 Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2008 10:40 pm Post subject: Connecting to Windows from Gentoo & vice versa [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I'm sure this is discussed elsewhere in these forums, but searching for it hasn't brought anything to the surface, so I apologize if this is redundant.
How do I open a shared folder in my Windows computer from my Gentoo computer? Everything is set up for sharing in the Windows folder and I'm able to map it as a network drive from another Windows computer. I just want to do the same thing in my Gentoo computer.

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_Samba
should be a starting point - basically look for samba documentation.

from what i understand you don't need to configure samba or anything (samba is only for hosting shares, or logging onto a windows domain controller)... just install it and use mount... and enable CIFS support in the kernel.

Mounting seemed to work fine for me before. |

If the name of the mounting user is usable to mounting shares from the remote machine and entering a password at a prompt is acceptable, mount -t cifs //192.168.1.100/Muzedox win should suffice.
Note that NTFS is a media based file system type whereas the files are being accessed via a network without the use of network block devices, in this case using CIFS. |

| Perhaps the appropriate code page, probably the output of dmesg | tail. |

Make sure you ave the sambe package installed.Then try | Code: | | smbmount //192.168.1.100/(dir) (mountpoint) -o user=window_username |
Then it will ask for your window_user password. |

| as stated above, it's not necessary to have samba installed as long you have net-fs/mount-cifs installed, cifs support and the appropiate codepage in your kernel. you can find it under file systems --> native language support in kernel configprog. |

I thought I'd post here instead of creating a new thread, since it's the same issue reversed.
I need to connect to my Gentoo box from a Windows machine. I have Samba installed and started (including winbind), and have tried some basic configurations of smb.conf. I can now get my windows machine to prompt me for a password when I map network drive to \\192.168.1.100\(username), but nothing happens. Every time I submit my username and password the password box pops right back up. I tried setting a share like [share1] path=(wherever) but that didn't help.
I also have SWAT set up and running, but I can't access it because this also asks for a username and password, and will accept neither root nor a regular user as valid credentials.
Stump the chump day! I didn't come running here without doing some reading, so I would appreciate any help.
