samba:linux to win not working

[linuxtolinux]

hello,

i am facing a problem when trying to connect to my shared folder located on the win server from my linux server.(the reverse connection work properly and i can access the home directories of user x from my win server).
ns is te name of my win server: when i tried from my linux server to list the shared folder on user x on ns using 'smbclient -L ns -U x ' i received in the share name field the comment"error on browsing query list:WIN_NT_ACCESS_DINIED"

is the pb in the win side? or else?
thanks in advance

The problem is more likely on the windows server side.

check whether the user x is having permission in the windows server. user x should be a user which is existing in the windows system or in the domain controller(incase your windows connects to a domain controller). create user x in the windows and grant permissions for him to the directories you want to share.

Hi,

This is absolutely problem with Windows share. Verify the permissions and shared resource on the Windows side.

You do not had to enter an username and password to reach the Windows share?

With Linux to Windows NT based systems (Win2k,XP,NT,2003) its likely that you need an username and password to access the public shares. As far as i know.

Are you trying to only list the shares or do you want to modify files on the Windows share. If so you can use the 'smbmount' command instead.

I hoped it worked,

Roderik.

Hi,

Have you used mounting option is like below
Example:
mount -t smbfs -o username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test /data/test

or How are you accessing the Windows share?
