    It's still not working, but I'm now confident I'm doing the right things.

    Are you getting any errors?

    Re: Howto: Fix Windows share browsing issues

    I just want to add that I posted a question about a similar Windows share issue (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1451837) and was referred to this thread. I applied the fixes shown on the first page of this thread, rebooted Ubuntu, and it works.

    I'm wondering if these fixes will get overwritten if I upgrade to the next level of ubuntu, like Lucid Whatsit.

    Fantastic!

    Yes, they most likely will be overwritten. You will probably have to reapply them after updating to Lucid.

    Sorry.

    Re: Howto: Fix Windows share browsing issues

    First off, I want to say THANK YOU! to DMIZER for this thread. I've been working on this for days with no luck until I found the answers here! Hopefully you can take it one more step for me (please!).

    I'm running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on a MacBook Pro laptop, with Parallels 5.0. In Parallels I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 and Ubuntu 9.10.

    I was having problems with NT_CONNECTION_REFUSED errors before I read this thread. Changes that were suggested resolved all the issues I had, but a new one has surfaced.

    Originally, when I ran smbtree, I could see all the information for MBP17, my OS X system, but the MBP17U (Ubuntu) and SERVER2 (XP) got the connection refused errors. Now, I can see all the information for the Ubuntu & XP systems, but the OS X system is getting the following error:

    anonymous failed session setup with NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

    Can anyone help me out with this one? I haven't found anything relevant on the web yet.
    Thanks,
    Peter V.

    Re: Howto: Fix Windows share browsing issues

    Hi,

    dmizer I've followed all you're instructions (thx by the way) and I've read every post in this threads.

    My problem:
    I can view all of my windows xp share and access any folder that is on the c: drive of the Xp machine. But I cant access any folder on the d: drive.

    When I click on the shared folders in the d: drive from nautilus I get this error "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Name of the share"."

    my samba config file

    Code:
    #
    # Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
    #
    #
    # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
    # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
    # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which 
    # are not shown in this example
    #
    # Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as
    # commented-out examples in this file.
    #  - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting
    #    differs from the default Samba behaviour
    #  - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default
    #    behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important
    #    enough to be mentioned here
    #
    # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
    # "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic 
    # errors. 
    # A well-established practice is to name the original file
    # "smb.conf.master" and create the "real" config file with
    # testparm -s smb.conf.master >smb.conf
    # This minimizes the size of the really used smb.conf file
    # which, according to the Samba Team, impacts performance
    # However, use this with caution if your smb.conf file contains nested
    # "include" statements. See Debian bug #483187 for a case
    # where using a master file is not a good idea.

    Unfortunately, I have not had much success in getting OSX to talk to Ubuntu via Samba. That's not to say it's not possible, but I just haven't been successful.

    Rather than trying to get everything to work over samba, I suggest you use NFS to perform file sharing between OSX and Ubuntu. For Ubuntu, there is a nice NFS howto in my sig. You'll be able to find many good howtos for NFS in OSX online.

    You'll need to check two sets of permission levels on the D drive. You'll need to check all of the share permissions on all shared drives on the D drive. You'll also need to check the folder and file permissions on the folders and drive itself.

    You'll need to check two sets of permission levels on the D drive. You'll need to check all of the share permissions on all shared drives on the D drive. You'll also need to check the folder and file permissions on the folders and drive itself.

    Thanks again dmizer

    Just tried this solution and my network is back 100%.

    Only thing I had to do beside what you and the article linked pointed, was to un-share and re-share the folders in the windows machine.

    Re: Howto: Fix Windows share browsing issues

    hi
    i have a few 8.04 computers running on a network, the only way i can share files between 8.04 computers over my network is by going into nautilus and sharing them, and let nautilus install the smb files and set permission, after that i set my smb password in terminal, and with a desk top launcher i can open a shared home directory on another ubuntu computer. i have noticed that doing it this way doesn't change my smb.conf file but it works, after made the changes at the beginning of this post i can now see the other computers, but can't open the shared files,

    my question is should i be able to open another shared file on another ubuntu computer through places > network >

    i have noticed if i do a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04.3 with out any updates i can go to places > network > and see all my ubuntu and windows computers and open any shared files but as soon as i up date that computer the places > network > quits working

    this is a little confusing one ubuntu computer should share with another ubuntu computer easily i would thing i'm sure there is something i'm missing ?

    any thoughts ???
