I can't download the pet. Is the download link still valid?

[Makoto]

It's hosted locally on the forum, so, yes, the link should still be valid. However, there's currently an issue or two with the forum (you may have noticed 'garbage' appearing at the top of a page or two, for example), that appears to be interfering with things like the post attachment above. Hopefully, it'll all be sorted, soon.

It also works fine on Fatdog64, thanks

YASSM v2.2 is posted on Page 1.

[Geoffrey]

YASSM v2.2 don't run in Saluki, I tried YASSM v2.1 and it works fine, I get this message with v2.2

[rcrsn51]

Please type the command "iproute" and report the results.

Please type the command "iproute" and report the results.

Code: Select all

# iproute

Thanks. What is the IP address of the server you are looking for?

Now try:

Code: Select all

nbtscan -q 10.0.0.0/8

Does this find the server? (You may have to kill this command.) If not, use

Code: Select all

nbtscan -q 10.0.0.0/16

or

Code: Select all

nbtscan -q 10.1.1.0-254

[Geoffrey]

Thanks. What is the IP address of the server you are looking for?

I have 3 nas units ip 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3, 10.1.1.7

only the 10.1.1.3 is running to test with

Code: Select all

# nbtscan -q 10.0.0.0/8
# nbtscan -q 10.0.0.0/16
# nbtscan -q 10.1.1.0-254
10.1.1.3         REPOTEC          <server>  REPOTEC          00-00-00-00-00-00

using fping

Code: Select all

LAN IPs found:

10.1.1.1
10.1.1.3
10.1.1.8

Local IP: 10.1.1.11

[rcrsn51]

Thanks. One more:

Code: Select all

nbtscan -q 10.1.0.0/16

[Geoffrey]

Thanks. One more:

Code: Select all

nbtscan -q 10.1.0.0/16

That gave no result

Code: Select all

Thanks. If you run Pnethood from another Puppy (Saluki doesn't have it) can it find your NAS boxes?

Thanks. If you run Pnethood from another Puppy (Saluki doesn't have it) can it find your NAS boxes?

With Pnethood I've never had a problem with other puppy's using a network scan of 3 seconds, Saluki has pnethood but I need to adjust the network scan to 6 seconds then it finds the servers.

I have had this problem with lameSMBxplorer, I was never was able to get it to function correctly, it also had issues with ip's in the 10.1.1.0 range and netmask 255.0.0.0, this was discussed here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 033#440033.

Don't pull your hair out over it, your version 2.1 works fine and it's easier for me to set the shares manually, the only time it's a pain is if someone arrives with a device that I wish to access, but a quick fping scan will find any new ip's.

Thank you for this testing - it has been extremely valuable. I had made some incorrect assumptions about how people set up home networks.

I was surprised that "nbtscan -q 10.1.0.0/16" did not find your NAS boxes, because I believe that's how Pnethood does it. But maybe "nbtscan -q -t 3000 10.1.0.0/16" would work.

It's interesting that "nbtscan -q 10.1.1.0-254" did work with the default 1 second time interval.

I will be releasing a YASSM v2.3 shortly.

It certainly looks to be a timing issue.

# nbtscan -q -t 4000 10.1.0.0/16
# nbtscan -q -t 5000 10.1.0.0/16
# nbtscan -q -t 6000 10.1.0.0/16
# nbtscan -q -t 7000 10.1.0.0/16
10.1.1.3         REPOTEC          <server>  REPOTEC          00-00-00-00-00-00
10.1.1.7         NAS              <server>  NAS              00-00-00-00-00-00

Could you repeat that, but with

Code: Select all

nbtscan -q -t xxxx 10.1.1.0-254

[Geoffrey]

Could you repeat that, but with

Code: Select all

nbtscan -q -t xxxx 10.1.1.0-254

Code: Select all

nbtscan -q -t 1000 10.1.1.0-254
10.1.1.3         REPOTEC          <server>  REPOTEC          00-00-00-00-00-00
10.1.1.7         NAS              <server>  NAS              00-00-00-00-00-00

Time appears not to effect the result, "t" can be anything higher than "1"

Code: Select all

# nbtscan -q 10.1.1.0-254
10.1.1.7         NAS              <server>  NAS              00-00-00-00-00-00

Thank you again. This has been invaluable testing.

I have posted YASSM v2.3 above. The new samba-search tool should work with your network, but samba-login and samba-select are still available if you need them.

[Geoffrey]

Brilliant, it works a treat, thankyou very much for this.
