Help!!!! Unable to get Win2k and Samba talking 1

[DCCoolBreeze]

I have been working for a while on getting my Win2K systems to talk to Samba...with no luck. Network Neighborhood (NN) can see the Samba host but when I double click on the icon, I get
\\SambaShare is not accessible
The network path was not found

My home network consists of a Win2k DC. I have successfully joined my Samba server with the DC. I can access accounts via smbclient using the netbios name or the IP. I have attempted to connect to the server via the RUN command using \\SambaNetBiosName and \\IP without success. They give the same errors. I have defined the samba server in both Hosts and lmhosts. I am including my smb.conf file for your review

[global]
workgroup = Delaware
security = domain
password server = DELAWAREDC
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /usr/local/etc/private/smbpasswd
unix password sync = yes

[homes]
guest ok = no
read only = no

[Public]
comment = Public Share
path = /usr/local/samba/public
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no

Nothing fancy but I wanted to do the minimum to get it working

smbstatus shows:

[root@delawaredh-lx1 samba]# smbstatus

Samba version 2.2.1a
Service uid gid pid machine

No locked files

The Win2k Servers are setup correctly for encrypted passwords

Help!!!!

Hi,

You have enable the encrypted password value changed to 1 in Win2k. Then that work fine!

To do that :

Start-> Run -> regedit -> and search for enableplaintextpassword and change the value to 1.

Restart your comp, let me know if it's works!

Thanks. I will try that today and let you know the results

 

[DCCoolBreeze]

did not work...any other ideas or what other data can I send you

 

[gwinn7]

Are you running Active Directory on your Win2K machine?

yes

OK. I want to get this to work so I have modified samba to not use the domain controller as the authentication. I want to make it work with the minimum conf. file so here it goes:

smb.conf:

So why can I not talk with the Linux server????

 

[kd4pba]

I had something simular happen to me with Win98ME and Samba.

Just a thought.

You did mention hosts and lmhosts. Is the host name of the Win2k box in the hosts file on the Linux Server?

 

[mithrilhall]

Ok, this is probably a dumb question but...have you setup a user in samba yet?

smbpasswd -a <name> -I think this is how it's done.

 

[fkdavidson]

I had a similar problem once, and it ended up being nmb on the Linux box was not working properly. Go to the Windows box and type

nbtstat -a LINUX_MACHINE

where LINUX_MACHINE is the name of the Linux Box as defined on the Windows 2000 machine. See if it returns the proper answer. Also, can you ping from the Linux server to the Windows machine by name?

To add a user, in RedHat anyway, you need to run the following command as root:

/usr/bin/smbadduser LINUX_ID:NT_ID

where LINUX_ID is the Linux login name of the user and NT_ID is the Windows login name of the same user. Other flavors (such as Caldera OpenLinux) differ slightly in the syntax, but if you type in /usr/bin/smbadduser without any names after it you will get an error telling you the proper syntax to use it.

Hope this helps,

Rev. Davidson

ok moones posted here since april but i was just configuring the same thing and got it to work with Active directory, i will past my conf below short view and long view , and dont forget to run

smbpasswd -a test

test is the unix useraccount i have, look for it in the smb.conf below

[MrRohan]

even i have one problem relating to windows and linux file sharing.

i have 2 linux box and a windows nt server and windows xp workstation, all in one domain. now i have installed smb and swat on both the linux box, but i am able to access the shared files only in one linux box say A ( from both win and the other linux say B). but i am not able to access any of the files on B either from win nor from linux.

when i try to do a smbclient //hostname/sharename -U username%password

immediately i get an error saying connection refused. i am able to ping B from all other machines (win and linux).

can any one guess what can be the problem. how can i trouble shoot this one ?
