Bekijk de volledige versie : Samba access from a XP domain PC
HI,
I'm having trouble accessing samba share (firmware included or Samba2) from a XP Domain PC.
When accessing shared folders I get a logon windows with:
user: name_of asus\guest - not editable
pass:
I know it is a security aspect regarding a domain PC, and I can't change anything regarding that, but is there a way to make some changes in the samba config in order to resolve this issue?
Thank you in advance.
are you sure you made guest allow in samba 2?
btw... what is a windows domain?
you mean just a normal windows xp installation right?
HI,
I'm having trouble accessing samba share (firmware included or Samba2) from a XP Domain PC.
I think anonymous access to samba is only working if all pc's are in the same workgroup / domain. So that's no option.
The way I use it, i have anonymous access to samba disabled.
Then when I connect with my corporate laptop (which is joined to a domain), I get prompted for a username and password.
You can also create an extra user on your router, with the same username/password you use on your laptop. This way it should connect to the share without prompting for a username/password.

Can you help me with a step by step guide, assuming I have the default settings on Samba 2.
Tryed to make the config but I had no luck, now, on my XP domain PC nothing changed, but on my VISTA PC I get a logon window with name and pass, but can't get acces :(
On my first setup I used the default firmware on my Wl 500 gp V2, and I was able to access from my XP domain PC shared samba shared folders from the attached HDD, so is just a mather of samba config ... and I must admit is something about I have almost no knowledge.
Thank you

Hi
I have guest allow in samba 2, but ... still nothing.
My laptop, which I use at my work, is a member of a domain, you can set this under System - Computer name, This is tye way of accesing servers, files, etc, on my company network.
there is no solution for this?
Check your samba config, I had similar issue and all I had to do was re-do the samba config again. Whose tutorial did you follow and if possible post your samba config.

I see you are using samba with share-security. This is known to cause difficulties with some versions of windows.
I would change security = SHARE into security = USER
Next you need to specify the path to smbpasswd and enable encrypted passwords:
encrypt passwords = Yes
smb passwd file = /opt/etc/samba/smbpasswd
You can use smbpasswd to set the samba password for your users
