Ubuntu Networking :: Ftp Verus Samba / Small Mediaserver
May 31, 2010
-I've got xubuntu 10.04 installed on an old laptop (Toshiba Tecra A4).
-On a little NAS i've got my video-files.
-Using wifi i can go to the smb-share on the NAS to open a video-file on my laptop. (kinda slow/laggy)
-I can also use the ftp-server build into the NAS and mount that on /media/ftp (using curlftpFS on the laptop)
According to what i have read about ftp/smb, FTP is faster! (haven't tested yet)The NAS has got a mt-daapd and twonky but i don't think i can find those in VLC or TOTEM... (? wonder if that would make things faster)

Samba seems to crash and come back after some seconds if I copy a lot of small files in a short period of time over the network. How do I fix it?
I have Ubuntu 9.10 Server 64bit running on a D945GCLF2 board sharing two 1TB ext4 formatted HDDs to my Windows PCs using samba. I've been having an issue with reading or writing files through samba. It happens during copying operations or checksumming, anything that reads or writes MANY small files in a small amount of time. I am pretty sure the problem has to do with my server because the server has run on two different LANs in different homes and will crash from activity with any of several other PCs. There is no crashing if I access the files through SSH, although when I do that the max transfer speed is less than 1MB/s.
When I induce the crashing, there is absolutely no output to the server terminal.
As an easy access example of something that will crash samba, extracting Cinebench R11.5 to the server will do the job. It always fails.

I was having no problems (that I knew of) browsing the web since installing Ubuntu 10.10 a week or so ago. I was previously trialling Win7 as my customers will likely be using that in the future. Then I wanted to go to internode.on.net. Got the following: Quote: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at internode.on.net. or Quote: Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to internode.on.net
As it was just after Christmas I thought it must be down, for upgrades or maintenance etc. I later tried to go to Freebsd.org; same error. I've been having a small number of other websites give the same error. I thought nothing of this until I tried it on my wife's macpro. I could log onto all the websites I wanted to and none gave any indication of having been down. Both boxes are on the same adsl connection. I still can't access internode or freebsd on 10.10 yet have been able to access every website on OSX. Now, I was only looking at them for info but am worried I won't be able to access something important. (so far everything I 'need' is working)
ping just drops out. edit: weirdest thing! I just retried and now can not emulate the problem for internode. freebsd still won't show. that is less than five minutes between problems and resolution! I hadn't even posted! But I still would like to have an idea of what is going on. Here is the ping error for freebsd: Quote:

I have update my linux server from mandriva 9 to mandriva 2010
I was working using samba 2.2.8 and now I have samba 3.5.3.I have transfer all passwd and smbpasswd to new linux.I have convert smbpasswd to tdbsam
when i am using win xp to logon on samba domain the windows XP does not load profiles from samba. I think that the problem is NTUSER.DAT storing in /home/user/profile
The same profile is working using samba 2.2.8 but not working in samba 3.5.3..

I want to use samba for file sharing like on a Windows home network. Actually they are all Linux machines but nfs is too complicated. On my host machine I installed samba and system-config-samba. I created a new share for /home, check marked writable and visible and put access to everybody. For preferences-->server settings--> security the "authentication mode" is set to user, encrypt passwords is no, and guest account is no guest account. Under preferences-->samba users I added myself as a user with the same windows user name as my Linux user name and the same password.
My client is a virtualbox fedora (used for testing purposes but actual clients will be real computers on my home network). I entered the address smb://192.168.1.184. When asked for the user name and password I put my regular user name and password since that was what I set in samba users. However, the password dialog keeps coming up and won't let met into my own computer. If I quit it says something like access is denied. How can I get my home network back? I liked this feature when my home computers ran XP but I switched them to Fedora 12.

What I want to do is have two different networks connected with my switch. I want one computer to be the server and run dhcp with the ip address 10.3.2.1 and I want the other client machine to be 10.1.X.X. I want the X.X to be assigned automatically from DHCP running on the server. The subnet mask I believe should 255.255.255.0 for both networks. How can I get these two different networks to talk to each other when they are on completely different networks??

i am trying to use a small application called toonel. its in jar format and it helps to compress traffic. i can run it succesfully but i cant seem to be able to get my applications e.g firefox to communicate with it!
normally in windows i just start the app, then set my browser proxy to 127.0.0.1:8080 which is where it listens for connections but so far in ubuntu i cant seem to be able to get it to work.

Start>Run>\192.168.0.1storage gives me "The specified network password is not correct." It lists my domain as "ANTEC" which is the name of my computer, though I've changed the workgroup to WELLS. I've run:
setsebool -P samba_domain_controller on
Trying to connect to samba locally gives me this:

I'd like to know if anybody knows if is there a any small hardware board (I think non i386 architecture, maybe mips or arm) board suitable for using for linux routing systems (routing features + iptables).For example an small board with at least two ethernet interfaces capable to run an update version of Linux.May be something similar to microtik routerboards, but to run Linux within.

I need to make a wirelss Hot Spot at our small hotel in Italy. I am already doing it, however I have no way of logging my customers. As per the new laws here in Italy, I must secure my wi-fi and keep a log/database of all that enter. I have found some units that will cost me about a 1000euro to purchase, but I am providing this to my customers for free, so if I can do this by using one of my extra/old computers running linux, that would be ideal.
I did a general search for these terms: "wireless access point hot spot firewall" but there were zero results, which I thought was strange.

