Can't see Samba Server in network browse

Hi there,
I have been trying stuff for hours, now I think it's time to ask someone:
I have a samba server with a static ip (netctl).
I can ping the server, ssh to it, smbclient -L is working and also in Nautilus if I use the 'Connect to Server' option everything works fine.
But when I try to 'Browse Network' I only see the Workgroup but when I want to access the Workgroup after some time of wait I get 'Unable to access location Failed to retrieve share list from server: No route to host'.
Also if I stop using static ip with netctl and use dhcpcd 'Browse Network' starts working...
I really don't see whats the problem, does someone else?
Here is my netctl profile:
Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
Interface=enp2s0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.178.200/24')
Gateway='192.168.178.1'
DNS=('192.168.178.1')
And my smb.conf:
[global]
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    server string = SMB
    security = user
    map to guest = bad user
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
    max log size = 1000
    interfaces = lo enp2s0
    bind interfaces only = true
    dns proxy = no
[Files]
    path = /data/smb/Files
    public = no
    valid users = qam
    writable = yes
[Shared]
    path = /data/smb/Shared
    public = yes
    only guest = yes
    writable = yes
Thanks in advance
qam

i discovered a little strange thing...i can see remote pc only after 30-40 minutes after i booted the server machine, so it is not random, why this?

  • VPN Connected but can not see folders / server

    I have established a connection between an OSX server and client but now can not see the server or any services on the client.  There are no servers listed in the 'Network' section of finder and using 'Connect to server' I can not see it either. The log on the server shows the connection and the client does as well but other than that I can not do anything with the connection.
    Details

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:
    HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
    Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
    If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

  • Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi ?

    Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi or simply solve this, I have tryied shotdown pressing keys like P and R, option, etc. Please help me .

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Can't see SLES server joined to domain

    Hi all: I am a domain membership on SLES newbee and I need some help with getting an SLES server working properly with our domain. The server I need help with was recently rebuilt from OES 11 to SLES 11 due to zenworks incompatibility. I still need to be able to access this server's storage over the network. When I browse the network from my Windows 7 computer the server does not show up and I cannot reach the server via \\servername. The server is in our DNS database.
    So I joined the server to our domain successfully. I used the newer style domain notation rather than windows 2000/NT notation. I can see the server in now a member of the domain by looking at the domain members on one of our DCs. I have not enabled any other features such as "Also use SMB information for Linux Authentication" and "All users to share their directories". NTP is configured and operating. The server does verify that it is a domain member. Under Samba configuration I have set the domain using the older style domain notation. It is not a DC controller. I have also set the NETBIOS name.
    I would appreciate some help understanding what I did wrong and what I need to do to correct this. BTW, I tried this once before on a test server and it worked well. Not sure what I did different.
    Thanks for the help, Chris.

    DSfW does not apply as you pointed out, and I don't believe I was referencing that component. I need this SLES 11 SP3 server to be visible to some of my users. I want to share a directory named "storage" and I need it so that they can authenticate via AD rather than adding all these users as onto the SLES box. My users also need to be able to browse to the server using Windows Explorer or get to it via \\server.
    So in YAST2 I can set up samba but I can also join the domain. This is where I am getting confused and setting something incorrectly.

    Reading the above am I right in thinking that your server is not running
    OES11 but instead "regular" SLES11? If so, where does Domain Services
    for Windows (a component of OES11) fit in to the above?
    HTH.

  • [PARTIALY SOLVED]Can't see SAMBA share or Printer in Linux

    Greetings all,
    I have built a headless server running Arch linux as the base OS.  I am running SAMBA and CUPS and performing all maintenance of this server via SSH.
    The SAMBA share I can see (read/write) on all the Windows 7 machines on the network as well as the Printer connected to the server.  But I can't see it when I open Thunar or PCManFM.  Nor can I access the printer.
    It's obviously something I am doing wrong but I have Googled different parameters trying to find a solution but have come up short.
    Your assistance and guidance in putting me in the right direction is most appreciated.  All my Linux machines are running Arch.
    Thanks,
    Ian

    I have looked high and low.  The printer is set up via CUPS and the printer in smb.conf is set to CUPS.  All 4 windows computers in the house now have this printer set as default and can print fine.
    But if I try to print in Linux, for example in Libreoffice, I get No default printer found.  Please choose a printer and try again.  When I click ok, the network printer does not show up for me to select.
    I have tried updating the /etc/cups/client.conf on the client computer and it is set as:
    # see 'man client.conf'
    homeserver /var/run/cups/cups.sock
    homeserver 192.168.X.XX
    From what I have read so far, this is correct.  When I go to the CUPS Web Interface it shows under Manage Printer my HP 7300 Series printer there and in idle waiting for job.  And in Windows I can print to it just fine.
    As far as I can  tell SAMBA is set up correctly (I can mount the file drive in Arch with no issues) and CUPS seems to be configured correctly as well from all that I have read.
    Any insight would be great,
    Thanks,
    Ian

