Piece together clues
========================================================================================================================= Hello Fabian, On Nov 10, 2007, at 12:52 PM, Fabian Franz wrote: Use FreeNX 0.7.1. I am using FreeNX 0.7.1. Okay. Set SAMBA_MOUNT_SHARE_PROTOCOL=smbfs in node.conf and open up the 139 (SMB) port on Windows XP (SP2 or later) on loopback. Done. For the loopback adapter enablement, I followed http://www.bitvise.com/msla-winxp2003 Okay. I think it was near the firewall options or for the network adapter, but you _have_ to just try it out. I have enabled this option already on my system so I know it works and it _is_ there somewhere. Then smbclient will work with Windows XP SP2 too. It partly does now. From the server session, if I start konqueror and browse to smb://127.0.0.1:4000, I see 2 shares (netlogon and I have told you to use smbclient, konqueror is not supported, because it has no port option (or had not last I checked). Period. You cannot do different tests with different programs. That does not work. Sorry about that. Here is my attempt with smbclient instead. prakash@ mannose :~> smbclient -l 127.0.0.1 -p 4000 -U adminuser Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding session request to 127.0.0.1 failed (Call returned zero bytes (EOF)) Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding session request to 127 failed (Call returned zero bytes (EOF)) Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Call returned zero bytes (EOF)) I had one other question. My organization has Citrix infrastructure and I see those guys getting their printers and shared mounted on the server-side with no additional loopback adapter enabled (unless the Citrix client installation process does it, but this could be installed by a non-admin user, so that cannot be it) etc. How do you think that works? Via CIFS, you can find more information here: http://www.nomachine.com/faq-read.php?id=AR08D00413 http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR07D00408 but I already explained that in detail in other mails. Okay, okay, it was not detailed enough, else you would have understood it. I will go through those again. You asked me for a HOWTO-get-it-to-work and I provided one. I even provided the information how to get CIFS forwarded stuff working via FreeNX (in the last mail). Though, I admit, you would need to experiment with it. So two things: - You want it working: Use the approach I described above. It works. - You want it working for all cases: Wait for 0.7.2 or 0.7.3. Depending how much time I have. Or: you experiment, but then you need to work with what I have already provided. And also do your own research on the topic via old mailing list archives, nomachine.com and so on ... Sorry this comes through a bit harsh, I apologize for that. That is quite alright. I can understand the volume of emails you must be getting. My problem is: I dunno what you want. (This is very very important when asking for support!) All I want is for the NX server session to be able to print to the client-side printers (through CUPS clients or SMB/CIFS clients depending on what is configured on the client). So I can't give you the needed information. But I won't answer just questions for the how of things, just for the general information, that is just theory and kills time. cu Fabian What I wanted to know is if there is a step-by-step instruction area where this is explained. Sorry I had to bother you with this. I guess there is still dearth of information in this area. I really hope I can help in some way.
