Samba filesystem error message...

[LP]

Hmm...

smbfs gives me this message:
smbfs: ERRSRV - ERRinvnetname (Invalid network name in tree connect).
smbfs: Cannot connect to server (5, Input/output error).
smbfs: Could not connect to server (5, Input/output error).


Could anyone break this into understandable english?

What could be the problem?

[LP]

It's quite wierd this...

smbd is started
nmbd is started both with option -D

smbclient says the following:

and when using smbclient on my ami:

Both my Amiga and PC is connected to a hub and my ADSL is connected to the hub...
My ISP gives me 2 dynamic adresses, my internet works on both machines but communication within the 2 computers doesn't, so it's something in miami or samba that doesn't work...

The Windows can't reach the Amiga either...
I've run with this setup once before, but when my ISP gave me new adresses I thought I could just change them in my miami database to the new ones...

But no... Now I'm stuck once again in this network hell...
(No firewall are installed (this goes for both machines)).

Looking at the smbclient information nothing should be wrong...

But what is it then?

BTW, can I prevent this situation again in some way, so I don't have to change IP's in my database every time my ISP changes them?

-edit-
sorry but the text layout won't do as I say so it's a bit messy this...

[LP]

that explains a lot..

So how do I set a LAN IP in windows to it self and my amiga then?

BTW thanks for the answers it has cleared up a bunch of thing I didn't know...

-edit-
So in miami I make another interface for the same hardware and specify my own static IP?
I don't think miami is cabable of doing that as far as I remember...?

-edit-
Should I add a manual route instead?

[LP]

So my MAC adress for my amiga is:
00:50:FC:9B:0F:EA
Discribed as hardware address?

And for windows:
00:50:FC:9B:7E:CF
?

Another problem is that I don't have a router...
The package that came with the connection says "ADSL-modem" wich is maybe a standard user-friendly term for "router" but I have of how to access this thing by software?...

And thanks again...

-edit-
did I mention my setup:

Amiga ----> (hub) <------PC

(hub----->ADSL-modem---->ISP)

[LP]

Ok...

This was also the thing I did when I didn't have the ADSL involved. And it worked fine...
But the problem is that if I don't set it to DHCP it doesn't work? -I've tried just now...

Problem is that I think the IP given to me by the ISP is also my LAN IP... I know you said it wasn't...

But the problem is that I only got one place in miami to set an IP and that is In the interface/edit section?

Sorry for being blind here...

[LP]

The hub allows static IP's yes...

I gave my Amiga 192.168.2.1

then it asked for a netmask...

I gave it 255.255.255.0

then it said it couldn't find any dns servers...

so I sat priority to 0 (disabled it)

Then it went online, but no internet... :-?


If I in Windows set my IP to static it doesn't connect to the Internet either...

maybe the hub might be ####ed then?

[LP]

And the dns servers is always the same I presume?

Thanks for your help it's been a nice session this. I've learned alot...

Cheers...

[LP]

Hmm...

This is starting to look like a bad movie...

The DNS servers are now in place in database/DNS servers...

The interface goes online without complains...
(Here comes the famous -but- again)
but, browser says no route to host when trying to reach e.g. amiga.org... :cry:

So this time it might be the gateway?

I've set it to what Windows says it has for gateway... This is proberbly wrong again, what do I set it to?...

[LP]

No docs...
It's a borrowed second hand hub...

Darn... A dead end :-(

[LP]

I have found the manufacturer but but no docs available...

Hmm... But atleast I found out ow to setup at network :-)

Thanks

[LP]

Thanks a bunch... ;-)
