Pogoplug with Optware SMB shares – can’t connect

[dramiko]

I have a Pogoplug with a couple of drives connected and shared with SMB using optware. I’ve been able to successfully connect to them from my mac, PC, and XBMC machines and I’d like to connect from WiiMC as well.

When I put in the settings for the IP and Login/Pass I always get a connection error. When I put in settings for my Mac SMB shares, WiiMC connects right away.

I’m not sure what I’m missing here, or if I need to make changes in my smb.conf file on the Pogoplug, but I’d really like to get that connection working if at all possible. Thanks for any tips or advice.

Here are the settings in the smb.conf file currently.
[global]
workgroup = workgroup
server string = Pogoplug Samba2 Server
hosts allow = 192. 127. ..# you may need to put 10. here
null passwords = yes
guest account = root
log file = /opt/var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /opt/etc/samba/smbpasswd
dns proxy = no
preserve case = yes
local master = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

I’m using the following settings when setting up my WiiMC SMB share.

no luck so far.

So I found this bit of information from Tantric elsewhere in the forum. It looks like it may be what I need, but I not sure how to write it into the config file.

SAMBA + WiiMC will work, but AD (or domains!) aren’t supported. Here’s what is:

NTLM v1 authentication over port 445 (ie: no NETBIOS)

Anyone know how?

a little more info on my situation over at this post http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1566&p=8471#p8471 I’ll try to keep it there for any future updates and maybe post back here if I get a definitive solution.
