Showing Windows partitions in AmigaOS (Samba question)

[AmiDelf]

I am wondering if someone here knows how to mount
or use a Windows partition on Amiga thru Samba?

From the Windows side, I have no problems as it all
goes under Sharing.

I've tried to install TANGO, but its giving me a
error "Could not find a tango.catalog", but it is
installed.

Please help me. That would also help me a lot.

Regards,

I haven't looked at Tango, but I do have access to my Win drives from the Amiga using smb.handler which is part of the SMBConnect package. All available on Aminet.
Of course, you'll need to have Samba installed and inetd running first.

oki.. but then you use SMBclient -L or something, right? You
dont know of how to make the PC as a virtual drive on AmigaOS
desktop?

There's a great install guide on www.amigasamba.org which shows how to setup both the PC and Amigaside of Samba.

No. I don't use SMBClient at all. SMBConnect has example of DOSDrivers to mount the PC drives.
Mine are FURNACE_C: FURNACE_D: and FURNACE_E: being the three FAT32 partitions on this (rather hot) machine. From here, I mount the whole of the A2k's drives as Q:
The A2k uses Samba with shares setup for "ALL".

Hope this helps you:

The following extract could be entered into your s:/startup-sequence.s or create a file that you 'execute' when required.

<-- snip -->

   C:assign Samba: dh1:programs/miami3.1/samba

   Run <>NIL: Miami:Miami NOGUI

   ;WaitForPort MIAMI.1

Run <>NIL: Samba:bin/nmbd <>NIL: nmbd -S -n amiga
Run <>NIL: Samba:bin/smdb <>NIL: smbd -S

; Now mount the PC drives

;Wait Secs=2
;c:Mount PCC:

;Mount PCC2:

;   c:loadwb

<-- snip -->

Then use the C:/mount command to 'mount' the PC drives.

Example mount dos-driver:

<-- snip -->
Handler     = L:SMB-Handler
Stacksize   = 40000
Priority    = 5
GlobVec     = -1
Mount       = 1
Startup     = "C=\\win98\C MH=amiga W=domain U=guest P=''"
 
<-- snip -->
Win98 = Name of MY PC workstation
MH = Name of MY Amiga workstation
W = Name of MY workgroup so change these values accordingly for your environment.

@AmiDelf
I just checked Aminet and can't find the SMBConnect package. Would you like me to email it to you? It's only 75k of file.

[AmiDelf]

yes.. sure...

Where is my e-mail :=)

I also use SMBF to mount remote shares as AmigaDOS volumes.

From a CLI:
SMBFS WORKGROUP=group name USER=your machine's name
SERVICE=//RemoteMachineName/share VOLUME=PCdisk:

I hope that's broadpark.com...
Should be on it's way.
