Accesing Samba shares (no server)

a87 · 2008-06-18 01:48:34

I'm trying to access shares without the server counterpart of samba. That means I've got smbclient installed but no samba installation.

My smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = HOME
netbios name = %h
encrypt passwords = yes

I get absolutely nothing with smbtree. I can't see my home's windows or linux network shares/workgroups, nothing.

try something similar to 'smbclient -L host', where you submit the host name of the computer you want to access for host.

Trying -L host results in NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE with both the machine name and the ip.
