box name ?

[bellejt]

I flashed the box and got samba finally working however windows does not connect because it does not find the box with name VUDUO2LIVING anymore. Wher do I set the name ?

Check that the file /etc/samba/smb-user.conf has the line highlighted in red,


## User changes to Samba config go here

## You can overrule the insecure defaults and enforce password
## protected access to shares by uncommenting the following
## line, including the secure settings:

[global]
# include = /etc/samba/distro/smb-secure.conf
disable netbios = No

## You can hide and veto access to certain directories, e.g. mount points of
## other boxes in order to prevent round trips through your LAN
## In Samba 4.x this needs to be configured per share:

[Root]
# veto files = /ThisBox/OtherBox/AnotherBox/YetAnotherBox/
# hide files = /ThisBox/OtherBox/AnotherBox/YetAnotherBox/

[Harddisk]
# veto files = /ThisBox/OtherBox/AnotherBox/YetAnotherBox/
# hide files = /ThisBox/OtherBox/AnotherBox/YetAnotherBox/

thx. I will change that but how do I change the name off my box ? I have several DUO2's in my network.

Edit /etc/hostname and restart.

MANY THX both adjustments did the trick.Needed it because I copy backups on my PC and from one box to another (picons)
