I have some roblems using samba and "googled through the net for some times.
I installed samba using the luci interface from the kamikaze 8.09_1 distribution.,
I did the configuration using the LucI interface.
The following happens:
On window the shares are NOT shown in the explorer but I can connect using the full pathname to the share
On linux (ubuntu 9.04 Desktop) it is the same
nmblookup does not show anything.
Note: I installed a samba server on the ubuntu machine
This server could not be seen using nmblookup
Then I had to open up tcp/139 in the firewall. //hint from the internet
Now findsmb show the local ubuntu samba server
*=DMB
+=LMB
IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION
---------------------------------------------------------------------
<ubuntu_server_ip> <ubuntu_server_name>+[WORKGROUP] [Unix] [Samba 3.3.2]
and nmblookup shows
<ubuntu_server_name>:/$ nmblookup <ubuntu_server_name>
querying <ubuntu_server_name> on 172.16.172.255
172.16.172.1 <ubuntu_server_name>
I opened up the firewall on openwrt using LucI
config 'rule'
option 'target' 'ACCEPT'
option '_name' 'netbios-ssn'
option 'src' 'lan'
option 'proto' 'tcp'
option 'dest_port' '139'
But still the server on openwrt cannot be seen.
output of nmblookup
unbuntu:/$ nmblookup <openwrt_server>
querying <openwrt_server> on 172.16.172.255 // local samba server<ubuntu_server_name> is on this network
querying <openwrt_server> on 192.168.73.255 // <openwrt_server> should be here
querying <openwrt_server> on 192.168.190.255 // vmware network
name_query failed to find name <openwrt_server>
Any hints?
