Networking :: Windows 7 Users Can't Connect To Samba Server After Dhcp Config
Jun 27, 2011
I have an ubuntu 11,04 samba domain server, I want to also configure this machine to work as a dhcp server, however this have give me some issues with te windows 7 workstations, my guest is that it have something to do with the iptables because those station do join the samba domain went both server and workstation are conected to a router.
This is the script I use at boot
Code:
#FOR SHARED INTERNET
/sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables --table nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j MASQUERADE
[code]....
I haven't test it with windows xp station but I have use the same code in the past with no problems, and since this is my first time joining windows 7 station i belive there must be some other port that need fowarding.
I'm establishing a server that runs DHCP server, NAT gateway and VPN server. It have two physical interfaces, one for intranet and one for internet. The NAT gateway will give internet access for intranet. Another site will connect to this server by VPN. I need the server to assign a different subnet for that site other than the local site. Do anyone know how to config the DHCP server? Should I config the client classing, and how to do it?
I've done all this config [URL] This config for the "foo" folder:
("pruebas" its a user)
Code:
[foo] path = /home/pruebas ready only = no guest ok = yes
[code]....
I have the [HOME] code too, its everything fine with it, and I cant connect with another user ("alfredo") from Red Hat to Windows XP with no problem... but as soon as I double click in "foo" directory, appears this:
[URL]
Already tried to disconnect from windows the directories with "net use" but it doesn't work
I`am just trying to connect Samba with ldap to make it simpler for the users to log in. We have already attached squid, so by that we thought it would be easy to do the same with samba. I think we did something wrong with the ldap config for the os with is btw:
Quote: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) VERSION = 11 PATCHLEVEL = 1 We added Quote: ldap admin dn = cn=xxx,o=xxx
Does anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to set up a DHCP server and SAMBA as a windows domain controller? I can't really find good detailed guides by searching google.
My interest to be able to join my windows workgroup and be able to work with the windows shares . I am running Fedora 12 in a virtual machine as guest OS. I know I have to install Samba which does not come installed in Fedora 12. Do I need to configure samba after installation if my only interest is to work on windows shares from Fedora and not the other way around? .
I'm not sure if this is even possible and I've tired searching, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a few shares setup in Samba. I want them to prompt for a username and password. If an invalid user/pass is entered I want the user to be authenticated as a guest.
I'll try not to be too wordy. Want to get my openSUSE 11.2 (fresh install) laptop to see my network shares ...not to be a server or share any files. I've looked at 50 websites and everything seems to be "server" and "share" oriented. Maybe I (newb) am confused by the terminology...
I have a router that provides DHCP. My LAN PC's consist of a Vista laptop, an XP DAW, and a Kubuntu file server. Somehow I got Kubuntu configured properly, all of the Windows machines can access it and vice-versa. The Kubuntu smb.conf does not work on this laptop, and it seems overkill -no shares needed here. And yes, I get DHCP and interweb on the laptop -posted this with it.
All I want is access to my (other) network drives from this (openSUSE 11.2) laptop. Not a server, not to share. This is easy... right? It's driving me nuts Is there a Samba configuration that will let me jump onto networks and surf Windows/Samba shares like any old Windoze box browsing Network Neighborhood? Do I have to be a Samba guru?
I have been trying for the last few weeks to set up my network but don't see to be getting anywhere. This is what I'd like: I can get Internet on the server but cant work out how to bridge the connection and setup a dhcp server out of eth1. I have installed dhcp3-server and bridge-utils but can't seem to configure them right. The modem uses IP 10.0.0.1 and gateway 10.0.0.138 I'd like to leave the modem settings alone if possible. I don't care what the network IP addresses are but I thought it might be easier to see the difference if they were 192.168.0.0
I am using 10.10 64bit desktop edition for the server/desktop. The laptop has Ubuntu 10.10 and win7 duel boot (Not really worried about getting windows working) HTPC is XBMC Freak on an Asrock ion 330. The desktop is broken at the moment. (ram packed it in) will be running a version of ubuntu at some stage (need funds for more ram). I know there are lots of tutorials out there I just can't find one that explains what I wont to do in easy to understand terms and is up-to-date.
