For the sake of completeness, I had a line in my smb.conf that states hosts allowed 192.168.0. and another line that also stated hosts allowed xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Once I commented out the hosts allowed lines, life is better. Now I can get back to working on my printer problem.

It sounds like you might have a TCP/IP issue. What is the output of this command: ifconfig eth0 and what are the contents of the file: /etc/dhcpd.conf This is 'off the cuff', so if you don't find the exact file, look for something close. What am looking for is a mistaken netmask or something similar. It could still be an ipchains issue too, as someone has suggested, despite what 'smb.conf' has to say about it (ipchains is a kernel module and so touches all net traffic before servers get a chance to allow or deny anything), so the output of: ipchains -L would be most helpful also. Good luck, Troy >>> John.Miller at rbcdain.com 05/02/02 12:09PM >>> I installed SAMBA usign apt. According to the man page for samba, the page is current for version 2.2. and hosts does have a list of the ip of the computers. DHCP assigns the same ip to each computer on reboot so it is almost like have a static ip. I have smb.conf line that states to allow 192.168.0 -----Original Message----- From: Clay Fandre [mailto:clay at fandre.com] Subject: Re: [TCLUG] printing problems and a ping problem How did you install samba? Via apt or did you compile it? Do you have all the hostnames/IP addresses of all your client machines in /etc/hosts on debian? I doubt that DHCP has anything to do with your problem, but you can check this by setting it statically on those machines. If you are having problems pinging, you probably have some ipchains or iptables rules. What does ipchains -L (or iptables -L) show you?

I am running cups. My problem is that my windows machines can't connect to print. According to the log.smbd it looks like it calls lib/access.c:check_access and is returned Denied connection from (192.168.0.13). I get the same thing from the other windows maching except an address of 192.168.0.10. > The other problem, and I don't know if this is related, but 192.168.0.13 can't ping anyone except 192.168.0.1 (debian). > Could someone point me in the direction of how to fix the auth that samba does for the printer. _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
