[Samba] Samba-3.6.1 release IPV6 issue

[Prashant Kashyap]

Hi David,

   Following are the steps I used:

On the Device

1>     Assign a IPv6 address to the interface

2000::2

2>     Open the 445 port using telnetd. After opening it is listening at
ipv6 iaddress.

3>     Run smbd

smbd  -s smb.conf

 

On the Windows 7 PC

1>     Assign a IPv6 address to interface 2000::1

2>     Try to connect using

\\2000--2.ipv6-literal.net\public

Or using mapping option 

After doing this I can see the connection is established using netstat
cmd on the device and PC. But after some times it returns an error on PC


"mapped network drive could not be created because of the following
error occurred: The specified network name is no longer available"

 

Please note that I am able to access it with ipv4 address and also ping
is working for ipv6 address.

I am also attaching the smb.conf file which I am using.

 

Regards,

Prashant

Hi. That would be my question exactly. Could you provide us with
examples of the addresses/commands you are using?

	Hi David/Takahashi,
	  Thanks for your response.
	 
	I am trying this way only, but could able to connect it.
	It would be grateful if you could provide the complete detail.
	 
	After connecting it returns a error : network name is not
available.

 
Have you used a global IPv6 address (not link/site local) ?
