= Troubleshooting = Make sure you are on the latest stable version of smbclient first. Check your distro's package repos and cross-reference that with the version from [https://github.com/samba-team/samba/releases] (do not worry about -rc versions). If your distro does not have the latest version in their package repos, download and use the executable from here: [https://github.com/samba-team/samba/releases]. (In the link, don't look for rc releases, just the samba-... ones) === Testparm Error === If you get a message saying <code>/usr/bin/smbclient: Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it</code>, run <code>sudo touch /etc/samba/smb.conf</code> in a terminal to create an empty SMB configuration. Usually this is not needed, but sometimes smbclient is finicky. Then try connecting to DFS with smbclient again. === No password prompt comes up === ==== Fix 1 ==== '''Make sure to include <code>-U</code>''' in your smbclient command. ==== Fix 2 ==== Try typing in: * <code>/usr/bin/smbclient //rose-hulman.edu/DFS -U ROSE-HULMAN\\[Your RHIT network user name]</code> (or ROSE-HULMAN/[Your RHIT network user name]) This is because ROSE-HULMAN is the "domain" on Windows computers that connects to the internal network. === smb: \> prompt still not showing up === What you can also do is try without the <code>/dfs</code>. Open a terminal and type the following (substitute ROSE-USERNAME with your username): <code>smbclient //rose-hulman.edu/ -U ROSE-USERNAME@rose-hulman.edu</code> then press ENTER. Once you see <code>smb: \></code>, you can now try to get to the dfs folder using <code>cd dfs</code>. Then, if you type <code>ls</code>, a bunch of folders (including Software) should show up. If that doesn't work, your connection to the campus network may be unreliable. Disconnect and reconnect from the VPN or eduroam if on campus. === NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_RESET when downloading files === Example error message: <nowiki>smb: \Software\Linux_MacOSX_Apps\Maple\Maple 2019\> getting file \Software\Linux_MacOSX_Apps\Maple\Maple 2019\Maple2019.0LinuxX64Installer.run of size 1875465688 as /tmp/Maple2019.0LinuxX64Installer.run SMBecho failed (NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_RESET). The connection is disconnected now</nowiki> Your VPN or eduroam connection is unreliable. Make sure you're using <code>openconnect</code> as root in a terminal and not in KDE or GNOME's "Networks" panel (or anything else that uses NetworkManager). I am not aware of other fixes. As far as I know, you can also access the DFS via the web after logging in at https://sslvpn.rose-hulman.edu. This option might have been removed around March 2020 though...
