I've got a bit of a problemette at the moment. Our network is an amalgamation of Windows 9x, Windows NT (Workstation and Server), SuSE Linux and MacOS machines. The Windows machines are all on a TCP/IP ethernet, with the MacOS machines on their own little AppleTalk network. The Linux machines are NFS/NIS sharing to each other. I'd like to integrate all of the different networks into one, so that all of the resources are sharable. I've begin to do this by moving over to TCP/IP. I've been trying to use Samba, and have successfully managed to get Windows to connect to a Linux machine. The other way around, however, is a big no-no. I can't, and I've tried many times, to get Linux to access a Windows share. I have yet to try it with MacOS, but expect the same, if not more, problems. Any suggestions as to how I can get the Linux boxes to see Windows? I need all of the machines, and can't move them all to Linux (much to my despair). Any help would be appreciated!

are you using smbmount to do this ? if so what are the errors you get. Can you ping back and forth ? What version of suse , and samba are you using . The more info you can post , the more likely some one can help. what you are doing makes sence. You will want to spend some time orginizuing it all. With samba you can "trick" all the others into thinking is a server. If you have more than a dozen machines , you will want to quit it down a bit. You can staqt by adding all the tcp/ip Numbsers and machine / workgroup names in the host. You can also make the samba do the name translation , Wins I think. Not sure thought. am new at this.

I too have had problems with that. I have been able to get my Windows machines to see and work with my box but I can not get my linux box to do it the other way around. Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Dave Kelly wrote:

Need a bit more info here. What arguments are you giving to smbmount when you try to mount a Windows share from Linux? Also, for Dave's Mac issue he would need to install client software on the Macs to access Windows shares (I believe one of the programs is called Dave). Greg On Wed, 28 Jul 1999, Teresa D.

Hi, I would supply more information, but since my last attempt to get it to work(a couple of weeks ago and before I joined this list), I have some how completely broken it. I can't see my Samba server from the NT/Win95 side now at all. I am going to start from scratch again and see what happens. If I get completely stuck again, I will document errors and all and submit them. I appreciate all the responses from everyone. This leaves me very hopeful that I will get this up and going with everyone's help. Thanks. Teresa Greg Thomas wrote:

One thing I found out is that if you have the dummy interface enabled, the Samba server cannot be seen/browsed though it can be accessed. HTH, Jeff Quoting Teresa D. Dodson <tdodson@rapidnet.com>:

Hi, I have got Samba to "look" at my Windows NT and 95 share quite successfully. The only way I got this to work is by getting the Win95 boxes to see my Linux machine. Then setting all the shares on my linux box to public. Sounds strange huh? On the linux box, I did use 'smbmount' with all the required options taken from the man page to mount a share and use it very well, without a hitch. * If you email me privately I will give you the scripts that are set up in Samba and the config for the win95 machines to see each other. * Tom Watts.
