RPi invisible on network / nmbd issue
Software
XBian version: 1.0RC3 XBMC version: 13.2 Git:20140901-867305b Overclock settings: Xbian profile (840Mhz) Hardware Power supply rating: 5V 3A RPi model (model A/B 256mb/512mb): B+ 512mb SD card size and make/type: Kingston 8GB microSD Network (wireless or LAN): LAN Connected devices (TV, USB, network storage, etc.): RPi using 1 usb connected to 1 externally powered usb hub (7ports) connected to: 1 Seagate USB 2.0 Expansion 2TB, 1 Samsung SATA 320GB drive in USB 3.0 enclosure, 1 Logitech USB wireless combo (kb + mouse) Config files: /etc/hostname: Code: atum Code: 127.0.0.1 localhost Code: multi on Code: [xbian] Code: # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. FOR ADDITIONAL SETTINGS OR SHARES DEFINITION Code: [Expansion] Problem description: The RPi isn't visible on the network. I cannot browse its shares from Windows 8.1, Windows 7, mobile devices etc. Typing the IP into windows explorer as \\192.168.0.3\ allows me to see the 3 shares: Movies, TV Shows and Shared. \\192.168.0.3\Expansion and \\192.168.0.3\Samsung are hidden, as expected, but can be accessed. Trying to access via \\hostname\ doesn't work. Samba in pure Raspbian worked right out of the box. I was able to configure my shares just the way I want them. I don't really know how to use this 'net' command to configure these, so I tried editing the user.conf file. Also, I wanted to remove access to the initial shares, that's why I commented out shares.conf. I added the samba user by using 'sudo smbpasswd -a alex'. Basically, I need to be able to browse to \\atum\ from my windows laptop. Could my problem be related to how Xbian handles SMB shares (the net command I'm unfamiliar with) ? Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help, Alex |
