Hi all,

my samba share cannot be accessed by Windows computers in my

network.

It always return "N-3 is not accessible. The network name cannot

be

found."

But I can access these Windows shares in Konqueror by

smb://IP_ADDRESS.

At the end of the mail is my smb.conf, please have a look.

Actually I have a simlar problem. When I start samba at boot, it

will

not

work.
When I start samba (sometimes needed multiple time before it really

starts)

using swat it works.
Beats the hell out of me why it behaves like this but it is

repeatable.

Hello All,

I had the same samba problem with FC4, along with a problem getting active my ppp0 internet DSL interface at boot, this two services

was

refusing to start at boot. This two services was working OK before

my

update from FC3

I think that it was having something to do with SE, because to

solution this I had to turn off SE, reboot, then turn on SE & reboot again, this (I think) relabeled the entire file system & after this; no more problems with the smb & ppp0 services getting working ok.

best regards

Can you give complete details with this solution? I haven't tried

this

but it seems logical. I've been racking my head with this same

problem,

But I'm still in FC3. I can smb over into Windows all day, but have

no

authority to smb from windows to Linux. How did do you turn-on, turn-

off

SE-Linux? Have you submitted this work around to anyone?

Hello Jay,

You can find the 'Security Level' gui utility in the 'System Configuration' menu. Run it (you need to provide root password), select the SELinux tab and deselect the Enabled checkbox, reboot, and again, select the Enabled checkbox, reboot, this may take a while because the relabel process.

Regarding your issues with your smb network, it would be usefull if

you provide us with a copy of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file to take a look into it.

Back in to FC3 I never had troubles with my smb network, this issue

came with my new FC4 installation. So I think that your trouble may be more a smb configuration one.

Thanks in advance
Teo,
I am also trying to setup a file and app server for a nonprofit org. I
am using the secure setup smb.conf configuration from samba by example.
This is on a FC3 fully updated Linux server.
This is the problem:
I am able to smbclient into the windows boxes, without any problem. And
I have matched tcp and udp ports in the iptables and windows firewall.
When I explore my network neighborhood Windows can see the Linux server,
But for some reason I cannot open the samba shares on the Linux side. I
get a message saying "I don't have permission to access the server". I
have added all users using smbpasswd -a and enabled them with -e even
for root. I have recently turned off seLinux to no effect.
Any ideas?
Attached is my /etc/smb.conf:
