balz 0 Posted March 2, 2003 ok..apologies for that last question. I have a SAMBA Server up and running. I am using RH 8.0. I did use SWAT to configure all the options. I have added Samba Users with the user names from my W2K Professional box. When I browse the My Network Places I can see the Samba Server but everytime I click on it I get a error - \\Server is not accessible. The network path is not found. In Swat I did set up Shares to /home/%username%... Anyone have any ideas as to where I messed up the configuration? Cheers again B If you want me to post my smb.conf file I can do that.

I use an LDAP server to do global auth, I use SAMBA(CIFS) sharing, FTP sharing, NFS sharing, WebDAV sharing, among other things. All of my printers are Networked printers, hooked up via either using SMB printing or LPRng. Hopefully you can see where your problems exists. As this one is working flawlessly. Also, have all of your Windows machines add your SAMBA server as a WINS server(under advanced properties of TCP/IP in W2K and XPP. Under WINS in 95/98/ME)... You should be able to see thing poroperly. BTW, I am using a combo of Win98/WinME/WinNT4/Win2K/WinXPP on all of my workstations. We have yet to see a need to force Windows Xtra Pain on EVERYONE yet.

balz 0 Posted March 2, 2003 Thanks for your reply. I still can't get it working so I posted my smb.conf file. I now think the problem maybe somewhere else. Let me explain the setup I have a little better. I have my RH8 box with 2 interfaces. my external internet access which is DHCP. The second Interface is 10.0.0.1 and connects to a hub which then goes to the Windows Pro box with a IP of 10.0.0.2. Both boxes are pinging and working fine. I set up RH as a router. Like I said I can see the Samba server when I browse My Network Places but get that error. I did add samba users, the services are of course started, looks like the version is 2.2.5. I have been over the smb.conf file and other docs and I have no clue.

gfolkert 0 Posted March 3, 2003 Make sure you have IPTABLES setup properly... Then change interfaces = eth* to interfaces = eth1 (or your private side interface) It is probably the IPTABLES block those ports... IPTABLES can be sticky that way. Take a lookey at THIS IPTABLES SCRIPT It should help you out quite a bit. Edit to fit your environment. The Private interface is trusted so SAMBA should work just fine. On the Private interface.

balz 0 Posted March 3, 2003 Thanks. We are now moving into areas I am not comfortable with. I kinda understand the script you posted but to be honest it would be mostly guess work. So after all that I guess I will have to live without Networking until I understand IPtables more and what to do. I appreciate your time very much and now I know where the trouble is. Wish me luck. Again many thanks... Share this post Link to post

nz1845 0 Posted December 17, 2004 Ok I got a possible solution. I'm running fedora core 3 and I was having the same problem w/network path not being found tring to access the samba server from my Windoz Xtra Pain box. I completely disabled iptables but was still having the problem. I guess you need to make sure that the 'winbind' process as well as the smb process are running. After I started that process up I was able to access the samba share. good luck all `a~! Share this post Link to post
