The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SSH and samba appear not to be working when accessing from windows.

Asked by r_linux in Linux Networking

Tags: accesible, connect, linux, samba

We have a windows XP/2000 network. A linux red hat 8.0
machine was connected to this network. I configured
samba on it successfully.

When i go to My network places on my windows XP
machine i can see the linux machine. When i double
click on it i am immediately given a user name and
password dialog box. Now initially on entering the
username and passwd i could connect to the shares
without any problem. The next day (without any changes
made to any machine except the loggin off on the
windows XP machine) when i tried to access the linux
shaer i could not do so.
I again had to enable the
users by running "smbpasswd -e <username>". That was
the first wierd thing.

Today (as well as yesterday) when i double click on the
Linux machine it says "\\LinuxTest not accesible"
which is the error msg got only when samba is not
running. When i check on the linux machine i see that
samba is running properly.

Now what am i suppoed to do? Samba seems to be working
properly. There is no explanation for this.

The same thing happened with me using putty on windows
XP. I was using it to connect to the Linux machine via
ssh for over 2 days and then suddenly i cannot
connect!!! Stange.

SSH and samba appear not to be working when accessing from windows. But they are actually running on the Linux machine.

I reinstalled openssh and still i am unable to
connect.

I just wish to ask this group if there is anything
else i can do or check before i plan to do a complete
reinstall of the linux machine. Where is the problem
from....the linux machine or windows machine? Can such
a thing happen suddenly?
