Hi

i am using the WL500gx with Firmware 1.9.2.7-4 and on my PC with XP it works all fine.But i can't connect to the Router over SMB because i don't know with User and PW the Tiger wants.

My samba.conf :

[global]
workgroup = xxx
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 = admin
browseable = no

Perhaps someone can help me ?

This samba version is not compatible with mac cifs client. Use NFS instead.

Hello

i tried to setup the NFS Server on the Asus, but i really don't know how ?
I searched the forum for a little How-To for setting up the NFS but find nothing. Can someone help me ?

It is really working nice with Win XP but no chance to run with OS X, only ftp works.

I have found a solution here:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050506120948120

it says:

Tiger now assumes that your SMB server accepts encrypted passwords. Older Windows NT and Unix/Linux servers running Samba (versions older that 3.0) are configured to accept plain text passwords. It is highly recommended that the severs be reconfigured to accept encrypted passwords. However, below is a fix to tell Tiger to send a plain text password for authentication. This assumes you have a working knowledge of the Unix command line:

1. Open a Terminal session

2. Type cd /etc

3. Type sudo vi nsmb.conf -- do NOT edit the smb.conf file. You may not have this file, in which case the command will create it.

4. Add these lines to the file:

[default]
minauth=none

5. Save file (wq in vi) and quit the editor.

Be aware that with this change, Samba now sends plain text passwords, which can be easily captured (via tcpdump).

I will upgrade to tiger these days so I if it works you can tell me :-)

Rainer
