Puppy 528 unable to access Samba share |
|
I set up Samba on my Laptop. I installed Samba-Full 3.6.3-s. I am using Puppy Linux 5.2.8. When I go to my other computer, I can see the share but when I open it, I receive the following window. What should I do?

What operating system is running on the "other computer"? What tool did you use on it to mount the share?

I am running Mint 14 xfce. All of my other shares work except for this one. All I do is click on the network icon in my sidebar and mount it that way. Should I try smb://the ip address?

Do you mean other shares on the Puppy machine or shares on other machines?
Is JUJU the name of the Puppy server or the name of the share?

Shares on my other machines work fine. The server name is juju. The share name is puppyshare.
This is what I get:
| Code: | randy@hprandymint ~ $ /usr/bin/smbclient -L 192.168.2.13
Enter randy's password:
Connection to 192.168.2.13 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) |

Try this command instead
| Code: | | /usr/bin/smbclient -NL 192.168.2.13 |
Does that see the share?
If the Puppy server is set up in "security=user" mode, then it requires authentication. But I'm assuming that the "randy" password you are entering is for Randy on the Mint machine.
No such Randy user exists on the Puppy Samba server. So you will need to create it.
What happens if you login to the Puppy server using "root-woofwoof"?
Try running a Puppy client machine and accessing the share through Pnethood or YASSM.

No. That didn't work. Here are the contents of my smb.conf file.
I cannot see 192.168.2.13 (juju) at all when I start up pnethood. I see all of my other shares.
| Code: | #this is a very simple smb.conf to get you started
#coutesy rcrsn51 and gcmartin
[global]
workgroup = Workgroup
server string = Puppy Samba Server
security = user
map to guest = Bad Password
printing = cups

Your smb.conf should have a line like
| Code: | | netbios name = juju |

Is this a Slacko package? Is it compatible with Lupu?
Run "ps". Are the "smbd" and "nmbd" processes running?

If the JUJU name was set at firstrun, the netbios line is probably not the problem because the system name is already JUJU.
You share that the other systems cannot "see" your JUJU machine on your LAN.
Could you do the following and post back. Open an terminal on JUJU and exactly type | Code: | ip addr
smbclient -U% -L localhost
| The ip addr command will return your LAN IP address. Assuming you do NOT get any errors on the smbclient line, I would like you to run one other command on the JUJU machine in the terminal. Using your real IP address (instead of "theJUJUipAddress"), Run | Code: | | smbclient -U% -L theJUJUipAddress | If you get the same answer (no errors) when you run the last command, post them back here.
Finally, at any other LAN PC (not the JUJU SAMBA PC), open a terminal and type (exact same command you used on the JUJU PC...no difference!) | Code: | | smbclient -U% -L theJUJUipAddress | If you get ANY OTHER ANSWER OTHER THAN what you got on the JUJU machine, post the answer back here.
Here to help.

Connection to 192.168.2.13 failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

Do you have the Puppy firewall turned on?

Yes I do even though I am able to ping 192.168.2.13 no problem or is that something else?
That worked! I am able to connect but it is asking me for a user/password. Where do I set this up?

From which client machine? Try from a Puppy client and see what login credentials work - probably root:woofwoof.