So I just changed my network card settings recently, and I'm now getting no response when I ping the broadcast address for them... the cards are all connected through a switch with IP addresses 192.168.0.x, broadcast 192.168.0.255... ifconfig on all of them shows UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST, but nobody responds to a broadcast packet. Any thoughts?
EDIT: Pinging each machine individually works fine.

I want to create a small network of 3-5 computers. I want to have one computer as my server and have services like NFS, DHCP, NTP, etc. I want to connect it to 2-4 other clients that have the bare minimal installation of linux on them. I would like 1 client computer to have a static ip address and I would like another to receive a dynamic ip address from the server. How would I go about doing all of this without the assistance of GUI's? I want to be able to do all this with the ks.cfg and network config files.

I want to connect my linux laptop (Mandriva 2008.1 x86_64) to my windows small business server. My issue is that I am not sure what I can and can't do in terms of any windows config changes. Can linux (I assume using Samba) connect normally?

I have been using Trixbox CE for a couple of years and a client has asked me to setup a VOIP system with two phones and a couple of extensions. When he gets hit with a borage of phone calls I need to have the call that are behind the others to go the the next extension. I need redundancy if one Internet connection goes down and have the another kick in or failover. How does one configure Trixbox to failover to the other Internet connection and can someone give me a list of carriers in the Washington D.C area. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have a small office network (about 30 machine) with linux gateway (6Mbps internet bandwidth). Every user get only 500Kbps bandwidth, and they use the internet very poor. The internet getting slow lately, and I noticed that there are huge amount of small packets (78 byte, 48 byte) coming to linux machines. My question is: How can I solve which machine(s) sending those small packets? Do you have any ideas with netstat command?

Ive managed to install samba, I've shared a folder. I can access from a Windows 7 machine via \ubuntupublic. I can put files in the folder form the ubuntu machine and edit them on the windows box. I can put files in the folder/share from the Windows box but then I cannot edit them on the Ubuntu machine (they are read only and have a "Lock" over them). I can fix this by going to the properties of the file/folder in Windows and manually assigning "Everybody" full control (then the lock disappears and all is well.) I want read/write access to all the folders contents from both machines all the time (security is NOT a concern I WANT the permissions wide open) what am I doing wrong?

$ sudo apt-get purge samba
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo apt-get install samba

I have a small home network. Computers A and B are both running Kubuntu Lucid. Computer A has an external USB hard drive attached, partitioned ext3 and mounted to a folder in computer A's home folder. Computer C is running Vista. I installed Samba, and computer C can access all the files on both computers A and B. But using Samba, computers A and B can't see each other OR computer C. That's not really important to me, but they can't
So I installed NFS and got computers A and B talking that way. I like NFS better. It's faster than Samba. BUT, computer B can't access computer A's USB drive, and I need it to do that. When I'm using computer B and I click on the folder the drive is mounted to, the file manager just shows the folder as empty.

I installed 9.04 last fall on my computer (switching from Win XP). I wanted to make sure that it would work for the 2-PC LAN I share with my wife, so I left XP on her machine and set up samba. It worked adequately until I switched her over to 9.04 a few months ago, and I tinkered with it and also tried to install nfs, but without any luck.
Recently I decided to try again, so I started with nfs (as recommended for Ubuntu-only networks and spent several days trying to get it going, with no luck. The last few days I've been trying to get samba going, again with no luck. (I've spent hours and hours on sites offering help with nfs and samba, googling them and searching this forum, trying different tweaks to smb.conf, etc. I've made some progress -- and learned a lot about linux, but....)
So, I am convinced that if I can clean out everything samba (and maybe nfs?), and start over, I just might be able to get back to some productive work.I've been learning a bit about using the terminal, but it would be very helpful to know the exact commands to use (I had to google "foo" today to understand what a site was trying to convey with a sample command.)

I've been trying to set up a media server using Ubuntu server, following the instructions from [URL]. I am trying to access the server from a windows 7 pro laptop. I can see my media server on the network. I can see the folder vol1 which I want to access, but when I double click on it, I am given an error message saying it is not accessible and I don't have permission to access it. I can access the server using webmin, and I can access its terminal with putty. I just don't know what settings to tweak.

server string = %h server (Samba %v)

Though others could easily access my shares in a passwordless way, I am being aksed for password when I try to access their shares. They are running windows machines. I could easily access their shres without password from my windows setup.

I have a problem connecting my OS X and Windows XP machines to an external drive that is attached via USB to my Ubuntu 10 server. I am running Samba and I believe that my config file (shown below) is appropriate.
Both the Mac and XP machines can see the server and can access a shared folder on the hard drive of the server machine. Both the Mac and XP machines can see the external drive listed in Finder (Mac) and Network (XP). However, when either machine attempts to access the contents of the drive, I get the following error messages:
Windows XP Machine [NAME OF EXTERNAL DRIVE] is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

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 am running Jaunty 9.0.4. I used system-config-samba (gui) to configure Samba. I put myself as a user and tried to map the drive from my local PC. I am unable to map the drive. On windows, I try to connect using a different user and when I select finish, it prompts me again and adds my workgroup before my user name.

I'm having problems in accessing a storage device (NAS 200 Linksys) in a network via Ubuntu. I think the problem is with the configuration of Samba.
On my computer the login and password are the same in Ubuntu (9.04), samba and Win XP.
Under windows I view the device in the network and, when I click on its icon, a window opens with the directories that have access.
Under Ubuntu, I can see all the computers in my workgroup and the device. However when I click on its icon only a blank window is opened.
I share printers without problems.
In my settings for the samba security = user.
Does anyone know if there is any configuration that allows access to the NAS?
