Sorry folks, I've been tied up at work. I'll try to reply to everyone here. If I've missed someone please let me know.
Thank you.
Try this command instead:
Two things I need to see here.Code:smbclient -L DLINK-80CEDB
1) Please post the output of:
2) Your smb.conf does not give your Ubuntu computer a netbios name. Please add an option after "workgroup = MSHOME" (highlighted above in red) which can be used to identify your computer on the network like so:Code:smbclient -L OFFICE
replace "Ubuntu_computer_name" with whatever you'd like your ubuntu computer to be known as on your network (usually whatever comes after the @ symbol in your cli prompt.Code:netbios name = Ubuntu_computer_name
Then, restart your samba server with the following command:
My best suggestion to you is to mount this device with FTP instead of SMB. I only looked briefly at the specs for your device, but my success rate with NAS devices in this thread has been limited. If you have problems with FTP as well, let me know and I'll try to dig deeper.Code:sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
I am so glad you got that working! As I mentioned above, NAS devices just don't seem to cooperate well with CIFS.
The whole network doesn't have to be AD. The department folders may be on a simple samba server for easy access, and your personal folder restricted by AD for security reasons. Also, an AD server can handle permissions differently according to the needs of the shares. In other words, open shares can be given access outside of AD logins while your personal shares remain protected.
That said, my understanding of AD is limited, and I have very little experience with it. However, even if AD is NOT the problem, it's still a good idea to investigate it as a potential problem.
