    I’ve set up a samba share on my Ubuntu Lucid Lynx server, but am unable to connect from within WiiMC 1.0.6 (or MPlayerCE). I am able to browse this share from a Windows and an OSX client.

    Here is my smb.conf:


    
[ global ]
    

    
workgroup = WORKGROUP
    
netbios name = LucidSambaShare
    
server string = LucidSambaShareString
    
unix charset = UTF8
    
hosts allow =
    
hosts deny =
    
security = USER
    
encrypt passwords = yes
    
max log size = 0
    
create mask = 0777
    
directory mask  = 0777
    
force create mode = 0777
    
force directory mode = 0777
    
use sendfile = yes
    
smb ports = 445
    

    
[ Downloads ]
    
comment =
    
path = /home/vanepelw/Downloads
    
valid users = vanepelw
    
read only = yes
    
guest ok = no
    
oplocks = no
    
map archive = no

    Does anything look amiss here? Is there a way to see the actual error message that WiiMC is generating? In my samba logs on the server, I am not seeing any failed attempts, etc.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi vanepelw,

    could you try the following settings (either one and both)?
    max xmit = 32768
    keepalive = 0

    Both belong to the global section.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the help – Unfortunately I get the same response after adding those parameters from both WiiMC and MPlayerCE. Is there a way within one of these apps or a different app to see the actual error message that is being returned?

    This has been resolved – I’m embarrassed to admit it had nothing to do with the Samba config, but was due to me using my router’s guest connection account (http only) rather than the full account. I distinctly remember not wanting to put in the 30 random character PSK with the funky Wii keyboard back then, and I paid for it now. Thanks for the help, nonetheless.
