Unable to connect to samba share

[TheOldPresbyope]

Hi
OK i have tried to log into the MOode source screen with userID Guest and no password and this didn't work.
I have used Putty to SSH into the MOode Player and tried to ping my ODROIDXU4 (IP address 192.168.1.8 which i made static on my router) and this had replied fine.

....

I can move data between all PC's Windows & Linux to this share using User jason & Password jason

I have indeed been using (OMV) through its Web-based interface, Perhaps i need to change the settings of the share within OMV to "Public - No" as Kent has suggested?

IMHO : This looks like a DNS error. Even if ping is working, doesn't mean that other could resolve the name. Also try the full qualified name e.g. ODROIDXU4.home.org - whatever your domain is. Or you try ODROIDXU4.local when you also use Zeroconfig in your environmenmt , the SMB might use this a s advertizing.

I agree with @UpsiUps , this looks like a DNS error. 

Perhaps I'm reading too much (or too little) into what you've written.

Did you ping the hostname ODROIDXU4 or the IP address 192.168.1.8? If you ping'ed the IP address, then the test proves little. If you pinged ODROIDXU4, did the response include the correct IP address?

E.g., ping'ing one of my moOde players (moodeLR) from my Linux laptop as user tester:

Code:

tester@T520 ~ $ ping moodelr
PING moodeLR.fios-router.home (192.168.1.184) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.184: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.59 ms

The first line of the response tells me that the local DNS service on my Verizon FiOS router has mapped the hostname moodelr into the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) moodeLR.fios-router.home and that it has found the IP address 192.168.1.184 in its mapping table. The names are case-insensitive, by the way. Also, my router maps all unqualified hostnames into its local domain .fios-router.home; your router may do something different.

The second line of the response tells me that ping was able to establish a round-trip connection between my laptop and the moOde player.

When you ping from your Linux system and from your moOde player do you get the same results, e.g., does ping return the same FQDN and IP address?

Had I mispelled the hostname, moode-lr, say, my local DNS wouldn't recognize it as a member of its local domain and kicked the DNS request up to my ISP's DNS service. It happens that the Verizon DNS knows moode-lr lives at 92.242.140.21!

As for permissions, I did not suggest changing them. My point was that any of the three permission levels available through the OMV interface will work with moOde assuming the correct credentials are used. You haven't yet gotten far enough in the mounting process to know if the credentials are correct.

Regards,
Kent
