I've installed Samba2 on my WNR3500L running the latest DD-WRT version. After some struggle I was able to connect to it from the router itself using the command:
"smbclient -U root //wrouter/share"
Next I moved on to my Ubuntu desktop. I cannot see the share in "Network/Windows Network/Home/" so I tried the command above with no success. I then replaced the server name with its IP address:
"smbclient -U root //192.168.1.1/share"
This got me a little further. I received the error:
"Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client lanman auth' is disabled"
For which I found the solution is to add the following lines to /etc/samba/smb.conf
client lanman auth = Yes
lanman auth = Yes
After which I could successfully connect to the share. I edited my /etc/fstab file to automount the share at boot and this was successful as well.
So here is the 5 million dollar question......
Why can't I see the server/share in Nautalis. I also cannot see it from my Windows laptop or directly connect to it from a command line?
Thanks!
What does the share look like in your smb.conf?
I'm guessing it needs to have a line like this in order to show up
browseable = Yes
Also - from windows command line what do you get when you use
net view 192.168.1.1 (or your router's ip)
Its not that I cannot see the share...I cannot see the entire server for some reason.
Output of net view 192.168.1.1:
