BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT GENTOO
Problem description: XenCenter won't allow allow me to use my samba share as a CIFS Storage Repository. It works when I map it is a network drive, but not with XenCenter. As I am a computer janitor I literally cannot figure this out. Additionally, with network drive mapping, it allows me to map it by name rather than IP; eg \\ISOREPO rather than \\123.23.2.1, which I sense could be / is part of the problem. Is there a way to fix this?I am thinking it may also have something to do with the it only resolving through hostname rather than allowing through IP.

Attempted fixes: Changed hostname, restarted, reinstalled Samba Server, used google forever, even went so far as to install a Windows 2012 VM to attempt with that, no dice on that as well. Spent approx four hours googling to find the solution to this problem to no avail.

Recent changes: None

--

Operating system: CentOS 6.6 x64

System specs: CitrixXen VM (not on the same Xen server that I am attempting to use this CIFS share as a storage repository on, though it doesn't work on the same either). General setup, 1 core, 2 gb RAM, 1 TB thin provisioned disk space. As previously stated it works when mapped in Windows.

Location: America

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes to the point that my eyes are near bleeding


Also, below is the smb.conf file:

code:
#=== Global Settings ===#

        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        security = share
        map to guest = bad user
        netbios name = ISOREPO

#=== Share settings ===#

        path=/sharepoint
        browsable = yes
        writable = yes
        guest ok = yes
        read only = no

[Share]

path = /sharepoint
        available = yes
        valid users = @smbgrp share
        guest ok = no
        writable = yes
        browsable = yes
The user is properly configured and in the smbgrp
