Wired Network issues

[Dyliak]

Hi all,

I have an odd network issues.
I have installed Kubuntu 7.04 on two amd 64 bit pc, wired to a router with switch capability. One Kubuntu release is 32 bit and one at 64 bit.
Both can connect perfectly to internet, but they can't see each other in local network.

What I mean is that they can also ping between them correctly, but the shares aren't seen and everytime I try to browse the local network with samba, it say that there isn't any network or a firewall is enabled.

I haven't changed anything from original installation, but I searched through all control panel and set all ip address and dns correctly. I also have compiled the hosts file, but they can't see each other.

Where I made mistakes?

Re: Wired Network issues

Did you install the samba server?.

By default kubuntu only ships with a samba client, that means that you can browse the shares and connect to other machine shares, but you can't share folders or printers, nor been seen on the net.

The server package is called samba in adept.

If you do have de server installed, con you try the following command:

$ smbclient -L computername

Where computer name is the name of one of the computers. Try both, it's own name and the other name. You can also try the IP addresses. Report back it results, it can give us some extra info.

And that's all that I can thing of for now...

Re: Wired Network issues

Hi,

I just installed samba server (I thought that was installed automatically ) and also the nfs server, but I get the same problem of before. I think I made error configuring all network parameters, but I can't figure what

anyway this is the answer to your test:

$ smbclient -L kamd64bis
Error connecting to 192.168.1.77 (Connection refused)
Connection to kamd64bis failed

and the same if I try with the other pc...

This is a ping results:

$ ping kamd64bis
PING kamd64bis (192.168.1.77) 56(84) bytes of data.

and similar results if I ping this pc with other one.

Re: Wired Network issues

You will need to configure your server. If you like to know what's going on in your system, check the famous (or infamous) Unicorn's page:

http://www.penguin.ch/dokuwiki/doku....ridge:smb_conf

If you like a more GUI approach, I find this tutorial nice:

http://kubuntu101.blogspot.com/2005/...ing-samba.html

And then you will need to workaround a bug and add users:

Hope that all this helps...

Re: Wired Network issues

The info you gave to me are useful, but I'm yet stuck now, because the shared folder are seen also from the other kubuntu system, but the folder inside are not visible. It say that the shared folder doesn't exist when I click on it!

I don't know where there is the mistake, this is my configuration:

Load smb config files from smb.conf
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[print$]"
Processing section "[CONDIVISO]"
Processing section "[LUXINTENEBRA]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

[LUXINTENEBRA]
path = /media/sda1/LuxinTenebra/
admin users = ivan
write list = anto
guest ok = Yes
case sensitive = No
strict locking = No
msdfs proxy = no

Where the two sharing are on a NTFS disk.

Can someone help me please?

Thank you

Re: Wired Network issues (SOLVED)

Ok, solved also this problem!

I configured by console the sharing inside the smb.conf file and added manually with smbpasswd user and password and now work all fine with the correct autentication!
