I am unable to access samba share from my windows machine. I am getting the following error, pls look at the snapshot..

Can you ping the Samba box from your Windows machine, successfully?

Are there any firewalls involved? If yes, they've been configured properly?

[karthick87]

I am able to ping the samba box from the windows machine. And no firewalls were involved..

Please post the output of each of the following commands:

testparm -s
net usershare info --long
smbtree

[Morbius1]

Let's get rid of the easy ones first:

[1]Change these parameters:

security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = No

To this:

security = user
encrypt passwords = Yes

And add one more to the [global] section:

map to guest = Bad User

[2] You have the wrong syntax on all your hosts deny / allow parameters. There is no wild card "*" it's simply a space. So for example this:

hosts deny = 172.29.26.*, 172.29.30.*

Becomes:

hosts deny = 172.29.26. , 172.29.30.

Save your smb.conf and restart samba:

sudo service smbd restart

You have a couple of other parameters that I've never seen before so let's see how far this gets you before we do anything else.

By the way i have to tell you one thing before we start digging for the solution. I can access samba share from all my windows machines except one machine..

I badly need to access samba share from that windows machine. I will change the configuration as refered by you in your previous post and i will update you the result tonight..

If you can access that server from all your machines except 1 despite having "encrypt passwords = No" and despite having all the errors reported by testparm then I truly don't know what the problem is and have no clue how to fix it.
