samba thread: Cannot Access Samba Share


Message #1 by "Ganesan" <ganesh15@t...> on Mon, 17 Feb 2003 09:27:07
A few suggestions. Firstly, have you correctly set up TCP/IP on your linux
machine? I believe (although I haven't seen it working) that you can send
SMB packets out without TCP/IP, but as your Windoze machines will be running
SMB over TCP/IP, they won't be able to find the machine.

Secondly, check your firewalling rules on your Linux machine. It could be
that the NMB messages aren't blocked, but the SMB ones are. That (from
distant memory) brings up such an error. 

Otherwise, don't know. Maybe hosts deny has been set in smb.conf?

Dear experts,

I cannot access samba share eventhough the samba share shows up in the 
workgroup computers under Windows, but when I click on it it says the 
computer can not be found. 

Plese help how to solve this problem.
