Rép. : Re: [K12OSN] SMB and printing problems

[Guy-Michel Lessard]

Hum, I'm not familiar with smbstatus or findsmb, can you access all the share with smbclient?
What about the permissions of the shared windows printers, are they accessible to all?


>>> krsnendu at orcon.net.nz 2006-03-01 02:12:06 >>>

Everything is on the same subnet / network
There are no routers or firewalls between them.
I can ping by ip address.
