hi all,
i've spent an incredible amount of time trying to get samba working
between linux (satan, debian testing, samba 3.0.0) and win2k (lucifer)
and i'm at wit's end. i'm begging for help.
i spent most of the morning reading samba docs, and have gone from
knowing zilch about MS networking to, well, a little something about MS
networking.
my ultimate goal is to be able to click "my network places | computers
near me" from win2k and browse satan's filesystem. here's what i've
done:
1. account "p" exists on both machines and has same password. the
workgroup on both linux and win2k is "testgroup".
2. i want linux to be the WINS server, so i've entered linux's IP
address in the WINS server box on win2k.
3. i want linux to be the browse master. i've set:
workgroup = testgroup
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
wins support = yes
os level = 100
so samba should win negotiations of who's master.
4. i've gone through diagnostics.txt in the samba documentation. all
tests worked fine up till "test 8":
On the PC type the command "net view \\BIGSERVER".
when i type this, i see:
System error 64 has occured.
The specified network name is no longer avilable.
5. i've gone through each of the fixes listed in diagnostics.txt:
* fixup the nmbd installation (i *think* this is ok)
* add linux IP to wins server box. (check)
* enable windows name resolution via DNS in the advanced
section of the tcp/ip setup. (check, i think. there's no
box with "enable windows name resolution", but the other boxes
seem to indicate that DNS is enabled)
* add BIGSERVER to your lmhosts file. (if the lmosts file has the
same format as /etc/hosts, then check)
6. when i double click "my network places" | "computers near me", a pop
appears that says:
"Testgroup is not accessible. The network path was not found."
7. /var/lib/samba/wins.dat looks like win2k at least broadcasted itself
to linux, although i'm not sure what each entry means:
VERSION 1 0
"LUCIFER#00" 1067745381 192.168.0.4 64R
"LUCIFER#03" 1067745381 192.168.0.4 64R
"LUCIFER#20" 1067745381 192.168.0.4 64R
"NAVALLE#00" 1067790845 192.168.0.3 4R
"NAVALLE#03" 1067790845 192.168.0.3 4R
"NAVALLE#20" 1067744970 192.168.0.3 4R
"P#03" 1067745415 192.168.0.4 64R
"SATAN#00" 1067705724 192.168.0.2 66R
"SATAN#03" 1067705724 192.168.0.2 66R
"SATAN#20" 1067705724 192.168.0.2 66R
"TESTGROUP#00" 1067705724 255.255.255.255 e4R
"TESTGROUP#1b" 1067705724 192.168.0.2 64R
"TESTGROUP#1e" 1067705724 255.255.255.255 e4R
"WORKGROUP#00" 1067743623 255.255.255.255 e4R
8. there is a win98 system on my home network, navalle. samba seems to
work great between linux and win98. i can browse linux from win98
and vice versa. this makes me think the problem is with win2k.
i know this is a tremendous post, and i graciously thank you for reading
down this far. i'm desperate to get this working, and have posted as
thorough a report as i could. i'd be happy to post any more info that's
required.
thank you VERY much!
