SMB, domain name, WTF?

[jmaister]

cant go FTP route, it was workin on the old machine, I tried and tried to no avail.

next step is to find if the router has settings on it that will block the new one.

so far

Login not needed
NAS permission is set to public(yeh, got in)
user has a workgroup, so I turned netbuis on and match the work group name.

nothing..

There is a restriction somewhere.

Login not needed

I've never managed to get a Kyocera to scan to SMB without a login (for a public or anonymous share), but that was in the KM-1820 days when it didn't even store passwords. Their recommendation was to make a user named "a" with a password of "a"

I stayed late today to have some R&D time. Since this issue isnt solved I decide to do some very simple test.

I couldnt even SMB to 2 PC's in the office. It was suppose to be the simplest thing, I get error 1102's.

This client has a linksys old style router, and we have a linksys E series, couldnt do another on a DSL Siemans router. Did google, and searched Microsoft security bulletin, digged samba's characteristics and found its alias as CIFS. No help...

SMB uses port 139 and 445, and it seems that they're blocked.

any thoughts on this?

What MFP are you using before we go any deeper ? I'd hook up a laptop direct & try to scan.

machine in question that I need it to work, TA300i

Machine tested today attached to router, TA300ci & KM5050.

edit: i forgot to try direct scan, will try first chance I get.

[jmaister]

I'm gonna guess this is a LAN issue, as we dont have crazy amount of calls yet saying theirs smb not working.

anything I can check on my side? Its not permission, not path.

damn, its weekend... need to stop working lol

[tmaged]

If they're using domain log in's, the domain name needs to be in caps in the user authentication. ex. COMPANY\joe.smith
Make sure the folder is shared and everyone has rights to write to that drive. Create a user for the copier.
You might try calling the hotline & getting them to log in & take a look.

[jmaister]

for some very odd reason...

I need a user name for scanning now... password not needed.

didnt need it before..


SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

SMB cant be anonymous(sometimes..), but since when?

[tmaged]

It's been that way since at least the falcon III. We haven't been a Kyo dealer any longer than that. You have to use the host name in the username field if there is not a login for the PC.

Sorry. I knew that. Must have valid login, must have valid password (not blank). =^..^=

Nah, you don't need a password. That field can be blank, but the username cannot. If there is no user login for the PC, you have to copy the host name into the login field. The PC doen't need/use it, but the MFP HAS to have it for some unknown reason.

[jmaister]

yeh, no password here. What I dont understand is how the machine was able to use anonymous login.

I checked the send log, the scanning was fine til the day we pull the plug.


I'll always use username now lol.

The username for the NAS that worked, wasnt 'admin', wasnt host name. it was a permission type.



thx gents.

So essentially here if all the permissions are set up for EVERYONE or Anonymous then all the Kyoceras need for SMB scanning is a valid username? or just any username? I havent tried doing this yet just curious to the anonymous SMB way of things

[tmaged]

You are correct. It's a machine thing requiring the username field to be required. I assume it'll work with anything, although I've never tried it that way. I always use the host name there if there is no logon.

[jmaister]

wireshark is a good tool, a wise man told me to use it.

the packet description says "access denied", with anonymous login. That's how I figure that it was permssion...oh silly me
