Samba Error

Post by bhola_singh »

Running Linux Mint Tara, I can access the windows share from my other windows and mac shares but in nemo when I try to browse network nothing happens. It seems my smbclient was missing so I installed it from the terminal and now this is what I see. What am I missing?

The curios thing is the server that I am trying to connect to is not called "WORKGROUP", so why is it asking for WORKGROUP\user password?
The list of shares it pulled up seem correct though.

How do I access shares with nemo?

Code: Select all


smbclient -L 10.0.0.38
WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
Enter WORKGROUP\bhola's password:

And what happens when you edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the following line below workgroup = WORKGROUP:

Code: Select all

client max protocol = NT1
And reboot your Mint box.

When you try to browse in Nemo does it show your other machines?
