Hi I´m Somon, New to all this coming from the IT-side of things and a newbie to Linux OpenWRT, etc. I do have some experience with using SSH to connect to a Linux console and know a few commands, etc. but I am a beginner... I am working on a project with a Teltonika RUT955 that runs the legacy Fir…

...took a while but I can report full success! I thought the comments made about asking Teltonika instead of asking here had something to do that the vendor got money from me buying their product, so consequently I should ask them for help. That may or may also play a role here, but nonetheless I am…

I checked the archive link thanks, but there us no documentation about the items listed here. How can I find out what these packages actually do?

You’d have to google them or search the openwrt wiki. You want a smb server, so you’re looking at samba36-server and it’s dependencies. Probably the luci config package if it has one to make life easier.

Thank you Lantis1008! I did some more homework / digging and wanted to thank you for your patience with me! Came up with the following: I found a forum topic on Samba installation: https://forum.archive.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=66558 In there was a recommendation to this video on the topic: …

Okay, so the OPKG suggested here is installed on the Teltonika device! I tested a moder PC with SMB2 - it works! I tested Windows95 - it doesn´t work :frowning: Did a Wireshark session and could see that it attempts to negotiate SMB2 with the Windows95 OS, which fails. That leads me to my next q…

https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/current/man-html/smb.conf.5.html That's the SMB bible. It probably contains more options than are compatible with your older version... but anyway. You need to make changes to min protocol which would probably be set to SMB2 by default. I think this is at /etc/sam…

I spent quite some time reading "the SMB bible" and it seems to tick all the boxes. Referring to settings related to legacy Win9x systems, IPC$, NTLM, LM, etc. Nice! I will use this reference to try and connect the Windows95 machine. It might take a while for me to fiddle with the settings but I…

[image] Somon: I tested a moder PC with SMB2 - it works! I tested Windows95 - it doesn´t work :frowning: Great read about the history of SMB Sorry about that one, what I meant was: I tested a modern PC running Windows7 with the Samba on the Teltonica box and it worked fine (negotiation SMB…

[image] Somon: Am I on the right track here? No. I'm guessing we're having a language barrier. I: Don't think Windows 95 did SMB2 Don't think SMB1 existed for Linux [image] Somon: Unfortunalely on the Teltonika, I can not find a smb.conf but I am guessing that this is due to the vendo…

[image] lleachii: Don't think SMB1 existed for Linux Sure it did. SMB2 was introduced with Windows Vista in 2006. The Samba project was started in 1991.

Need SMB1 opkg and your help, too!

You may want to verify this. My quick history search leads me to believe this may have been the case. Also as I recall, Windows 95 didn't have SMB2.
