Can't browse Network

[toddbailey]

All,


Just finished installing F15 x64, and originally I was able to browse network shares,
After doing a yum update, and installing a few additional apps, none of which have any dealing with networking, I can't browse the network

In the popular file managers, I can see the machines, but can't see anything beyond that point.

I can't even open the local machine's shares.

when I do I see a unable to mount location , failed to retrieve share list from server


Both the FIREWALL and SELINUX are disabled, SMB/NMB are running, I can ping the machines and I can connect to the internet.

smb workgroup is set, security is set to user, smb has my user name/password added via the desktop app and I have a public share created /mnt/share with 777 permissions.

I've tried both fixed ip addresses and automatic.
I'm using the generic smb.conf file other that changing workgroup, netbios name and share

additionally, I can't mount a nfs share either,
mount 192.168.1.10:/areca3 /mnt/areca3 -t nfs
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.1.10:/areca3

other machines can mount this share so it mujst be central to the new install



There must be one crucial step I've missed, but what is it?


thanks

Have you looked at the samba log in /var/log/samba? Are these Windows shares?

Try

PHP Code:

mount.nfs 192.168.1.10:/areca3 /mnt/areca3 


Don't you need to setup /etc/exports for this to work?

I was able to fix the nfs issue, dhcp (automatic ip address) didn't get reset, so instead of 192.168.1.15, the machine got an ip of 192.168.1.154. Just a bit different. I eventually set exports to rw on 192.168.1. on the server machine so it should be ok

Still, can get samba to play nice, 2 fedora machines, a F14 server & F16 Client shares etc. folder protections set to 0777, security to share etc... no firewall or se linux enabled at this point
but I continue to get access refused messages from F16 to F14.

didn't try the reverse yet

which samba log file should I be looking at the svr or the client?

Server. Doesn't cost anything to look at both though.

I had a somewhat similar issue with ssh. Even with the firewall disabled it wasn't working. It seemed that just toggling ssh on and off and back on in the firewall triggered something that caused it to start working.
