Can't get SMB option to show in any way

I've read some threads about getting SMB to work on SMS, but just simply can't get it to work. I can't even choose SMB as network protocol. I'm using 2.8(rev6) version.

I have the config file SMS.sms, in mc0:/SMS/ as:

Code:

---

192.168.0.103
KOTICOMPUTER
Pleikkari2


Koticomputer

---

And have tried it without blank user/pass lines, and without the last line.
And i have simple file sharing thing disabled, and have tried as enabled too.
And have tried removing all settings files from memory card, no luck.

I'm really clueless...

I think those are your 2 main problems :D
You are VERY close, but the file should be called SMS.smb and saved in mc0:/SMS/
For more see the manual.

Hehe, an unseen typo, and it amplified the failure more that usually file extensions are related to program name :)

Now it works perfectly.

Well, next question would be, can it be configured that i can browse multiple computers on same browser window? It has to be switched on another computer from network settings.

You cannot show files from multiple computers in the same SMS browser window.
BUT you could set up Linux computer on your network with a single shared folder and mount the the shared folders from the other computers on your network in that folder.
You would then access the single share on the Linux server from the PS2 and have access to the shares from multiple computers on the network.

Well, too much trouble then. Now it's fine :)

I have the same problem, i can't chooose SMB protocol ..........

What i remember, you can't choose SMB if network is already started in SMS.
You checked the filename so it's SMS.SMB, and in MC0:/SMS/ folder?
Then, check inside the file, so it has like mine, and HAS those spaces, unless your share is behind a password.
And check can uLE connect to your computer. Easiest to test that, is to put settings right, start the net in uLE, and then go to ftp://yourPS2ip, with ur computer and see what happens.

Be careful with the character casing here.
The correct strings are "SMS.smb" and "mc0:/SMS/".

Another very simple way is to just browse into "host:" in uLE FileBrowser.
(This opens the HOST server.) Then open a command window on the PC and start probing with "ping" commands, like "ping 192.168.0.10", assuming that this IP is the address of the PS2. When all works right you should get ping responses almost immediately (four pings per command entered).
