Installation issues / Re: LMCE not detecting any shares, smb or nfs

« on: January 03, 2009, 07:48:38 am »

That's one of the questions I'm asking.  How do I remove the "memory" of the other computer from the core?  I tried deleting the device from the device tree in web admin, but then it doesn't pick it back up at all, like it can't see it any more.  Nearest I can tell, it's deleting the device but not the database entry for the device...if that makes any sense.

Ok, here is the dhcp_pnp.log file. I couldn't fine the other one you were talking about, /etc/dhcp3/dhcp.log.  Not there, as far as I can tell.

When I got the first "Device recognized" message when I first got the core up and running, it said it found the other computer.  Did not prompt for individual shares, and I should have at least two or three folders (movies, audio, backups).

Code: [Select]

Keep the good info coming, colinjones!  I can feel the solution is just around the corner!

Windows firewall is D-E-D dead.  Even disabled the underlying service to be sure.  No 3rd party firewalls in place.

The connection is set for DHCP and receives the address fine.  When I first booted up the Core after installation, it found the machine and asked what I wanted to do with it.  I selected "File Server", and it did some stuff, rebooted the router, and it never asked me anything else.  I was under the impression that at some point it would ask for a user name/passwd, but it didn't.  Didn't add my media either.

I have looked at the web admin and it lists nothing saying "File Server", nor "Kitchen" or anything else indicating that it's there.

Thanks for the fast turnaround on the help, colinjones!  I'm really excited about LMCE and want to get it running full-time.  Wish I knew more about Linux and networking in general, but I'll get there eventually.

Installation issues / LMCE not detecting any shares, smb or nfs

« on: December 30, 2008, 07:53:12 pm »

After doing a lot of digging around on the forums the past few days, I've finally gotten LMCE up and running with DHCP server intact.  I have it set up per the recommended setup (2 NICs, LMCE is DHCP server on internal) so I have no strange layout issues.  Both the Core/Hybrid and my other computer have internet access, so that's not an issue.

However, I can't seem to get my Core to find shares on my other computer ("Kitchen"...though it's technically not in the kitchen, but that's not important).  Kitchen has both Ubuntu 8.04 and WinXP on it, and the Core will find Kitchen, but cannot access any information on it.  When I go through the KDE desktop and try Remote Places -> Samba Shares -> LinuxMCE -> Kitchen, it opens smb://kitchen but there's nothing there.  No shares are visible outside Samba either (even when Kitchen is in Ubuntu).  I can ping Kitchen from Core just fine, and Kitchen can see shares on Core, but not vice versa. 

I feel like there must be something in Samba that I'm missing, or I screwed something up in the detection process from the Core.  Is there a way to remove the database entry for Kitchen and rescan the network for shares?  Also, what am I doing wrong that I can see the Core shares but it can't see Kitchen shares?

Thanks in advance for any light that can be shed on my issues.
