Networking :: After Upgrading From Win7-32 To WIN7-64 Can't Mount Cifs Shares
Jul 21, 2010
This is the first time I have run into issues mounting windows shares but I really can't figure this out. Can someone put me out of my windows misery please.
First off, last week I rebuilt my work PC fromWIN7 32bit to WIN7 64bit since then I can no longer mount the window share on my ubuntu server:
I recreated my windows share called "Linux" and used the properties, advanced sharing and added everyone, full access and my domain account full access.
If I browse to \ipaddress I can see my share and access it. From a XP machine I can see the share and access it.
From linux I use the same mount point as before, /linux I use the same fstab and it fails
Code:
I try this manually now:
Code:
Next I try to mount it:
Code:
I looked at my firewall rules and they seem ok.
Next test was connecting to my 2nd pc on windows XP no probs mounted first time.
What is wrong with my new Win 7 setup?

I'm trying to get my Ubuntu computer to connect my Windows 7 shares. I do have Samba installed and it can "see" my Windows 7 computer...however, I cannot connect to the machine. I think I've heard some issues with the way how Windows 7 deals with networking now and Samba doesn't work with Windows 7 now or something? If possible, I can always use an NFS server and client for my Windows 7 computer.

this subject seems to have been touched a hundred times, but after following all the advice google could provide, i'm still unable to mount cifs shares as user, here's the fstab line
<server> <mountpoint> cifs rw,noauto,credentials=/etc/gattonauth,uid=1000,gid=1000,dir_mode=0770 0 0
i've chowned the mountpoint to the user,
ive tried
chmod +s /sbin/mount.cifs /sbin/mount.cifs

Since "upgrading" (ha!) to lucid I have had a number of problems that I am working my way through. The latest is accessing samba shares from a Win7 PC. It takes minutes to open the requested share from the Windows 7 PC. File transfers, once the directory is accessed, can be measured in bytes. It is an absolute trickle.
AFAIK the smb.conf is unchanged and, in any case, there is no problem accessing the shares from another linux PC.

finding / mapping network shares on Win 7 guest in vmware. I am running 10.10 64 bit ubuntu and installed vmware workstation 7 (64 bit version). I created and installed win 7 (ultimate) vm. everything is good so far. The issue is I have a second desktop with ubuntu and I have shared 4 drives on that desktop. I want those shared available to the win 7 guest. And even after enabling the shared folders I do not see them.
Note: I have a shared folder on the same machine where I have vmware installed and win7 has assess to that drive.. its just that the shares on network are not available. Note2: i had virtualbox installed and it worked fine.

Home network with 3 Win7 boxes and one elderly Fedora 11 box (heloise) which has been running Samba well for several years. I've just built and started configuring a new Fedora 14 box (abelard) to replace heloise, but can't get the Win7 boxes to see shares on it.
Windows Explorer on the Win7 boxes can see abelard, and they can see the two shares I've created on it, but if I double-click on a share I get the "Windows cannot access" dialog.
I've set a Samba password for one user (ralph), the same as that user's login password, and set the "smb password file" entry to point to the resulting .tdb file.
All IP addresses are static (via Static DHCP), everybody can ping everybody, I can ssh from a Win7 box to abelard via Putty, and the network operates cleanly in all other respects. Here's my smb.conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2011/05/07 11:25:27
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME

In our current setup Win 7 users get prompted for a user-name and password which they don't need, and I have even tried root password. so I think i need to upgrade my samba server.