I have a Samba File Server that can authenticate users in my Windows AD to log into the server. Anyways, I have a good amount of Windows Admins on staff but our org wants to cut budget so our first "slash" as it were is cutting down the actual Windows based File Servers.So my question is, now that I have this test server up and authenticating for logins using Windbind....is there a way I can get system-config-samba to "see" winbind users and groups so that file servers can still be "point and click" for my Windows Admins?
We have an existing Windows 2000 network that I am trying to add an Ubuntu 8.04 server to. I have put links into the windows domain DFS to the linux machine's samba shares.
The shares work fine for local users that are physically on the same network (192.168.0.X). Remote users from other offices or dialing in with a vpn client can not access the these particular folders off the DFS. However, they can map them directly from the ubuntu server.
i have a Domain Cotroller installed on Windows & DHCP Server installed on Ubuntu. i want to give access only authenticated Users(Active Directory Users) can get IP from DHCP. No one else canis there any option available here in DHCP ???
I have a home network, with an OpenWrt router operating successfully as DHCP server (using DNSMasq). I'm planning to install LinuxMCE on my main fileserver and in order for this to properly detect devices around the home it requires that it is the DHCP server. That would be fine except that I sometimes power down the fileserver (eg. when my in-laws sleep in the spare room where the server lives) and that would leave me with no DHCP which creates problems (when my in-laws want to get their laptop connected to the internet).
One answer is to get new in-laws which would be OK except that I'm still pretty keen on my wife. Alternatively is there any way to set up a fallback DHCP server ie. the router would check if there's a functioning DHCP server on the network (ie. the fileserver) and if it gets no response it will serve DHCP addresses itself.
If I want to add Windows & Mac users as Samba users, must I first add them all as Ubuntu users? If so, since none of the other users will actually be working on the Ubuntu Server, how do I disable the other non-admin users on the Ubuntu Server login screen. I am using Webmin to administer some server settings, and command line for others.
For changing the the mac address of my lan card( eth0) in linux fedora 9(solphur) i used this command
And i could change my mac address successfully but now i couldn't connect to my network via a dhcp server ( in configuration section of my router im going to check my new mac address (because i want to spoof) ,how i can do that?
if i try to connect to my samba server ( share ) from my windows xp ( or vista, i've tried both ) it says, that the network share cannot be found. i've installed all necessary rpms on my fedora 10, necessary for running a samba server:
after that, i've configured the smb.conf file, as follows:
Quote:
[root@*********** samba]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] # ----------------------- Netwrok Related Options ------------------------- workgroup = GROUP
[code]....
there is no iptables definition, or any other firewall installed, neither on the server nor the client. i've read through alot of howtos an manuals, but was not able to find the problem.
I'm trying to set up a VPN connection between our CentOS 5.3 server at work and my bosses XP computer at home. At this point, we are kinda locked into Quickbooks. I'm testing the connection from my XP boot at home to see if it works. I can log into our servicemanuals easily enough from XP at home however, the windows takes forever to update. I have the Samba server only listening on port 445 because is seems to work more efficiently at work. I connect to the Samba shares via linux from home and everything works well but, when I try to do anything with the shares from Windows client at home, it's very slow!
I'm thinking that it must have something either to do with the Windows OpenVPN client or the client.conf file. Is there anything I should look at in the .conf file for answers?
I'm running Lucid and and trying to get Samba set up to allow sharing files on my network. My problem is that my Windows laptop (Win7) can't see the Linux PC when I click on Network. It only shows my own laptop and my roommate's Vista laptop. However, if I manually connect to the computer (\serenity) it works just fine.
Right now I'm simply using the smb.conf that comes with the package and adding my share info.
I have a network with multiple subnets from 10.12.056.0 to 10.12.060.0 using net-mask 255.255.248.0 and one gateway 10.12.056.1. I want to setup a dhcp server and wonder how should I config it? All the hosts in the network using the same net-mask and gateway.
