Title: cannot see smb server on z ( Cacko rom)
Post by: murphytalk on August 30, 2004, 09:18:05 am

Hi everyone,

I have a 860 which runs  Cacko rom and a CF WLAN card works well,except one problem : although I can ping my z from PC,I cannot connect or see the samba server.

But it is ok if the USB cable is connected. I checked smb.conf, eth0(the wlan card) is in the interface list.

any hints?Thank you in advance.

I seem to recall qtamba gets started in preference to the default samba stuff when you plug in the USB cable (stops when you remove it).

I would become totally familiar with the scripts and start by securing your SAMBA configuration before getting it to work with any wireless network if I were you.

Try looking in log files in /var/smb - they may give you some clue on what's happening...

In Cacko ROMs samba is started on demand from inetd process.

I had problems with samba on OZ.  The problem was that I did not have some of the directories need for samba.  The following script solved the problem:

Quote

#!/bin/sh
if ! [ -d /var/cache/samba ]
   then
   mkdir /var/cache
   mkdir /var/cache/samba
fi
if ! [ -d /var/run/samba ]
   then
   mkdir /var/run
   mkdir /var/run/samba
fi
/etc/init.d/samba start

I can use samba over BT, i can't see why it can't be done on wireless lan
