My shares were working now there lost!
I have no idea what to look for in /etc/smb.conf but something has gone wrong with "my shares". I usually mapped to my e-smith 4.1.2 box via
\1.2.3.4\ibayname and ticked the connect on login ie on my Win98 box.This worked fine for ages then its gone. No changes ... nothing.
Now I cannot get the ibay at all (for over a week now)
The following may help.
1. samba seems to be running OK on the e-smith box(see following)
[root@dhs /root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status
smbd (pid 1266) is running...
nmbd (pid 1280 1277) is running...
2. I have a group called managers which I (sam) am a user
The ibay called "staff" has group:managers write=group,read=group and Entire Internet(password required outside local network) and php,cgi enabled.
None of this has changed. It has been working fine.
3. I log onto windows as sam and the connection cannot find \1.2.3.4\staff saying "the network name cannot be found". Pinging 1.2.3.4 gives replies.
Any help would be appreciated.
