Trying to demo linux for a client that has an AppleShare 6.3.x server. I can connect to server with Windows client. I cannot connect to it with samba... mount -t smbfs -o "username=administrator,password=password" //SERVER/Share /mnt/mountpoint After a 30 second effort, it returns "protocol error" likewise... smbclient -L //SERVER or smbclient -L //ip_address doesn't work either - it's strange. I tried encrypt passwords = yes and I tried it with no and it didn't make a difference. The computer connected to my Windows server at home - no problem and I do this all the time. The weak link is obviously the way AppleShare 6.3 server serves SMB connections. Has anyone gotten this type of setup to work? Workgroup Name is correct. also - related... I'm having trouble connecting to either printer in the office...The first is an HP LaserJet IIISi (very old network card) and a Toshiba Copier. Both support TCP/IP but I can't use LPR to print to either. I have tried to connect using LPR to AppleShare 6.3 print server but the HP just gets the page, flashes a bit and then resets back to ready mode. Apparently AppleShare 6.3 doesn't make the printers available as an Windows printer and the NIC on the IIISi apparently doesn't support HPJetAdmin type connections either - because of it's ancient roots. If you have networked laserprinters that don't really support true LPR, is there a way to make them work? I'll take suggestions on either topic, I spent an hour and a half on those problems and I'm stumped.
