Now I am a little bit lazy at the moment. So, can anybody give me some advice how to setup SAMBA with multiuser-Support on a WNR3500L with latest Shibby-Tomato?
Or, perhaps, is there any recipie somewhere ión the internet I would just have to reproduce?
Latest Shibby-tomato is meant for WNR3500Lv2 not for WNR3500L. I would advise to ensure your router model before flashing Shibby's Toamto.
You can consult with the following article to identify your router model.
Hi Subhra,
I did flashing and there were no problemns. And I used the rigth version for my device, a 3500L!
I am very sure I am talking about WNR3500L and the latest Shibby-Tomato for it.
This is (as you can read here: http://www.myopenrouter.com/download/36767/Tomato-Firmware-by-Shibby-for... ) Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-085V K26 USB BT-VPN published March, 19th 2012.
The version for WNR3500v2 is 083 and from January, 26th. Thus, it is elder.
Thanks for yur hint!
So, WNR3500v2 seems not to be available here in Germany.
Sorry I wasn't aware of Shibby's firmware for WNR3500L. Thanks for the information.
Yes, you did flashed with right firmware.
I will also try this one in my WNR3500L.
i added new download (088) for WNR3500L and WNR3500Lv2 and waiting for acceptation.
About SAMBA with multiuser-Support. Tomato supports only one user auth. If you want multiuser you can rgant permission over IP. In custom configuration add share:
[share1]
path = /tmp/mnt/sda1/share1
writable = yes
force user = root
comment =
hosts allow = 192.168.1.2
where:
- share1 is a share name
- path is a path to shared directory
- hosts allow is ip address(es) of allowed user(s).
or you can use FTP server and there you can define few users with the same or different directories.
Thanks, for the two hints.
We will be patient or have a look at http://tomato.groov.pl
It should be 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-088V K26 USB BT-VPN for the older WNR3500L, isn't it?
Multiuser-Filesharing FTP and SAMBA:
OK, somewehre ther must be an old USB-Stick... I will see, how Tomato works with FTP. OK, I know, it will be fine and perhaps somewhat faster (at least a litle bit, no wonders with the hardware, it's just a router...) than SAMBA. But I do not know about the integration in my guest systems. FTP was ugly in the past.
P.S.: Can you already buy WNR3500v2 at Poland?
"It should be 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-088V K26 USB BT-VPN for the older WNR3500L, isn't it?"
indeed
"Can you already buy WNR3500v2 at Poland?"
3500v2 or maybe 3500Lv2?? those are different router. I have 35600Lv2 (more powerful than 3500L). I believe 3500v2 hasn`t USB port.
My one is an old one, Chipset Broadcom BCM4716 chip rev 1 pkg 10, 8 MB Flash, 64 MB RAM.
The new one, announced here in myopnenrouter.com (wit 128 MB Flash and 128 MB RAM however it is called, 3500Lv2, I think), is not yet listed anywhere in Germany. Maybe, it is deliverd without any commenet or change in techspecs.
If I deliberate seriously, I noticed always noticed some strange hardware bugs with the LCDs... If I should consider to send it back to Netgear for exchange...;-)
I added Samba users/passwords (passwd, smbpasswd), configured shares and verified that all is in place after reboot.
I set Authentication "not required" on the Tomato Samba page.
When connecting from Win 7 on the same LAN I can see list of shares. However, no matter how I try user/password, it keeps saying that I have no access to open those shares. Is it a limitation of Samba port on Shibby mentioned by "shibby" ;-)? Do I have to do something with access mask for those folders/files?
Is there any workaround except "hosts allow = 192.168.1.2"? I use DHCP in my LAN so I cannot know for sure IP-user association.
Is it possible to assign a reserved IP to a client during login into OpenVPN? Could it be a workaround?
Your help will be appreciated!
