Anton -
I checked and changed some permissions on my directories that I had
defined as shares, as well as changing the permissions on the parent
directories, which I hadn't done originally. I also added both my linux
computer and my xp computer to the /etc/hosts file, and the
etc/samba/lmhosts file. Both files only had entries for localhost, no
other computers. Once I did all this, I can now access these shares
from my xp computer(!). How do I access my windows shares from my linux pc?
Commands executed:
smbclient -L localhost OK
smbclient -L <name of Linux computer> OK
smbclient -L <name of winxp computer> OK
smbclient -L <IP of WinXP computer> not OK:
response: added interface ip=192.168.1.101 bcast=192.168.1.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to 192.168.1.100 failed (Called name
not present)
session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
ping <name of WinXP computer> OK
ping <IP of winxp computer> OK
smbclient //localhost/<your share> OK
smbclient //<name of linux PC>/<your share> OK
Thx for your help. How do I access my windows shares from my linux pc?
