The folder contents could not be displayed

[r46792]

Hi
I'm using Fedora C3..i setup samba already..i can access from my windows to the Linux box without problems..
My problem is to access from Linux to windows shares..Windows 2003 Server
I can see the workgroup, even the computers but no the shares.
The error i get is: The folder contents could not be displayed in every windows pc..
any ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried using the command line to mount the share?

smbmount //<hostname>/<share> /mnt/<mntpoint> -o username=<username>,password=<password>

smbfs does not support SMB signing
Windows Server 2003 is not your 'normal' smb share, look into CIFS

LinNeighborhood is a great GUI, but it won't work until you solve the problem

Try disabling SMB signing on the Windows 2003 Server:

Under Local Security Policy:
Local Policies --> Security Options
Disable "Digitally Sign Packets" (SMB Signing)

Thanks guys ...disabling the digital sign solved the problem...i owe one
Btw: It's a little tricky under Active Directory Domain Controller because it has 2 Local Security Policies, one for the DC and one for the Domain..The one that works is the DC..

Hi, im having the same problem, i have updated(security patches) Windows 2003 Server , and i used to sign in the Win2003 Shares, but know he returns
cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disable it

I have tryied to find
Under Local Security Policy:
Local Policies --> Security Options
Disable "Digitally Sign Packets" (SMB Signing)

but there is nothing "Digitally Sign Packets).

I have gone "Start-> Programs->Administrative Tools-> Domain Controler Security Policy.

There i have found
Domain Member: Digitally Encrypt or sign secure channel data (allways) --> Enable.

I have tried to disable, but the error remains

Must i reboot the system, or this is nothing to have what im looking for?

Thanks
