Windows 7 Connect To Old Samba 3.0 Server But Not 3.5?
Jun 9, 2010
I'm experiencing a curious issue. I've installed a second Samba server on our network and I've imported all the users from the original over, along with smb conf files, etc... All PC's are access both servers without an issue except for 1 Windows 7 64-bit OS machine. Oddly enough, the virtual pc on the Win7 box connects without an issue. To add another twist, the win7 box connects to the older Samba without issue. When trying to browse to the new server I get.... "Windows cannot access \NewServer" Check the spelling of the name..... Error Code 0x80070035 The network path was not found.
I am currently installing a Win 7 box. When I first set things up I was able to get onto my Linux server in Network -> [server name], by logging in to Win 7 using the same user name and password set up on the Linux box.A short while later I am unable to connect - I get a dialog prompting me to enter a user name and password and a message "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password". If I re-enter my user name and password the dialog comes back again.
how I might have ended up as part of a Samba sever on my WAN...until now I would have considered myself to be a pretty computer savvy chick but in this case I find myself becoming more and more confused because someone hasn't printed the Samba for Dummies handbook yet! So here I sit, (this being my first forum post ever fyi) needing to know how the heck I became part of this Samba server (Belarc Advisor has informed me of this by accident, I thought it could magically tell me the Creative chip i had on my rocketfish soundcard but thats an entirely different sob story that I'll just have to hash out myself Ive searched everywhere to try to find info on this but everyone seems to want to get it to work with Windows 7 and not about any security measures we can take against it. I just really need to figure out how to
a.) find out if it really is on my pc
b.) get tangible proof so I can go open a can...
c.) get it off of my pc and then go open another can...
The name of the server is FREENAS... yes I am aware thats some sort of file sharing thing what I am concerned about is the stuff I was reading about SWAT and password monitoring.
I'm setting up home media server. At least trying to...My home network looks like this:2 laptops (ubuntu/windows7) and a home server (ubuntuServer + Samba).I've samba setup in a way to provide password-less access to share folders. I secured it by blocking all IPs but the range I use at home. (I can provide config details upon request).With ubuntu laptop, I can connect to server without any issue. I just go to network tabs and can see windows WORKGROUP share smb share both pointing to same folder. So all works good. I can also mount external drive without issue, or create network drive. Connection never times out and it stays all good.
.Problem#1 Using "map network drive" tool I cannot use hostname (server.local) I've to use IP. This means that every time server box is asigned a new IP by my dumb router I have to delete the drive and run wizard again. This is very annoying. Since IP doesn'ts tay static I cannot use WINS or map IP in hosts file. So I'm open to suggestions from your side.
Problem#2 Windows 7 disconnects network drive every 15 minutes (I think), on SAMBA I configured to stay live all the time. But windows has its own mind so it doesn't keep connection live. This results in, lateness when I try to go to my computer as OS tries to find and add drive on network. Every 2 times in 5 this procedure gives me error, host cannot be reached or something like this. So I've to delete folder and remap drive again, which surprisingly works every time! so annoying! I don't have to do this in ubuntu at all, I don't understand why windows behaves in this way.
Problem#3 Very often I cannot ping linux server from windows using hostname, like this: ping server.local - but I can at the same time ping with IP. And also from ubuntu atm I can ping server.local without any problems.
I have an windows 7 on my network connected to a domain, and i have on the desktop links to a shared folders to one samba server (AIX). Time to time all links to that server are missing.Everything works fine, all the connections to that server are ok, but no links on desktop, i re-create the links and all works fine for a couple of time.
just about every time i turn my computer on i get a message that says that i couldn't connect to windows server, than i have to reset my computer a few times sometimes until it connects.
We have a windows 2000 server, a few XP, 1 vista and 1 windows 7. Everything works fine before but all in a sudden, only the Windows 7 cannot connect to the server. The 7 is a new PC, it works and connect to the server fine for the first 3 months, but all of a sudden, it just cannot connect and keep prompting that the user name and password is wrong. I have re-install the 7 (it is HP and we use the recovery disc) and I even get a new wireless adapter to test, the 7 can get on the internet, everything except the server. But all others windows has no problem with the server, I am guess it has to do with the 7. I am getting so frustrated that I also gonna use that HP windows 7 into a door stopper.
When I go on the internet I can go to any site but one. It says that windows could not connect to proxy server. I have tried everything I could think of. I added it to trusted sites, reset the proxy, tried several commands and haven't gotten anywhere. It won't pull up the particular site in IE or firefox, but it will pull it up on any other computer.
