With my first qube3 it was running within 5 minutes, but with a new qube3 (the first one, crashed and burned the mainboard) I am not able to setup the simple SAMBA stuff again:
when using:
[root log]# smbclient -I 192.168.1.15 -L lilian
I am able to see the other system(s) but without the IP address it is not working.
I am not able to configure the ” linuxbackup ” as it gives error(s)
I think it has to do with hostname lookups through netbios cause I can access the linuxbox by entering \\192.168.1.100
but the hostname is not resolved (the windows clients did not alter their configurations.
Right now I noticed that I can use IP address for the share, but not the name.
So how can I resolv the local hostnames correctly?
This sounds like an lmhosts problem. So how to resolve this.
The easiest way to do this is add all the hosts in the /etc/hosts configuration (WINDIR\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on windhose). If you have a static network layout, this works just fine.
Otherwise, it’s a long and hard road to travel.
name resolving in windows is a bitch. if your sun isnt working as a wins server, please add the host in LMHOST (/etc/host will probably do as well but resolves a bit slower)
