Actually, many of us here have plenty of networking experience. The problem is lack of info from the OP about what he's trying to do and what problems he's experiencing. For example, he talks about problems logging into the server, but hasn't mentioned if he can ping the server. If he can't ping it, he can't log onto it.
You and I know to approach the problem in parts, back off along the problem chain and determine what does work then move along step by step. This 'scientific' & "methodological" approach has become second nature to us. I don't know about you but I can't remember doing things any other way ... It may seem pedantic to a younger generation but this reductionist approach is extremely powerful and when properly applied is actually very rapid in converging on the real problem. You and I think in terms of a test being related to an objective and that answer conveying information that lets us traverse a 'decision tree' in the fault determination approach. I was taught this as FMEA but the principle is quite general. Build up what you are sure of and can verify. The problem is that doing it by email with the time lags and with a proxy agent who has his own ideas and doesn't follow the Q&A & testing protocols, we can't get very far fast. Like you, I agree that the connectivity problem and the layered. The OP has made some confusing statement about being able to "see" (whatever that means) the files but not log in to "access" them. My experience with Samba is that f you can't log in you can't see/list the files anyway. So there's something here we're not being told. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