I have a server set up in my office for 10 years and it is networked in within the office. Also it is set up for me to be able to connect to it by webmail and also to connect to see files and all I have on it. It has worked always, I was able to get in when out of town, till last week and on the same computer I have used, a laptop, now it does not let me in. The only change was, I have upgraded the laptop with the new Windows 7. I can still get in on my friend computer from outside the network, however he has Windows XP. I have tried other computers, some I can get in with some I cannot. I went to Staples and I cannot get in from there either. Does the new Windows have some new security installed preventing me to get in?
i have a windows 7 laptop and all of my computers at home are connected to my dell server which is running windows server 2008 r2 threw wires that go to my router, now i want to add my labtop to my server connecting the labtop wireless to my wireless router and from there adding it to my server. For some reason my labtop do-sent connect to my server
iam trying to create one domine in vm ware.i am install one server os 2008 and windows 7 client os.in 2008 installed adds.but in client pc can't support connect to network.
i have following problem. At work we have HP proliant ml350 server with windows server 2008 on it, 3x windows 7 client and 25x win xp sp2 clients. Network doesn't work, clients cant see each other, can't see server and server can't see them in network and sharing center. What could be a problem? Is ipv6 protokol on windows 7 obstructing a server or something else?
Today, my house got new internet. Now, my desktop, which is plugged directly into the modem, can't connect to the DNS server. I have internet connection, since Skype and Steam both work, but any web browser only works about 15% of the time. Neither of the three wireless-connected laptops in the house are having any problems. I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work.
Here is my ipconfig /all.

I work from home a lot by remoting in to my PC at work. Last week I was able to remote in just fine, but today could not using my laptop. I could remote in using my wife's laptop just fine, but could not using mine. I get the following error:Could not connect to terminal server can log into the network just fine. I have a random passkey that I enter etc. But, when I put in my workstation ID and try to connect, I get the above error.Again, I was able to log in just fine using my wife's laptop today, but not mine I have not made any changes recently (that I know of)
Update:this seems to be an Internet Explorer issue. I downloaded and tried to remote in using Firefox and it worked just fine. Any ideas why IE is now giving me issues? Is there a setting that changed? I was gonna try to uninstall and reinstall IE, but it does not come up in my list of programs to uninstall...
9 times out of 10 i cannot get pages to load they are either "Timed out" or "Can not connect to server" & the latest one is "firefox has ??????? in a way that it will never be able to connect" Can't remember the ?????? part, messages along these lines, My signal strength is full & when i run trouble shooter it comes back with "No problem was found"
This problem suddenly appeared and after I had successfully managed to connect to the servers. I recently purchased this Dell XPS 8300 with Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium and am trying to connect to a Win2000 and a Win2003 server. I can connect to other Windows 7 machines on this network without incident.I can see the servers in my network, but when I attempt to login, after the first login attempt I get the box showing MININT-9MI7DNAdmini... MININT-9MI7DN was the name of this computer before I renamed it.
I then try to login using the "Use Different Account" option and I put in (server name)(userid) and password, but then I get the second image attached to this post. I've also tried (server name)(userid) but with no greater success.Also, on the computer that is having problems, the system tray icon for the network shows the "X" but when I put the mouse over it, it shows Internet Access.And I do have Internet access on this machine since I am posting this message from the problem machine. I don't know if this system tray icon issue is related but, thought I would mention it.I have ensured that all computers are in the same workgroup.I have turned off IPv6 on the machine having issues.I have made sure that NetBIOS help for IPv4 is enabled.I have tested logging into these accounts on these servers from
I am currently running a Server 2003 R2 domain with about 100 computers running WinXP Pro on it. Some of these computers are older tablet style computers that are used out in our shop floor area. We are looking to replace these with some newer Windows 7 mini-PC's. All of them connect to the network via wireless access points, as these stations need to be mobile so they can be taken to all areas of the shop.During the test setup of the device I can get it to join to the domain and it can connect to our main file server, which is also the primary DC, and download files with no problem. It can also connect to the mail server with no problems that I have noticed so far.
The issue arises, when it tries to connect to get Group Policy updates. when running "gpupdate /force" I get an error for both the user and computer parts of the update that says: "The Processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not locate the directory object group policy..." When looking at the event logs, there are tons of GP errors, all of them are error 1101.
Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I tried a search and didn't find a related thread. I have set up the FTP Server on two Windows 7 (Pro 64-bit) boxes via IIS. I have found that if either PC goes to the screensaver, I cannot FTP to that PC. I get "connection timed out." The second I move my mouse or hit the keyboard to get rid of the screensaver, I can immediately connect via FTP again. Neither box has the screensaver password protected. Is there some setting I need to change so that FTP can connect whether the box is logged on, logged off, or has the screensaver up? This PC will eventually serve as the main image to go out to about 300 remote sites with scripts that run overnight and will need access via FTP.
I tried to log onto Firefox and it said something about not able to connect to the proxy server. I then tried to connect to IE, Opera, and safari and they didn't work. I configured my FF settings to let the network choose the server. But for some programs, like MW2 I cannot access Multiplayer, but I can access teamspeak.
I have recently purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium x64. I installed Office 2007, which has updated to SP3.Using XP I used to be able to successfully use Outlook 2007 for my office email, which uses a microsoft exchange server. I have not been able to get this to connect using Windows 7 despite using exactly the same settings. I have also tried a number of other combinations as advised from other sites but I can't get anything to work?This microsoft fix was also of no help... Error messages when you try to connect Outlook 2007 to Exchange Server: "The action cannot be completed" or "Your Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable" or "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook".I have tried various username combinations: username or domainusername.I have tried various password security options.This is the error message I get: Outlook cannot logon. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
I use the following setting:
Use Cached Exchange Mode - unchecked Encrypt data between MicroSoft Office Outlook and MicroSoft Exchange Server - checked Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP - checked Proxy authentication settings: Basic Authentication
I have a web server and a mail server running under Win 7 on my LAN, most smoothly, but I want to be alerted when the servers appear down to the WAN. So I wrote a PHP script and sent it to a remote web server, and invoke the script from my web browser on the LAN. The script checks my domain's MX records for hosts, then converts the mail server's host name to IP, then connects to IP's IMAPS, POP3S and SMTPS ports (933, 995, 465) and receives the welcome messages. It then connects to my web server on HTTPS and HTTP ports (443 and 80), and sends a simple HEAD request and receives the response.
I've got two retail copies of Test Drive Unlimited, first one is the old one and the second one is the one with car megapack.
Anyway, game works great, wheel also, the only thing that fails is multiplayer.
I can create an GS account but ALWAYS when i login i get an information about server being non available.
I have a router, i tried forwarding the ports but it was the same. I disabled my firewall, uninstalled any application that may have caused this, but it still doesn't work.
Im trying to connect since two months, im kinda desperate right now. Everything was working fine on Vista and XP.
Does anyone have similar problem? Is there any fix?
I installed Win7 (at home) and when I try to configure Outlook 2003 to connect to the exchange server that our company uses. It cannot get access to this server. It says outlook must be online to access the exchange server.
All other internet access works perfectly. I've checked and rechecked all the settings. They are correct. It worked fine on VISTA. I did a Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade. Continues to work fine on my XP Pro station. Seems like something is blocking it from going out over the Internet.
I have a hosted Linux server running CentOS 5 with Samba 3.4. Everything is setup and it is accessible via Linux machines by typing [URL] in a Firefox address bar. I am trying to set up a local network share on a Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 computer. I have tried entering the IP address in 2 locations:1. Map Network drive. I select a drive letter and type in the ip \12.345.678.9 It asks for credentials and I enter the user info for the user I created on the Linux machine. It thinks a moment then pops back up asking for credentials. It doesn't say they are invalid, just never goes through.2. Connect to a website (under Map Network Drive). I type the IP [URL] and click connect and it pops up a dialog saying "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another".
I have tried creating a loopback adapter and trying to setup a connection via SSH using the guide found at [URL]. After completing the tutorial (substituting my server IP address for the destination address given) I try using the Run dialog as indicated and get a "Windows cannot connect to.." error and the diagnose connection button. One thing that may be causing problems there is that the loopback adapter is labeled as an unidentified network and thus stuck as a public connection, and I am unable to change it. Searching for solutions to that brings up things I can't access (no group policy editor on Home Premium) or results in no change (setting DHCP server, which I tried setting to my router).
Recently, Windowx XP Pro was installed on VMWare Workstation.It works great.Then, in virtual XP, I see an active Outlook Express.Since I started to use Windows 7, I missed reading newsgroups in Outlook Express with Win XP.I tried "news.microsoft.com" or "msnews.microsoft.com" as news server.It does not work: Unable to connect to the server.
