linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Okay I apologize for talking about one problem I posted a few months back, got swamped with other more important projects at the office. First, Samba is working just fine among all the computers. Obviously I have the server static. Issue, the Server it'self cannot access the Network Folder at all!? I will click the Browse Network, sometimes it wont even let me in. Other times it will show the Windows and if I click it it would show the companies workgroup name (if I take my time clicking it); then eventually give me an error message: "Failed to retrieve share list from server" (HowTos)

Stories similar to Fedora 17 two Samba Issues

Hi guysI installed gvfs-smb to access samba shares in Nautilus. Now there is an icon in the "Browse Network" section of Nautilus called "Windows Network". This link works sporadically. Sometimes I open it and no workgroups are present. Sometimes I'll see a workgroup but no shares are available.

I installed Fedora 17 including all updates. I need to browse the Windows network where I can access and/or view the available shares (folders and printers). I cannot browse the Windows computers on the network. When I open Files from the Favorites bar and click on Browse Network, I see the "Windows Network" icon.

[ubuntu] Samba issue 2 years 46 weeks ago

*sigh* So sick of this. Samba has consistently plagued me from the moment I began using Ubuntu two or so years ago.

Assalam o Alaikum! After configuring and starting service of samba, when I access shared folder from windows XP it gives this error " Network Route was not found". My server IP 192.168.1.252, client is on same network.

selinux is disabled smb,conf:

Code: workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server Version %v

; netbios name = MYSERVER

interfaces = eth0 192.168.1.252/24 hos

I have a Synology NAS with a "Windows" share configured. When I click "Browse Network" => "Windows Network" in Nautilus, all I get is:

"Unable to mount location

Failed to retrieve share list from server "

Note: This has worked 100% fine before, and I HAVEN'T CHANGED ANYTHING.

Any ideas?

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 with Samba and Webmin. I set up a simple share with permissions 775. Add a user to the share. Sync my Linux users and groups with Samba.

I can see the server by name "\\server\test" from windows. I cannot access the share by name. I get a message immediately that says that I do not have permission.

[ubuntu] Help with Samba 43 weeks 4 days ago

Weird problem. When I use nautilus and try to "Browse Network" by opening shares on another computer in my network, I get an error message that Ubuntu "failed to retrieve share list from server."

However, if I open a terminal and type: nautilus smb//192.168.1.105, I can browse all the shares perfectly.

Can somone help me troubleshoot this?

Thanks!

Salvete! I have a machine running CentOS 6.2.
