Hello,
I am working on a embedded linux device with an arm processor. This
devices creates a dedicated network with a generic computer with Windows
Vista.
I have succesfully built samba for it, and runned it with commands:
smbd -D
nmbd -D
My configuration file is like this:
[global]
netbios name = MYDEVICE
name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server
security = share
load printers = no
guest account = root
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 50
interfaces = 1.1.1.1/24
wins support = yes
dns proxy = no
[public]
path = /
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
So in Windows Vista I can see files in the device through the path
\\1.1.1.1. Also I can see my device in "My network places" as
"MYDEVICE", but when I try to access files with this path (e.g
"\\MYDEVICE\public\smb.conf") I am always getting an error "Windows can
not access \\MYDEVICE, check name and network are right".
Please, whan am I doing wrong? I have also tried with other
configurations like:
[global]
netbios name = MYDEVICE
remote announce = 1.1.1.2
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server
security = share
load printers = no
guest account = root
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 50
interfaces = 1.1.1.1/24
local master = yes
os level = 33
preferred master = yes
wins support = yes
dns proxy = no
But I cannot get it to work properly. I am stuck. Could somebody please
help me with this? Thank you!!
