[Bloat] Sharing Windows Files from wired to wireless (3.7.5-2)

[Bloat] Sharing Windows Files from wired to wireless (3.7.5-2)

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I just installed the latest release (3.7.5-2) on a new router
(WNDR3800).  All seems to be working fine except for Windows
networking.

I ran across this note:

http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/wiki/Sharing_Windows_Files_from_wired_to_wireless

Are these instructions still current?  If not, how do I configure
Windows networking for release 3.7.5-2?  We have three Windows 7
machines (two wired, one wireless) and two Windows XP machines (both
wireless).  I need sharing to work between Windows 7 (wired) and
Windows XP (wireless), as well as between Windows 7 (wired) and
Windows 7 (wireless).

Thanks - Jim

Nice to hear from you again!

That bitrotted pretty significantly. I just updated it to be current,
so please reload.

samba 3.6.11 is available and can be installed. I am running mostly
cerowrt-3.8.13-7+ systems at the moment, so can't utterly confirm that
cerowrt-3.7.x works, but I just did a quick install with the updated
instructions and can indeed mount exported local directories.

I do have a mac available, I'll see what that can do in terms of browsing.

It would be my hope that the remaining instructions would work.

It says that /etc/config/samba should have two sections, but I have
only "config samba".  I added the 2nd section (sambashare) and
followed the rest.

On the wired Windows machine.  I got this error:

f:\> netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="File and Printer
Sharing" new enable=Yes remoteip=172.30.4
2.0/24

"Only the enable parameter can be used to update rules specified by a group."

I got the same thing on the wireless Windows 7 machine.  I still can't
see shared folders.  NetBIOS over TCP is enabled on both.

Your network is on the default 172.30.42.X ips?

No clue

Can you see the shared folder you setup on the cero box?

I note this level of debugging is better done with a google hangout or chat.

Resending this to the list as plain-text-only to hopefully avoid the
"no numeric URL" bounce.

It sound like you need to drop the "remoteip" part of that command and
use it with these four extras from
http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/257798-windows-7-ipsec-vpn-client-firewall-configuration.html#post2136247
instead:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="File and Printer Sharing
(NB-Session-In)" new remoteip=172.30.42.0/24,LocalSubnet
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="File and Printer Sharing
(NB-Name-In)" new remoteip=172.30.42.0/24,LocalSubnet
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="File and Printer Sharing
(NB-Datagram-In)" new remoteip=172.30.42.0/24,LocalSubnet
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="File and Printer Sharing
(Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)" new remoteip=172.30.42.0/24,LocalSubnet

Other things to check:

- If you're using Windows 7, you may well want/need to add "reset on
zero vc = no" to /etc/smb.conf.template too, since that seems to
prevent errors running "net view".
- For me at least, the "interfaces=|INTERFACES|" line seems to get
expanded as loopback only.  You may need to replace this with
"interfaces = 127.0.0.1/8 lo lo 172.30.42.1/27 172.30.42.65/27
172.30.42.97/27" or  interfaces = 127.0.0.1/8 lo lo se00 sw00 sw10" to
work around this.

For reference, my current smb.conf.template is as follows, and Windows
7 browsing works even in peer-peer (WINS-only) mode:

[global]
        netbios name = |NAME|
        display charset = |CHARSET|
#       interfaces = |INTERFACES|
        interfaces = 127.0.0.1/8 lo lo 172.30.42.1/27 172.30.42.65/27
172.30.42.97/27
        server string = |DESCRIPTION|
        unix charset = |CHARSET|
        workgroup = |WORKGROUP|
        browseable = yes
        deadtime = 30
        domain master = yes
        encrypt passwords = true
        enable core files = no
        guest account = nobody
        guest ok = yes
        invalid users = root
        local master = yes
        load printers = no
        map to guest = Bad User
        max protocol = SMB2
        min receivefile size = 16384
        null passwords = yes
        obey pam restrictions = yes
        os level = 255
        reset on zero vc = no
        passdb backend = smbpasswd
        preferred master = yes
        printable = no
        security = user
        smb encrypt = disabled
        smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
        syslog = 2
        use sendfile = yes
        wins support = yes
        writeable = yes
