Did anyone actually succeed in connecting an Amiga to a Vista PC with smbfs?

[Shoonay]

And how would that differ, than with connecting it to the XP, beside those settings mentioned above?

Dunno, I've never done it, tho...

[Mad-Matt]

dont think ive tried to see if amiga can see vista shares, but vista can see/access amiga with no issue. works same as with xp. didnt have to make any adjustments for vista to see amiga.

I tried a lot but it doesn't work. So my question is: Has anybody ever accomplished a samba connection using smbfs?

Sorry for the bump, but this seems like the best place to ask...

I've put my Amiga on my home network (wired rather than wireless) and I can access the internet via my ADSL router without any problems. I can also access my router's config page from the Amiga. I'm using MiamiDX, OS3.9 BB2, and a 3Com 3c589 PCMCIA card, BTW.

I've also been trying to access my shared directories on my Vista PC using SMBFS on the Amiga, but it just isn't working.

I've added the Amiga's IP address to my firewall (Comodo), in exactly the same way as I added the IP address for my wife's laptop and my work laptop, so I know this works.

I've tried pinging the Amiga from the PC, and I get "Destination host unreachable". Pinging the laptops works fine.

Similarly, SMBFS cannot find the IP address of my PC.

Any suggestions? I have a feeling it's something that I need to change/add in the MiamiDX config, rather than on the PC side.

Thanks!
Steve.

LOL!!! Ho Ho. heh, If you solve the mystery of trying to get Samba for the Amiga to work with either XP or Vista I'll gladly PAY you to come round my house and configure my system to work. I'll even make you a meal .

I had another bash at this the other day, this time using Tango. It finds the browselist, connects, shows the list on XP of the available shares and when you connect it returns the error dialog "Please INSERT volume/disk...".

Translated, that would mean I've just removed the HD from an XP machine.

God, I hate this port to the Amiga so much!

(Amiga, Firewall, Router, Brick walls, etc my head has gone through ALL of them. I pretty much have the same setup as you do. I;ve also tried different versions of this software to no avail.

In addition amigasamba.org is no longer available.

You probably need to dumb down the security in Vista. I no longer have a Vista install, but check the settings in Local Security Policy / Local Policies / Security Options.

In particular (but there might be more that need to be set):

Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level = Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 if negociated
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally sign communications (always) = Disabled

[StevenJGore]

Since my last post a few days ago, I am now able to ping my Amiga from my PC and ping my PC from my Amiga. I can't get any further than that though.

@adolescent: I think you're probably right. I'll backup my Vista install and then try disabling things until it works.

Has anyone ever got this working?

I can connect and get directory listings, but when ever I try to open a file from and smbfs connected share the connection just hangs.
