Hi folks, you may have already ran into this,
is there a way to make my samba client access a fat32 share on a laptop running Xp ?It works perfectly if I try to get to a share on a Win2000 server using ntfs, so what should I do, install some samba server on the laptop or what.
Thanks in advance
Max
I don't think Samba cares what file system is on the other computer as long as the computer is set up to share the resource using Microsoft Networking. (at least, that has been my experience)
Are you sure your laptop is set up properly? Can other computers on your network access the laptop's FAT32 partition?
What exactly is happening when you try to access the share on your laptop? How are you accessing it? Are you at a prompt, or using something like Konquerer browser?

what I get is "error connecting to... connection refused".
Actually I installed norton firewall,
but if I disable it I am able to
connect to the share from other windows machines.Not only, but trying the command
the second answerer supplied to list
the shares, I get the error on the port
139. Guessing it's the one samba uses
to connect I tried a portscan on my laptop
with disabled firewall and it returns
is closed, but if I try to connect to the
from a windows machine (even the same
one with vmware'd w2000) that works.how is that possible ?

Why so complicated?
All it needs is a mount. Somthing like this (assuming the laptop has the hostname "poorlaptop")If it runs W2K the password is the one for the corresponding user. If we have Win9x or WinME the password is the password of the share.
mkdir /mnt/laptop
mount //poorlaptop/sharedir -t smbfs /mnt/laptop
-o username=maximilian,password=maxesgirl
If everything works fine put it in /etc/fstab

Nothing to do, always connection refused.
I say, if I try from another machine with
same username password that works.even with the vmware on the same linux machine ! that kills me, Im going to set up
everything again.

Post up your smb.conf file. It is probably
something simple like the workgroup name or
the encrypted password setting.

Nothing to do. the funny side of it
is that if I smbclient -L a server
with a lot of shares, I got them listed,
while if I try to get the same from
the laptop, I get connection refused.Very very funny :)
misteries of norton firewall,
when it's disabled it still works :)thank you all.
