So, second time smbclient stopped working (or atleast I can't connect to my windows share)
The first time, I also created a thread about after trying to get it to work for hours without success. Then suddenly it started working, no idea why (and thus I closed the thread). And now it stopped working again, and I can't figure out why, I've spent hours searching and trying different things to get it to work, but noone seems to have the same problem. I just don't understand what's happening, and a little guidance would be amazing...
Things I've tried:
*Reinstalling smbclient. This removed my /etc/samba folder. And IT WONT COME BACK, soo... dunno what's up with this one..
*To troubleshoot, I did smbclient -L ip-adress... Which told me it couldn't find the conf file. If I testparm this I get: protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES
* If I try to mount the windows share, I get: failed to retrieve share list from server. Before I tried to fix it (reinstalling, etc.) I got something about permissions. So I guess if I fix one thing I'll get the other.
If I could get some help that would be amazing, right now I'm thinking about a reinstall, since I'm clueless about how to fix this. Problem is, it probably would occurr again after some time.
Thanks in advance

I always find that Samba stops working on the second Tuesday of the month

Err, I'm sorry, but how will that help me?

Do you have samba 3.6.3-4 installed? The /etc/samba directory and its contents belong to it.
The second Tuesday of the month was a joke -- that is when Microsoft pushes their updates. It often breaks the authentication of SMB on my network's Windows box.

Had no idea, made me laugh though, now that I know
I only have smbclient installed, not samba. Is the conf file only for samba? If so, why would smbclient complain?

It would seem that smbclient looks for the file...

But, it does go on to work without it. You might try installing samba to see if it helps.

still get the same error.
Also, I can still access the share with all the other computers

Ah, I bet there is not a /etc/smb.conf yet. Copy (as root) /etc/samba/smb.conf.default to /etc/samba/smb.conf.
I did a diff on the files for my system, and I changed /etc/samba/smb.conf so that the workgroup is home.
ewaller@odin:/etc/samba 1034 %diff smb.conf smb.conf.default

Problem is. I got no /etc/samba/ folder at all: there's nothing to copy

Okay, now I am lost. /etc/samba should have been created when you installed samba

Allright, managed to find a backup of my /etc/samba folder.
Anyway, when running: smbclient -L ip-adress-of-the-server I get this:
[nonah@ND ~]$ smbclient -L 192.168.1.86
Enter nonah's password:
Failed to load upcase.dat, will use lame ASCII-only case sensitivity rules
Failed to load lowcase.dat, will use lame ASCII-only case sensitivity rules
protocol negotiation failed: NT_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES
[nonah@ND ~]$
I also get a: failed to retrieve share list. trying to mount the server with pcmanfm.
Any ideas

Eh, now I feel stupid. Only had to restart the server.
Problem is, it seems I have to do this every time I upload a file to the server, oh well.
Thanks for your help though, much appreciated

hey... just a note on this for you, but i got this issue a lot.... i have to start my server from /etc/rc.local so the network has time to start up... you can add a sleep command to delay it further as well if required. i kept having to jump to my vnc to restart the samba server then all was fine if samba isnt working though, first thing i try is to restart the server daemon, then if still not working, re create your user. this always sorts it unless an upgrade has broken something
