Hi
I have a problem with getting samba to play nice with my XP boxs.
In short Samba has happily allowed me to see my XP shared directories
for a 3-4 months, however the other night I restarted my router
therefore disabling my LAN connections without first umounting my
samba shares [oops] I have found in the past that this can confuse
samba and usually takes some messing to fix.
However when my LAN came back up I realised my error so rebooted XP
machine and Gentoo in order to reset and carry on as usual however for
some reason I can no longer mount my XP shares.
Note that I have changed no config files on either machines and IP's
are same and so on,
Some output :-
genstu stuart # smbtree
Password:
STUNET
\\NEWSTU newstucomp
failed tcon_X with NT_STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME
\\GENSTU genstu
\\GENSTU\ADMIN$ IPC Service (genstu)
\\GENSTU\IPC$ IPC Service (genstu)
\\GENSTU\data Samshare
\\CALCOMP Calcomp
\\CALCOMP\C$ Default share
\\CALCOMP\ADMIN$ Remote Admin
\\CALCOMP\E
\\CALCOMP\D
\\CALCOMP\C
\\CALCOMP\SharedDocs
\\CALCOMP\D$ Default share
\\CALCOMP\IPC$ Remote IPC
THE ERROR
29919: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an
invalid share name)
SMB connection failed
It is NEWSTU that I am really trying to connect to and you can see
that there is something wrong there, however if I try to mount one of
the CALCOMP shares the same error arrives.
I use Lineighbourhood to manage this and till now have had no issues.
Can anyone suggest a way forward?
Have there been any recent changes to a package affecting samba or
somthing dependant? [I had not rebooted my Gentoo box for 18 Days so
prehaps something changed on reboot?]
mmm minor flash of inspiration as writing, XP made some background
updates about a week ago is anyone aware if they have tightend their
security in some way that may be causing this?
Regardless of the result thanks for reading :]
