Hi all, due to a problem with my firewall, which provides also a cache name service, was not running. This seemed to produce some problems with another Linux server which provides samba service, since all my windows clients were unable to contact the smb share. After the firewall has restarted, and so named was, the samba restart normally. Now, the strange thing was that also specifying a share thru IP address we were unable to find the share: \\192.168.1.3\project => unable to find the file, check that the path is right Can anybody explain me why, even if the share were specified with an IP address, they were unavailable until the name server re-came up? I've tried to reboot the smb service, without success, and I'm asking an explanation since I'm not so expert about samba.
