having some YASSM Samba issues

[hurricane567]

So i have TOWER, a Win7 PC and i had TVPC1, a Puppy Linux machine. TOWER was already rigged to share some files over the network and, utilizing YASSM Samba, i could access those files on TVPC1. TVPC1 got upgraded to a new computer, TVPC2, which i put Puppy on again, and used YASSM Samba to access files on TOWER, worked like a champ for ONE DAY. Today, nothing. I made no changes TOWER. I reset both computers and the router, and tried booting TVPC2 off the Puppy Linux CD to no avail. The only thing i can figure is that Microsoft pushed some sort of win 7 update that broke the sharing. aNY ideas?

Hello @Hurricane567

On the TVPC2, type this in a terminal window

Code: Select all

smbclient -U% -L TOWER

Better, if you know the IP address of TOWER, type this in the terminal window

Code: Select all

smbclient -U% -L TOWER'sIPaddress

This will ask for the valid password that is recognized on TOWER.

Does TVPC2 show you TOWER's resources being shared? Post results.

You may have a username+password issue coming from TVPC to TOWER. The -U% parm from above, can also be coded

Code: Select all

smbclient -U AusernameONtower -L TOWER

Which PUP distro is used on TVPC2?

"connection to TOWER failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)"

can't see why TVPC2 detected the correct network name initially then forgot it. I am attached to the internet, i made this thread from TVPC2

Which PUP distro is used on TVPC2?

Slacko 5.7 non-pae

@hurricane: Try YASSMv2.7.

Have you turned on the firewall on the Puppy machine?

No reply?

Free time is hard to come by thanks for the help, the fire wall on TVPC2 is off, same result. I'll see what yassmv2.7 does and post results

YASSM 2.7 fixed it, ty for the help!

YASSM 2.7 fixed it

Excellent. But are you absolutely certain that the firewall is turned off? Run the command

Code: Select all

lsmod | grep iptable

If anything is reported, the firewall is still running, and it would cause your problem with the previous version of YASSM.
