[sort of SOLVED] arch not showing up in win 7 home network browser

wootsgoinon · 2014-11-06 13:36:32

also can't access my linux shares via samba, however i can mount shared win folders via mount/cif.
workgroup = WORKGROUP on both machines. please help me, thank you!

EDIT:
still no indication in win that archbox is up and can't mount individually shared folders, but whatever.

Are you using samba (with AD) or smbd?

wootsgoinon · 2014-11-06 14:37:15

smbd

nomorewindows · 2014-11-06 14:38:43

AD is an enormous headache that is supposed to relieve me of a major headache, but regular smbd is easier to work with for most purposes. Does systemctl status smbd show it running?

wootsgoinon · 2014-11-06 14:40:14

yes

nomorewindows · 2014-11-06 14:41:22

Can you smbclient -L localhost?

Have you tried manually entering the address in Explorer or mapping a share to a drive? I can do those things but I'm pretty sure the Arch box doesn't show up in the network browser.

Edit: syntax is \\<IP of arch>
You may be able to use the hostname rather than the IP, but that may require extra configuration.

i tried, it says it detects the device, but couldn't find the shared folder. tried with many different paths.

Try smbclient -L <arch IP>

same output

nomorewindows · 2014-11-06 15:32:49

Try

smbclient //localhost/tetsuo -U <user>

to see if actually does anything. Of course in the other example you can

net use x: \\<IP arch>\tetsuo /user:<user>

.

The second line goes on the Windows machine.

net use x: \\<IP arch>\tetsuo /user:<user>

The command line never quits. From Windows 2000 and on it had some favorite network browsing, so that any other networks wouldn't show up unless it was in your domain tree or whatever the explanation is. AD hasn't fixed every problem there ever was.
