[SOLVED] Samba : Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED

[metro]

I tried to  Hijack this thread http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,86405.0.html but my reply would not save

I too was experiencing "Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED" and I happened to have an old copy of SMB.conf, so I saved the existing (problem) file and renamed the old copy back to  SMB.conf

This SMB.conf was causing the PROBLEM :

NEW Problem is I can see the shared folders on my PCLINUXOS machine from my Win XP and can transfer files to and from whilst at the XP machine
but From PCLinux I cannot see and shared resources on either machine when using Dolphin or SMB4k
CURRENT SMB.conf:

NOTE:
the use of smbtree with the first SMB.conf in place resulted in much the same message as wayne1932's message but it showed the wrong IP
the IP for my machine is 192.168.0.163 and it reported failed to connect to 192.168.0.32 (no other computer on the network uses that address)
with the current smb.conf in place smbtree gives no output after I press enter for password

any help appreciated

Laurie

PS I tried to quote the replacement SMB.conf but it must be too big and the server keeps resetting

Hi metro,
you'll need nss_wins installed if not already there

[metro]

Hi 7272andy
nss_wins is already installed unfortunately

I tried this
[laurie@localhost ~]$ smbtree -U administrator
Enter administrator's password:
Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client lanman auth' is disabled
failed tcon_X with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client lanman auth' is disabled
failed tcon_X with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[laurie@localhost ~]$ ^C
[laurie@localhost ~]$

 
not sure what that means

[7272andy]

The error message is a generic one unfortunately.

Editing /etc/nsswitch.conf and look for a line similar to this:

     hosts:mdns4_minimal files nis dns wins mdns4

and change it to read like this:

     hosts:mdns4_minimal files nis wins dns mdns4

Note that wins now comes before dns. As a first check for finding the windows share click on the PC button select Internet and SMB4K you should be able to see the server in the Network Neighborhood, clicking on the server name should show you the shares associated with it and allow you to mount them

Thanks 7272andy
modified as instructed, unfortunately nothing shows up in SMB4K even after a scan of network

It's a bit of a long read, but check out this thread:

Think I'm being a bit slow today  

You need to stop and restart the smb service, either reboot or start the PCC select System > Manage system services by enabling and disabling them scroll down to smb, stop and restart the service.

EDIT
Hi pags, that link of yours looks very promising

[metro]

Thanks guys sorted,
@pags thanks for the link...
@7272andy thanks for hangin in there

Seems this problem was self inflicted, Some weeks back I purchased a PogoPlug and set it up to boot Arch Linux from a USB stick
that process somehow enabled the PogoPlug as the Samba Server. So when I inadvertently pull the power on the PogoPlug......no Samba Server

Not realising the lack of power I went on to try and solve the problem

After lots of reading I found via GADMIN-Samba these settings in samba.conf
local master = no
domain master = no   
preferred master = no

I changed them all to yes and problem fixed

thanks for taking the time guys

regards

metro

[7272andy]

Heh, we all do it, glad you got it fixed 

You need to edit the subject line on your first post to read Solved, otherwise it doesn't show in the forum index listing.

Regards

[metro]

I'll try not make a habit of it 

thanks again
