Couldn't display "smb:///'

[zeussama]

I just install a fresh Fedora on a new machine. I have problem with Samba. Here's the error with nautilus.

Couldn't display "smb:///' because Nautilus cannot contact the SMB master browser.
Check that an SMB server running in the local network.

I have the smb server running (smbd & nmbd).

I check the logs, everything is started, no errors.

Could some one tell me how to fix this?

Thanks

[zeussama]

Yes . I search with nautilus. I couldn't display SMB:/// path

I ping my computer from another Windows, its recognize. That's mean i have a working network right?

[Grimmier]

[zeussama]

OK i will try that latter. How about the errors? how to fix it without having to install another application?

[zeussama]

I have installed smb4k, it fails. Stiill have error SMB.

Hi zeussama,

Can you verify network connectivity is present? Without connectivity to a network, you won't get far.

Hi zeussama,

Ok, ditch nautilus. Can you try, in a terminal window, smbclient //windows_hostname/ -L? If you get prompted for a password or see a list of available shares, you know smb is working correctly.

(Hint: If that doesn't work, try replacing the machine name with an IP)

Hrm do you have winbind running?
also try turning on LISa if it isn't already and running through the guided LISa setup wizard on your local network browsing configure tool.

I had to do all of the above earlier after i installed the FC 2 beta cd's

[scorpion]

have you tried:
open the /home directory from the shortcut on the desktop and type in the
address bar, smb:/// ?

like smb:///pc name/ ?

or see if it's started and working.
redhat-->system tools-->server settings-->services
type in your root pw.
look in there see if your samba is working.

you can start stop restart it from there

or open a console and type
services samba start
or
services samba stop
or
services samba restart

i's an idea it mite work or it mite not

you can start stop restart services in the redhat--> way
or by command line in console.

I'm getting the same error and I haven't been able to magically fix it like zeussama did....

[zeussama]

Spunky, try to install Gnomba (Gnome Samba Browser). It's a GTK 1 app. It's working for me. :)

Gnomba enable to mount the samba share directory to a spesifik area.

I will be looking for more to fix winbind.
