Pulling my hair out here.

I'm currently remoted into my home network and can't restart SPUTLAPTOP, FYI. (I would be able to if samba f'n worked!).

Having SAMBA sharing problems.

Avahi "Vault" box - 192.168.1.11
Sputlaptop Win7 box - 192.168.1.13

smbclient -L 192.168.1.13
Results in: SMB server stopped responding, Called name not present or NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT. Box is up and this used to work.

smbclient -L 192.168.1.11
Results in my Linux SAMBA shares being shown (positive)

Switch to GUI and try to browse HDA under network, or smb://192.168.1.11 or smb://hda results in an error box that says Unable to mount location - failed to retrieve share list from server.

Same thing w/ Sputlaptop.

SO there a few problems here, but for starters I should at least be able to browse linux samba, FROM the linux box.

Herse smb.conf

Edit: I've tried putting HDA in a new workgroup (both we're in workgroup) and try to browse itself (sort of figuring the laptop is a no go till I get home). Result is the same.

Tried binding to specific interfaces, encrypt passwords on/off, forcing local browser, all to no success.

Whats funny is I can access the HDA from Windows PC. I know that because I can do \\hda.sput.net over my OpenVPN and browse to it just fine. Pretty sure it would work from SPUTLAPTOP too.

Edit #2:
Disabled both iptables - still nothing.

Edit #3: just kicked the sputlaptop off the network after i read the bottom of this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1169149 (ms article)

Still no go.

Edit #4: wow. Doing Ctrl + L in nautilus and smb://hda/directshare works even though it asks for user/pass everytime. ok so the servers samba isn't broken. Going to assume something is borked on SPUTLAPTOP for now.. but a solution to be able to easily browse your own HDA w/out premounting would be nice.

Alright so I can live w/ not being able to browse SAMBA through the Network Panel for the HDA server.

SPUTLAPTOP is back up and again - smbclient can list the shares.

Open up in Nautilus - it asks for User/Domain/Pass.

It forces you to put something in domain. I've tried the workgroup, SPUTLAPTOP, HDA and triple checked credentials. (Users are the same btw). Just keeps coming back w/ the password dialog.

Nothing in logs.
