Problem to login to domestic network

English Network/Internet
#1

Hi users of the OpenSUSE forum,

This is my first use of this forum.

There is my problem:
I can not go further than this password box.

http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss60/alphardhya/Help/NetworkHelp.jpg

FAMILLIA is the name of the computer on Windows7
LASTHYDRA is the name of the computer on OpenSUSE 11.3 with GNOME the one I’m using right now and on the picture.
WORGROUP is the domaine
Brian is one of the user under FAMILLIA computer (on Windows7)

I’ve configured Samba as my best and now I can see the other computer on my Domestic Network
But I can not connect to the computer FAMILLIA that run on Win7. I try to use username and password that a use to start session on my Win7 but nothing works.
Also if I try to connect to my computer (LASTHYDRA) they ask me the same password box and no one of my password works (I use the password ans user name I use to use when I’m login on my computer LASTHYDRA )
And same thing from FAMILLIA on Win7, not able to connect to shared file on LASTHYDRA, ask username and password but always send me error signal.

**Maybe I need to create other user name and password just for the network???
If it’s the case where I go to complete these steps???
**
Thanks a lot, it’s my first steps in the Network world.

AlphardHya;

I suggest you look over these two HowTos:

http://opensuse.swerdna.org/suselanprimer.html

and

http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susesambawin7.html

Make sure that Samba Server, Samba client and Netbios Server are all allowed
services through the firewall. Make sure that nmb and smb are set to run at
boot. Finally, make sure you have created Samba users with:


su -
smbpasswd -a <username>
exit

The username must be a valid Linux user.

Also double check that the Windows firewall you use allows file and print
sharing.

If you are still having difficulty, please post the contents
of /etc/samba/smb.conf.

This advice:

Finally, make sure you have created Samba users…
is to create a Samba user on lasthydra, so that your login can be processed there.

[or indeed on any Linux computer where secure shares are created.]

There was (is) a problem with AppArmor and Samba with either version 11.3 or
11.4. You might try disabling AppArmor while your testing. Forgive my old
grey head for not remembering the exact version.

Hi Guy,

Thanks a lot for your very quick answers! I wasn’t expected that fast.
It gives me what I need to continue my research and try on the subject. I will post again if needed.
Seem to be a lot of usefull info on openSUSE SuSE Linux HOWTOs and Tutorials by Swerdna

Thanks!

Hi venzkep,

“smbpasswd -a <username>” was the good answer to my issue.
Now I have full access to my Linux computer from the Win7 one.
Now I just need to set a password for a user in Win7

Thanks,:slight_smile:
