Forget samba. Investigate the no IPv4 issue, unless it is intentional and you only want IPv6. How is your IPv4 networking configured? Automatic? then look at your router.

How do I investigate IPv4 issue which, which you recommend?

If you're connected directly to the DSL modem, it should be providing IPv4 addresses via DHCP. Fire up Wireshark and see what happens when you connect the computer to the modem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Does your PPPoE connection work? You said it has an address. If so, then why do you need an IPv4 address on the network card. All you need for PPPoE is a working Ethernet connection, not IP. PPPoE means Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet. What a lot of people have forgotten or never knew is that IP is just one protocol of many that can be used over an Ethernet connection. Years ago, Novell's IPX was common, along with the IBM & Microsoft NetBIOS/NetBEUI. It was only in the mid, late 90's that we started seeing IPv4 commonly used on networks. Back when I was at IBM, in the late '90s, we had NetBios, SNA & IPv4 on the token ring network, but NetBIOS & SNA carried the bulk of the traffic. IPv4 was used only for accessing the Internet. Then, we moved Lotus Notes and a few other apps onto IPv4 and went from there. These days, the world is moving to IPv6. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Because you need a Local Area Network in order to use Samba, and typically everybody has it on the eth connection (or the wlan), and the eth is connected to a router and to the rest of the computers on the LAN.

First of all, it doesn't MATTER what anyone thinks about your use case... If you have the use case, you have no need or obligation to explain or justify it to ANYONE.

Yes, it does. If there is no LAN, there is no SAMBA. We need to know where is the LAN, where is the missing network interface that SAMBA uses. It turns out to be an internal interface, virtual. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Ahh! I start to understand.

Still, Samba needs an interface to hook on network when it starts.

You have a ppp0, with an internet address. So not this one. You have an eth2 that is connected to a modem DSL device. This one is not working, gets neither IPv4, nor IPv6 address (not one that counts). What is confusing about this is that you already have a ppp0 for internet, so what is this, a LAN of some sort, another internet connection? Nevermind, it does not matter, I think, but it would be interesting to know. The problem is making it work.

network card in 12.2: eth0

There are things transmitted and received, but no address at all.

network card in Leap 42.2: eth2

A link local IPv6 address, this doesn't count, it is automatic. No IPv4 address, no IPv4 address. But 26 megabytes received, 3 sent.

You use network manager on both operating systems, works in neither. So I assume that NM is not the issue, because I assume that 12.2 was the original working setup.

So we get back to "Why there is no IPv4/IPv6 address in eth2"?

I would be looking at that DSL device. Is it supposed to give you an address via DHCP? Or are you supposed to assign an IP to the interface manually? That is the most important question now.

Thanks Carlos. It seems we are getting closer. I do not think it's the DSL modem itself. It's the configuration. The two systems are not configured the same, and they are using different samba versions too. In openSUSE 12.2 I don't use network manager, I use traditional ifup method. DSL is configured in YaST. In Leap 42.2 I use network manager (because in Leap it's not possible to set up DSL with traditional ifup/wicked). In 12.2 YaST IPv6 is disabled. I don't use DHCP, zeroconf is set. In Leap network manager I don't know how the IP address is assigned because I can't see any options changing/reporting this. So there are several options to identify the cause of the problem: -- Test network manager in 12.2 if it's network manager issue. -- Test traditional ifup in Leap 42.2 - not possilke -- Install 12.2 samba version in Leap and test it if works. -- Install Leap samba version in 12.2 and test it - may not be possible.

Get a network interface working on eth.

While traveling with my laptop, I used to often encounter this. Frequently I do not bother to connect to any network, because I'm going to be working on software for my day-job, which requires a couple windows virtual machines. Of course the Linux machine itself was the samba server for these virtual machines. I found I had to start at least one VMWare machine to get vmware to start it's network so that Adapter Vmnet(x) would appear and make samba happy. I could also user VMware's "host only" networking for this, which causes a new adapter to appear on the host but which needs no external connection. Virtualbox also supports a Host Only Adapter that operates similarly. You just have to add this adapter to the list of adapters that Samba services in smb.conf Somewhere along the way Vmware Workstation gained the ability to start its network at boot time and the problem pretty much vanished. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done.

According to this the problem is that I don't have a IPv4 non-localhost network insterface, which is true according to ifconfig:

# ifconfig eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xxxxxxxxxxxxx inet6 addr: abcd::abcd:abcd:abcd:abcd/64 Scope:Link

This inet 6 address is a public internet address?

I don't know, I think probably not. It is a link-local address if I remember correctly. I cannot check, because I am at another system now. It looked something like fe80::..........

Yes, that's a link local address, which starts with fe80. There's no need to hide it, as no one can reach it from outside your network. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