I had a server that I use for Radius DNS and Trying to put DHCP on it I have My pool in it seems right. I have 2 adresses aliased one being a helper IP that the router will send the request to. When I try to start the dhcp server I get the following.
Mar 31 14:33:11 rad2 dhcpd: No subnet declaration for eth0 (76.164.173.2). Mar 31 14:33:11 rad2 dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on eth0. If this is not what Mar 31 14:33:11 rad2 dhcpd: you want, please write a subnet declaration Mar 31 14:33:11 rad2 dhcpd: in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment Mar 31 14:33:11 rad2 dhcpd: to which interface eth0 is attached. **
i just installed zenwalk on another computer in my house (experimenting with zencafe as well) and i also installed the source code of samba directly from the website (i saw that the smbclient command wasn't there when i first installed zenwalk) i have a samba server that has ubuntu as its operating system and i would like to connect my zenwalk system to the shares so i can access them from that computer
i heard that smbclient is the way to go when you do something like this so i tried it a few times and nothing worked ps i am using webmin to configure samba on my ubuntu platform
I am trying to connect to my samba server with xubuntu, so far with no luck.
I am trying to use fusesmb and have been following these instructions:
[URL]
as well as these:
[URL]
and these
[URL]
the top ones say to use Applications - System - shared folders to setup smb client. Xubuntu maverick doesn't seem to have that menu point. So I copied the smb.conf from my desktop machine. libsmbclient is installed.
fuse as such seems to run since teh folder that i designated as mount point (~/Network) changes owner to root when i run fusesmb Network. But apart from that nothing happens.
I have a simple system at home where a DSL router is used as a basic dhcp server with one port forward for ssh to a server. I need to allow my daughters, ages 14,12 and 10, to access the net and also email but I want to have complete control and logging. What I'm looking to do is set up the Ubuntu file server I already have on the network to act as a gateway and also add content management and logging as step one.
I also want to add an email server so that all the email comes into the Ubuntu server and then is allowed to be accessed by outlook on their machines after spam/content scanning for valid emails as step two. My question is what, if any, additional software do I need and what options do I have. I've played with dhcp servers at work but never got much beyond ip assignment and network booting so I'm unfamiliar with what is needed for content management and such. As to the email server I've never even played with this at all so I'm completely in the dark as to what I should be looking at to start with. I'm looking for directions, RTFM is fine but right now I'm not sure even WHAT manual/manuals I should be reading.
Back in April I set up a Ubuntu DHCP server and a multiple VLAN network [URL] to migrate our various servers, workstations, etc off the 192.168.1.1 /24 network that everything was on because we where running out of address space. I built out the new network and everything worked great except our AD server would never get an IP address from the DHCP server (static reservation) and even if I set the IP statically on the AD server it couldn't ping the gateway and noone could log in. After several attempts to resolve this, including bringing in outside help, we where never able to figure out what the problem was.
Now 6 months later I have time to revisit the issue without effecting the live network. I used Acronis and imaged the AD server last Friday, cloned it on to another box with the same hardware, and put it up on the new network that's been sitting unused for the last 6 months. Today when I statically set the IP on the AD server (which is what I want) it connects and I can ping it's gateway 192.168.1.1 and all the way across vlans to a test sales agent workstation at 192.168.8.xxx on vlan 800 but only if I statically assign the agents station an IP address. When I try to get an IP address via DHCP it fails as destination unreachable. Nothing has changed in the last 6 months on the DHCP server but now it for some reason can't ping its default gateway 192.168.1.1. All of the config files are the same as they where left from the post linked above aside from the vlan id's used where changed from 1's to 100's (i.e. vlan 3 is now vlan 300) /etc/network/interfaces
Code:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto vlan100 iface vlan100 inet static
[code]....
why it can't reach the gateway, when I do a tcpdump I can see the DHCP requests come in on eth0 but the server never responds and I'm pretty sure its because it isn't "seeing" them since it thinks there isn't a network connection but I don't know how to trouble shoot to find out where the problem lies.
