Hi SYS: redhat fedora 4, samba 3.0.14a-2 This is the first time I have had trouble configuring samba but I am completely stuck. I have a basic smb.conf (see below) and testparm says it's fine. The path to the one share exists and the permissions a 0777. However no clients can reach it. Unix smbclient can not access it: [root]# smbclient -L polaris Error connecting to 194.200.237.132 (No route to host) Connection to polaris failed Windows clients says permission denied and the network path was not found. NT4 server-manager sees the server but can't reach it. net rpc join fails with "Unable to find a suitable server" tcpdump reports: "unreachable - admin prohibited" when I listen on the interface for incoming traffic from a client. I can ping the server from other hosts (by hostname if the host has the server in its hosts file or by IP otherwise) but I am pretty sure this is a network/access problem. The one area I am not sure about is the firewall. I left this enabled during the install of redhat. The iptables are listed at the end of this mail. portscan shows 139 running with netbios-ssn so I am not sure if this means traffic is allowed through or not. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanx.
