Hello Grogster!
the issue you describe is very old but I never took the time to really look into it, as I'm using NFS which is faster and I don't have any Windows clients.
So here are two links which offer an answer: Mint forum1 and 2
I downloaded puppy (very interesting..) and installed it in a VM under virtualbox and bridged the network, so my client and the puppy box are one the same /24 network.
on the puppy server side I had to modify the default /etc/samba/smb.conf:
and on the client side:
[global]
## Browsing/Identification ###
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
workgroup = WORKGROUP
client min protocol = NT1
#client lanman auth = yes
#client ntlmv2 auth = no
server min protocol = NT1
#ntlm auth = Yes
## Browsing/Identification ###
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
workgroup = WORKGROUP
client min protocol = NT1
#client lanman auth = yes
#client ntlmv2 auth = no
server min protocol = NT1
#ntlm auth = Yes
Now it's possible to:
smbtree -S puppypc30324.lan -U Workgroup/root
Password for [WORKGROUP\root]:
WORKGROUP
\\INTEL-DESKTOP Intel-Desktop server (Samba, Ubuntu)
\\PUPPYPC30324 Puppy Samba Server
Password for [WORKGROUP\root]:
WORKGROUP
\\INTEL-DESKTOP Intel-Desktop server (Samba, Ubuntu)
\\PUPPYPC30324 Puppy Samba Server
and to see them in Nautilus,Nemo or Thunar:
If you can't remember the samba root password, you can use:
smbpasswd
in a LX shell in puppy.I hope you didn't give up yet!
Best wishes
If you only want to map a share to your MX, it might be sufficient to use Thunar and enter the share path by hand:
smb://puppypc30324/puppyshare/