I just installed a F12 server at home, replacing a FC9 server that ran samba to share media files. I had no problems connecting to samba on FC9 (the version escapes me, sorry) however Win7 seems to be fighting the F12 samba (v3.4.7) trying to do the same thing. I create a directory share, it shows up in windows explorer, but when I try and open it win7 tells me I dont have rights to it.
I created a printer share via samba, and successfully connected to it from win7 and use it as my default printer, and that works OK. I know win7 uses smb2 as its samba protocol, and that might be some of the problem (or all of it), but I'm not sure. I also have googled and saw that people have had had issues with samba as their domain controller while trying to join win7 into the domain, however I do not use win7 as a pdc at all. The solution for this seems to be registry hacks, but I am not sure they apply to me as I haven't seen anyone correlate it. Tailing the logs, this is what I see when I try and explore the file share from win7:
Code:
[2010/04/26 13:09:56, 1] smbd/notify_inotify.c:421(inotify_watch)
inotify_add_watch returned Permission denied
Now I have edited smb.conf manually in the past but to try anything I've even played with webmin to see all the options I might be missing, still my conf is fairly simple:
[Code]...
I see the movies share in win7, but it doesn't let me in. I tried disabling requiring 128bit encryption for NTLM as one suggestion but that didn't work. Also changing local security policies to send LM & NTLM responses, and that didn't work.

Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 onto my new netbook from a USB stick. The laptop came with Win7 Starter, which I kept on a small partition. Installation was apparently successful, but when I start up the computer, it will go straight to Win7 and GRUB doesn't appear.

I had vista installed, then I installed Win7 on a dif. partition. Then I installed Ubuntu 11.4 over the vista partition (formatted first), and now I can't get into Win7. I'm really at a loss. I've tried the Win7 disk, and it doesn't detect the Win7 installation. I've also tried sudo update-grub, and it doesn't seem to detect the win7 install either. I've tried making the Win7 partition bootable using gpart as well. I'd like to dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu, however I need to do that.

I can't look at Google with different variations of "nfs" in search results anymore I am running suse 11.3 distro on my virtual machine , and it has nfsd (and idmapd) installed. I try to mount nfs directory from my Win7 host, and it works. But when I try accessing it - I get "access denied". It seems, that idmapd should be configured somehow to authorize requests from Windows, but it doesn't. Any hints on this one? Here's a bit of configs:

I've already set up my home network to work smoothly with Samba, mainly meaning that my HTPC running Win7 can share the user home folder. So currently is simply have a Nautilus bookmark set to 'smb://win7server/users/username/' and it connects just fine.
Now, I want to use 'mount' to make a connection to this same folder spot such that it is seen as part of the native file system. I've tried this: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.2.101/users/username/ /mnt/win7server
But I get a 'wrong fs type' warning. WTF? I thought that windows was cifs? You guys have any pointers to how to mount this? BTW, I must absolutely mount this file system, as I'm running some programs built with Open Motif, which do not support Samba.

I did upgrade my Ubuntu on 10.10 and had always a Dual-Boot with Win7. After the install of Ubuntu, my grub wouldn't work anymore. I could only boot into Ubuntu, but GRUB didn't even appear. I already tried but this brought only the installs for Ubuntu and GRUB didn't start. Afterwards I tried to recover my MBR with the help of my Win7 DVD, but this didn't work out too. Now I can't boot neither Ubuntu nor Win7 and have to run from the Live-CD. I also tried to fix it with but setup(hd0) only returned, Error 17: Cannot mount etc. What can I do? I need my Windows for work and I don't want to reinstall neither Ubuntu nor Win7. Output of fdisk -l gives:

After booting, the sda5 and sda8 mounts work fine, but the Windows shares haven't been mounted. If I enter the command: mount -a everything works fine. I don't know if this a timing issue, or something to do with the new systemd stuff, but it has happened in previous Fedora releases from time to time.

am using win7 trying to connect to a ubuntu box using vnc. I managed to get it working for me with the full gui viewable. Then one of my housemates played around with some display settings for the backround and all of a sudden vnd only comes up with a terminal.
I went into terminal and attempted to start gdm and got this output
root@ben-desktop:/home/ben# gdm start

i got 2 pc's on the same network, one runs linux ubuntu and the other win7 64bits. I installed samba for ubuntu since it seems to be the way to go to share folders and printers between linux and windows. Now I can see the folders on windows7 from linux but I cant see my linux machine on windows7.

