How to explore remote LAN computers folder with smb/cifs? (solved)
-
I set up a PFSENSE-PFSENSE ipsec-tunnel, everything works great, i can ping and adress everything with webgui in both ends too the other pfsense hosts.
I have tried to change settings in belive that i could see the other subnets computer in explore folders. Is this an possibillity in some way? -
I now see that i can look in too the remote lan network from windows in cmd with hostname example: c:> dir service-computer
this means that hosts are available over the ipsec-tunnel. Are there any setting in samba missing, maybe? -
If you can ping the machine but can't access it by using its IP as a UNC path (like \192.168.1.5\ ) then there must be something on that particular machine preventing access.
With Samba there are a few directives that limit access, at least the "hosts allow" directive may need to have your remote IPsec subnet added to it.

Sry, i didnt tell that i can do the same by ip. I have windows 7 in one end of the tunnel and xp in the other firewall turned off with the same result. I have tried several things last day with no success.
edit:
Missed this from log(but phase2 is established):

I dont understand how to edit this value:

You'll have to check the documentation for that, as it may vary from place to place. Typically it's just a matter of editing the line in your smb.conf, but the location of that file will depend upon what OS the server is running.

Hello thanks for your tim!
I now also have freenas working over the tunnel.Im running windows 7 on all computer in my end and xp home on all computer in the other end. I also have two win2003servers in each end.
When you say server do you point to all clients running samba, or do you point to a real server running samba?edit:
After reading about samba, smb/cifs i now understand that pfsense or clients cant act as a nameserver.
I need to set up a server in each end of the tunnel and make one of them to masterbrowser (unsure of the name). I dont understand if i can setup this without domain and every computer connected tho it or if i can use workgroups? -
I thought that folders automatically should be visisble in explorer. When i connected networkunit with
automatic reconnect they became visible under my computer. I gave them a "unitletter" which i renamed and put on desktop.
I think the speed is better in the tunnel than over internet.Now i got all function i wanted and shall go further with mobile connection!
