SMB and network problems

Filed under:hznp.com — rose @ January 9, 2009 edit
  • hi all,

    as i see here, not many people seem to have problems with smb. i successfully helped a friend to install his box and to enable smb in his network, but now i'm trying my own box (which was only used with a large harddisk before) and just can't get it work. i use xbmc version from 2004-01-02. (i hope this is the one with the new samba client). perhaps somebody can help me with the following:

    1.) as soon as i start xbmc my xbox stops responding to pings. when i start other applications (like dvd-movie player) i see the same behaviour. is this the usual behaviour?

    2.) i changed 'xboxmediacenter.xml' with my logon data for my w2k-workstation which has 192.168.16.10. my xbox has 192.168.16.205. :


    test
    <!-- smb://domain;user:password@server/share !-->
    smb://server;xbox:xbox@192.168.16.10/musik

    server is the machine name. it is placed in the wokrgroup gulp68. none of the following is working

    smb://workgroup;xbox:xbox@192.168.16.10/musik
    smb://workgroup;xbox:xbox@server/musik
    smb://xbox:xbox@server/musik
    smb://computername;administrator:password@server/musik
    smb://computername;administrator:password@192.168.16.10/musik

    can anyone help?

    thanks

  • no software firewall, and my version is 'xbox media center cvs build' which is probably (i got it from emule) 2004-01-02

    i checked the user rights as well... full control is granted to "everyone"

    thanks again


  • go to settings-->system info.

    do you see your ip address and stuff there?

    ts


  • >can you ftp to your box when xbmc is started? (make sure you >have enabled ftp in settings...)

    no, but when i quit xbmc, ftp is available again. ftp is enabled in settings, general in xbmc. i was wondering if this is normal. http isn't working neither.

    thanks

  • have you tried without domain/workgroup?

    smb://administrator:password@192.168.16.10/musik

    look in you shared folder (musik) so that there you have read rights...

    do you have a software firewall on your computer? if so, disable it and try...


  • thank you!!!!

    it's working now with the release 2004-01-02.

    thank to anyone who helped!

  • hmm. you said you dl from emule... it might be a bad build. try get a new one. and as darkie said, try find a newer one. 07-01 is the latest build...


  • just ot of curiousity... what solved the problem?


  • by the way:
    i see no connection on my workstation (netstat /a) when i establish a connection (chosing the smb-share from xbmc). i get no entries in the security log of w2k although auditing logon events is enabled...


  • can you ftp to your box when xbmc is started? (make sure you have enabled ftp in settings...)


  • it only could have been the new release. i installed the 2004-01-07 release and it was working without any additional configuration. i just used
    smb://user:pass@server/share.

    bye


  • and 2004-01-02 uses the new samba code with bugs, better upgrade to a higher version.


  • go to settings-->system info.

    do you see your ip address and stuff there?

    ts
    yes. the ip is hown correctly. i tried both editing the ip settings in xmbc and leaving it blank to use the evox settings. in both cases i see 192.168.16.254. but no ping respond (when xmbc is started), no ftp, no http....
