Solved Can't see FreeBSD Samba from other devices

[htutt]

Hi,

Good day!

I was trying to configure samba36 on FreeBSD 10.1 in order to share with my other devices such as an iPad and a Windows 7 laptop. But I couldn't see the Samba server from other devices. here is my output from smbclient:

root@toshiba:/usr/home/htut # smbclient -U htut -L localhost
Enter htut's password:
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.24]

   Sharename  Type  Comment
   ---------  ----  -------
   homes  Disk  Home Directories
   IPC$  IPC  IPC Service (FreeBSD Samba Server)
   htut  Disk  Home Directories
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.24]

   Server  Comment
   ---------  -------
   TOSHIBA  FreeBSD Samba Server

   Workgroup  Master
   ---------  -------
   MYGROUP

In my /usr/local/etc/smb.conf:

[global]
netbios name = toshiba
hosts allow = 192.168.1  192.168.0.  127.  10.1.1.

I connected it from other devices via the address //toshiba or my IP //192.168.1.102, but it failed. I don't know what I still have to take care of. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Good day!

My problem is solved now. I didn't notice that it could not serve Samba without web server. After installing and setting up Apache Web Server I can see my FreeBSD Samba server from my iPad and Windows 7.

Thank you, guys, especially to FreeBSD teams and developers.