I want to make a little network with my Windows 7 and my Xubuntu 9.10 computers. So I can view all my documents from my xubuntu machine through my windows 7 machine and my windows 7 machine through my xubuntu machine. I am going to use a cross-over LAN cable. I don't want to use any method that involves hacking both of my machines.

this has happened in different distros, so far i have tried slack, arch, and mint at work i have an xp box with a shared folder i created. on my linux box i setup fstab as follows
Code:
//winxp/temp$ /home/user/temp cifs rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/home/user/.creds 0 0
this gets mounted correctly and i can read/write the shared folder at home i have a win7 box that i create a share on and use the exact same code in fstab, but it wont mount the share. i get something like permission denied or access denied is there a difference in how winxp and win7 share folders? my usernames on the linux boxes match those of my windows boxes at each location. i have given my win accounts full access and control over the win shares.

I'm using 9.10 on a laptop that has Win7 in another partition. Within Win7 I get strong full bars for the wifi signal strength. On the same laptop in the same location, I get only 2 bars (low) wifi signal strength when I'm in Ubuntu 9.10.
I'm using the wifi transceiver built into my Acer Aspire 5732Z laptop.

I installed Ubuntu (the latest version) on a desktop computer for my kids mainly because the desktop has a single core procecessor. I have Win7PRo on my laptops and desktop and I was wondering how exactly do I connect the Ubuntu to the Win7 Homegroup so I can get to movies and music files etc. I put in my network password set for the network thru the belkin wired/wireless router and it didn't work. I put in my homegroup password and it didn't work. I have internet access thru the Ubuntu I just can't become part of the network with Ubuntu.

First off my wireless use to work on the live usb and now doesn't. It also has changed behavior in windows where the button to activate/deactivate is no longer flashing blue for orange while booting windows and then going solid blue by the time it gets to where I type my password in. Now it no longer does the flash and when I get to where I enter my password I have to push the button twice to get it blue (active). If this can't get resolved can you recommend a wireless N usb adapter that will work both in windows 7 and Ubuntu.

This is the scenario: gentoo box (distro shouldn't be relevant here) and win7 box. Gentoo box is dhcp and dns server, via dnsmasq. From win7, I can ping gentoo by both ip and name. No problem there. From Gentoo, I can ping win7 by ip, but not by name. The dnsmasq log seems to receive the name ok, it's "Tere-PC". I have been looking around for many hours now and I know there must be something simple I am not taking into account.
Code:
dnsmasq-dhcp: 55480937 available DHCP range: 192.168.0.50 -- 192.168.0.150
dnsmasq-dhcp: 55480937 client provides name: Tere-PC
dnsmasq-dhcp: 55480937 vendor class: MSFT 5.0 .....
Code:
# ping Tere-PC
ping: unknown host Tere-PC
Is there any way that dnsmasq, which is supposedly a dns server, will link this name to the given ip?

I have a box at home that I've installed CentOS 5 on to. I'm new to Linux, so before connecting it up to the router I wanted to try and understand the network settings, so I connected it directly to my other PC with an RJ45 cable. From Windows 7 I can ping all known static IP addresses, but from Linux I can only ping the Linux addresses, not the Windows 7 one. Below are the TCP/IP IPv4 settings, all IPv6 settings are set to auto-assign.
Windows box (uses wireless connection for the router):
Local Ethernet Adapter
IP Address: 30.10.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
No gateway, primary/secondary DNS.
Linux box:
Three adapters:
Two onboard LAN, both configured to:
IP Address: 30.10.0.2 / 30.10.0.3
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 30.10.0.1
No primary/secondary DNS.
One LinkSys PCI card:
IP Address: 20.10.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (my router)
Primary/Secondary DNS: my ISPs details.
The idea was to connect the box directly to the router (with RJ45) and to be able to remote login from my main PC to this one. This box is to be my home server, which I was going to put virtual machines on to for things like my development work and such.

so i found an older computer i want to play with as a file server. ubuntu server edition, installed gnome GUI (to make things easier for now, i plan on removing it later) and used [URL].. to configure my 1.5tb harddrive so my windows machines can access it. i had everything working but than a fatal crash made me start from scratch (os and all) now i am unable to access the samba share from a machine running windows 7, but i can access it from a machine running windows XP using the same login and password i set up for windows 7.this makes me believe it's a problem with windows 7 and not samba.
