys from rubarb, so how can i set this up so it works.

 

Also could anyone post a link on an easy to setup SMABA as it doesn't want to work really.

 

EDIT:

 

Here are the appropriate config files i have on for shorewall

 

interfaces:

 

#ZONE  INTERFACE	BROADCAST	OPTIONS

net	ppp+	detect

masq	eth0	detect

 

policy:

 

#SOURCE  DEST  POLICY  LOG LEVEL	LIMIT:BURST

masq	net	ACCEPT

loc	net	ACCEPT

fw	net	ACCEPT

net	all	DROP	info

all	all	REJECT	info

 

rules:

 

#ACTION  SOURCE  DEST     	 PROTO	DEST    SOURCE    ORIGINAL

#                               	 PORT    PORT(S)    DEST

ACCEPT	masq	fw	tcp	domain,bootps,http,https,631,imap,pop3,smtp,nntp,ntp	-

ACCEPT	masq	fw	udp	domain,bootps,http,https,631,imap,pop3,smtp,nntp,ntp	-

ACCEPT	fw	masq	tcp	631,515,137,138,139	-

ACCEPT	fw	masq	udp	631,515,137,138,139	-

 

zones:

 

#ZONE	DISPLAY  COMMENTS

net	Net	Internet zone

masq	Masquerade	Masquerade Local

loc	Local	Local

 

Hope that helps

In your policy (/etc/shorewall/polilcy), add the following line after 'fw net ACCEPT' but before 'net all DROP info'

 

masq fw ACCEPT

 

and restart shorewall (type 'service shorewall restart' as root in a console). That should remove the firewall that is between 'rubarb' and 'custard' but prevent people from the net to access your boxes (yes!).

 

For Samba, here is two nice link:

BTW, since you have two boxes with Linux on them, why don't you use SSH to share files? You only have to turn it on by typing 'service sshd start' on both box and then access files with Konqueror by typing 'fish://IP'. If you don't use KDE you can use the magic console with 'ssh IP' and voila! If you have problems with your firewall SSH runs on port 22. Putty is a nice Windows client for SSH. Search google for that.

C :) :) L!!

Humm, it depends. If you want custard to act as a server then look in /etc/samba/smb.conf (or something like that... I'm not at /home). Look at the beginning of this file for the variable workgroup as specified here :

 

http://fi.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.con....html#WORKGROUP

 

If you want to access a certain workgroup from custard then it depends which client you use. With smbclient it's something like

smbclient //computer/share -w workgroup -i IP

.. or something like that. type 'man smbclient' :P