  • Upgraded to 10.5.8 and now can't see either of my networked printers

    Hello all, I just upgraded my G5 dual 2.5 to 10.5.8. I have two printers that are both connected to separate Airport Extremes. My G5 ethernet port is connected to a linksys WET11 wireless ethernet bridge, which is in turn connected to the wi-fi network of the main airport. Here is my problem. I can surf the web just fine, so clearly my G5 is seeing the Airport. However ever since upgrading to 10.5.8 I can't add either of my networked printers in the printer setup. It just doesn't see any printers. I've reset the printing in the OS (control clicking on the print prefs and resetting followed by reboot) I've rebooted both the printer and the airport separately and I've double checked that the printer is set as a shared printer in the airport admin software. My laptop (an ibook g4) also running 10.5.8, has no problem seeing both networked printers and printing to them. I'm flummoxed as to why my tower suddenly can't. (It could see both with the exact same setup running 10.4.11) Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated, since this is very frustrating! thanks,
    -Andrew

    Your network setup is a little complicated. Can you explain it a little better and confirm that there's only one DHCP server in it - all devices get IP addresses from one of the Airport Extremes, for example?
    It sounds like maybe you have two or more separated subnets.

  • Can anyone suggest why Dev Studio can't see the server engine

    We have NW2004s/SP08 installed.  The server J2EE engine runs fine and one can log into the server and succssfully deploy jar's directly to it.
    We also have Dev Studio installed on a desktop and it works fine.  We have our J2EE preferences set using the actual IP address of the server J2EE engine and port number 3061. (We can ping this IP address successfully.)
    When we try to do a Deploy/Run from Dev Studio and monitor this attempt on the server side, we can see Dev Studio trying to connect.
    But it doesn't connect.  In Dev Studio, we just get a message saying "sdmhost empty or unknown".
    What's missing in our config? It was set up for us by externals no longer here.  Since we can successfully ping the IP of the server from the PC, and since we can see DevStudio trying to connect, it can't be a network connectivity problem.
    Thanks for any suggestions as to where to look/what to do.

    Pascal -
    I am indebted to you for your kindness in taking the time to answer such a trivial question.
    I assume that because the client is now asking me for the SDM password, your solution is correct.  (It didn't ask me for a password before - I just got the error message.)
    So I've tagged your reply for 10, even though I don't know the password so can't completely confirm yet.
    I'll cycle back and confirm once I have the password.
    Thanks very much again.

  • Can't see local computers in network neighborhood anymore

    Hello,
    I bought a WRT610N on Friday to replace my WRT54G and while it is running great I have a small issue.
    If I go to browse my local network, I don't see a list of computers like I used to with the WRT54G
    If I type \\computername then I can access the shares on each computer as well as be able to \\computername\c$
    I can ping all of them and yes all of them are on the same workgroup as well as the router itself.
    What setting I need disabled in the router so I can "see" my computers in network neighborhood
    Thanks

    Are you able to access the computer using the ip address of that particular computer....? Try that and check if you can access the computer using the ip address instead of the name.

  • Mac's can not see or connect to network resources

    Our company network is a windows network. We have a couple of remote users with Mac's. The Mac's connect to the network over a VPN. They can connect to the network through the VPN but can not see or connect to any network resources. What settings am I missing?

    My problem is that once the VPN is established and I am on the network, none of the shares or resources are visible or able to be connected to.
    VPN gets you connected to the network as if you were physically present in the office, but nothing more.   Once you have successfully connected via VPN, you have to perform a seperate step to actually login to the server. 
    Also, some of the "it just works" aspects, like seeing all the things you can login to, before actually logging in to them, is a feature of Bonjour, which doesn't pass over VPN.  You'll probably have to use the Finder Menu GO -> Connect to Server, and then type the server's IP address in manually.

  • Can't see files on a network Hard Drive

    So I have a new airport extreme and I wanted to put a drive on the network. I have two HDDs: one is the time machine that I normally have connected to my computer and another is a Hitachi that I just have Movies on. Both of them will show up under the APE in the shared, but none of the files that are on the drives show up as being there. I also tried backing up when my time capsule was on the network (I could see the shared drive icon on the desktop) but it said the backup volume couldn't be found. When I look at the disks in the airport utility it says that they have things written, but I can only see the empty free space when I open them from my MB. Can I access the files that are normally on the drives from the network without having to reformat them?
    The Hitachi is formatted under the Journaled Mac OS as well.

    I had the drive on a user password, but changed it to just be accessible if you were connected to the router. With this setting I can see the files on my movie drive, but when I try to do I time machine backup, it just sits on the "making backup disk available" and never is able to start the backup. Is there some trick to allowing the disk to backup from the airport?
