I have no idea what you are willing to ask, but samba can just be enabled in webinterface

[Twisterchen]

Yes i have enable Samba on Webinterface but what is it exactly or what can i doo with it.

when i have a usb stick or External Harddisk can i connect du the Harddisk with samba on it

or What can i do with Samba

Twisterchen

[Antiloop]

you can access it like shares
for example
e.g. enter \\192.168.1.1\share$\
to access your usbhd/stick

[Twisterchen]

Hi

how i can release a listing on USB Device?

must it i do with telnet on Asus router or must i do on another Computer ?

What Partition i have must Fat32 or NTFS?

Twisterchen :confused:

[Blackfire]

Is this only ntfs that will work and do u have to make 1 or 2 partitions on the disk ?

Samba will work slowly on this wl500g with his USB 1.0 ?!!?

[Blackfire]

What am i doing wrong ??

Enable Samba Demo mode? YES
Enable hidden read-write share? YES
Workgroup name: Home

these are my setting bud it not possible to see the drive "\\192.168.1.1\share$\"

With telnet its possible to see harddisk with data on it :confused:

[Oleg]

Have you specified LAN hostname?

[Blackfire]

U mean => LAN IP Setting => Host Name: wl500g ?

[Oleg]

yes.
if it does not work, then telnet to wl500g and type this


cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/smb.conf
cat /var/log/smb

[Blackfire]

Thanks Oleg, i see the problem now.
[global]
workgroup = Home
guest account = nobody
security = share
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
log level = 1
max log size = 100
encrypt passwords = no
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes

[share]
path = /tmp/harddisk

[share$]
path = /tmp/harddisk
writable = yes
force user = Blackfire
browseable = no


Will search now how to edit the file ;)
VI or something else.

[Twisterchen]

OK
What must i do to
must i connect with telnet and then configure or what must i do
configure /etc/smb.conf with hand or can i configure with a webinterface

Thanks for Help

[Oleg]

Thanks Oleg, i see the problem now.

Really? What do you see exactly? Everything looks fine to me and it should work fine.
You have not posted hosts and /var/log/smb files.
Also, I would like to see /etc/passwd, there should be Blackfire entry.

[Blackfire]

Correct Oleg, i tought i see a fault on Browsable = No "change to Yes" bud that doesn't change a thing :rolleyes: still not working.

[Blackfire@telenetPC root]$ cat /etc/passwd
Blackfire:$1$$Rxh1MgE5IcGAXtc0YkIJz.:0:0:root:/usr/local/root:/bin/sh
nobody:x:99:99:nobody:/:/sbin/nologin

[Blackfire@telenetPC root]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1 wl500g my.router my.WL500g

[Blackfire@telenetPC root]$ cat /var/log/smb
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host telenetPC.
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host telenetPC.
No interface found for address 164.132.200.42
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host. telenetPC

[Oleg]

Where is "telenetPC" is specified?

[Blackfire]

Special Requirement from ISP => Host Name "blank" i renamed to "wl500g"
My ISP puts a name in it when its blank i gues.

Works great now thanks alot Oleg

[Twisterchen]

you can access it like shares
for example
e.g. enter \\192.168.1.1\share$\
to access your usbhd/stick

Hi
ok when i do this enter \\192.168.100.50\share$\
then come nothing but i think i must configure my smb.conf but how i can
with windows Telnet or what

Thanks for Help

Twisterchen

PS:
I forgut one question
how i can gange the name of router not my.router in ??????

[Oleg]

to access share$ you need to enable "hidden share", otherwise you need to access \\192.168.1.1\share

As for hostname - you need to specify it for samba to work - this is on the IP Config Page | LAN IP Settings | Host Name

[Oleg]

Hi
ok when i do this enter \\192.168.100.50\share$\

What is 192.168.100.50? Is it LAN ip address of your wl500g? Does it work in Home Gateway mode?

[Twisterchen]

What is 192.168.100.50? Is it LAN ip address of your wl500g? Does it work in Home Gateway mode?

my router does work it in AP mode and 192.168.100.50 is the adress from my WL500g router


\\192.168.100.50\share it come the same nothing

but i say again I must configure not first my smb.conf but how


Thanks for Help

Twisterchen

[Twisterchen]

command back after I the host names of rout had changed could I connecten only as can I my smb.conf configure now

it gives perhaps which like Webmin (http://www.webmin.com) over samba to configure




Thanks

Useful (or not so useful) hint for those of you who are experiencing problems accessing the share using Samba to save hours of frustrating configuring. Check that your software firewall (e.g. Zone Alarm) allows access to the share on the router, if not add the IP to the list of trusted IP addresses. I spent a good couple of hours wondering why I could see the share but was not allowed to access it.

[Twisterchen]

No idea any one

Gives no Tool to Configure a smb.conf
and how i can upload to my router ?


Thanks
Twisterchen

[Oleg]

Most likely it will not work in the AP mode.
Could you please telnet to it and type


cat /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/smb.conf

Post results here.

[Twisterchen]

cat /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
cat /etc/hosts
cat /etc/smb.conf



[twister@Twisterchen root]$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
Twisterchen
[twister@Twisterchen root]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.100.50 Twisterchen my.router my.WL500g
[twister@Twisterchen root]$ cat /etc/smb.conf
cat: /etc/smb.conf: No such file or directory
[twister@Twisterchen root]$

thats come!

What is the differnets between AP and HomeGateWay


Thanks
Twisterchen

[Twisterchen]

Sorry my mistace my router not in AP mode he is in Home Gateway not AP


Twisterchen

[Oleg]

Please execute


mount
nvram get usb_smbenable_x


Also


nvram get lan_hostname

[Twisterchen]

[twister@Twisterchen root]$ mount
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
[twister@Twisterchen root]$ nvram get usb_smbenable_x
1
[twister@Twisterchen root]$

Thats the Answer

and what must i do now

Thanks Twisterchen :)

[Oleg]

You need plug usb drive or flash to the wl500g. That's all...

[Twisterchen]

yes i can connect to \\192.168.100.50\share

but how i can configure smb.conf change Useres and Passworts ........


Thanks Twisterchen

[Oleg]

Sorry, I spent TOO many time, figuring WHY it does not work for you and the reason was that you've just not plugged USB drive! I've no time to play your games.
This is unacceptable, I'm do not want to help you anymore.

[Technik]

yes i can connect to \\192.168.100.50\share

anyway this board is not about configuring linux and stuff only

and thus I refer you to http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/ for documentation about Samba software and configuration

hereby I close this topic for obvious reasons
