Question: I installed and configured samba share on Ubuntu, now from a windows machine i can see the shared folders but i can not access them, how i can resolve this?

Answer:

Open terminal and run the following command to edit samba config file

sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Look for these lines Then change

wins support = no
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast

and change them to look something like this:

wins support = yes
name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast

Now restart  samba

sudo service smbd restart

And is done.

    Thanks for the article! Maybe a stupid question, but should’nt the # and ; be removed in the changed smb.conf file?

Did you add the IP range(Not ip address) in your cacti.conf file? If yes, check your apache log files. You may find the errors. Good luck.

I have been searching for a solution to that problem too but with videos. I can’t see anyway to make VLC do this. And nobody can tell me how.
However, I did find a media player called Movist that does it. I will never understand why VLC, the best in my opinion, does not design this feature into their player.

it can be used to talk or chat through the internet,

it is using strong encryption.

but for example TOR is using some obfuscation because some countrys try to block all outgoing connections which can not be scanned with DPI

And the TOR Project is facing an arms race in obfuscation and encryption detection.
