Hi,
I've got a strange problem.. I've installed samba on a Sun machine running
Solaris 2.5.1. Everything seems to work well, up until I try to mount my
home directory from a Win95 PC.
I've gone through the DIAGNOSIS.txt file, and everything up to and
including stop 7 (smbclient '\\BIGSERVER\TMP') works great... so from what
I can tell, its working.
However, when I attempt to mount from a PC, I get the error message:
c:\\windows> net view \\hagler
Error 3545: You cannot start or stop the network from within an
MS-DOS window
from explorer:
trying to mount \\hagler\sflynn
error: The following error occurred while trying to connect
J: to \\hagler\sflynn
The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it
correctly, and try again.
However:
ROOT at hagler.ph.dhr.state.ga.us>bin/smbclient '\\hagler\sflynn'
Added interface ip=167.193.144.45 bcast=167.193.144.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
Server time is Thu May 14 14:40:26 1998
Timezone is UTC-4.0
Password:
Domain=[DHR] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 1.9.18p3]
security=share
smb: \>
my smb.conf file looks like:
sflynn at hagler.ph.dhr.state.ga.us>cat lib/smb.conf
workgroup = DHR
[homes]
guest ok = no
writeable=yes
[tmp]
comment = temporary files
path = /tmp
I've very confused.. I've used samba before, however, I've never installed
it from scratch myself....
Any help would be greatly apreciated... please send responses to
sflynn at ee.gatech.edu, since I'm not subscribed to the list... I'll send
the answer back if we can find one!
Thanks in advance!!!!
