[OpenIndiana-discuss] Fwd: Re: Getting started with OI...smb issues

[John Sneddon]

 Thanks Albert,

 I've narrowed down the problem a little. As I mentioned before, the 
 shares were working correctly when accessing from my Mac (and later 
 tested fine with Windows PC as well).

 The problem appears to be that if I start my OI box in the workgroup 
 first, the shares are not showing up correctly on the WDTV- it just 
 shows up with a WORKGROUP option, which doesn't have any shares on it.

 As soon as I switch on my Windows machine I get additional options- 
 including my Windows box and OI box (which then works fine). Since I 
 don't turn my Windows machine on very often, this isn't particularly 
 useful!

 The WDTV Live is in the WORKGROUP workgroup, same as I joined with OI 
 box. I have gone over the steps in your reply several times and the 
 shares are working properly everywhere else, but obviously the 
 publishing of the shares is a little odd.

 Regards,
 John

 It's in /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst -- /boot/grub/menu.lst probably
 should be a symlink there, but isn't.
