Thanks for the hint, but I just managed to find this on my own while having another look over the script in case I had missed something obvious.

After writing the above I managed to fix the problem. I simply had to replace the interface name in the iptables command to the correct one for my system and now I'm able to ping other machines and DNS is working as well.

This tutorial includes a section describing how to connect (in the example script, you need to change "eth0" to your name if it is different).

@salass00 - @AMIGASYSTEM

Using your startup script and network settings I now have hosted AROS connected to aros0 network and I'm able to ping 192.168.166.1 but any IP address outside of the aros0 network seems to be inaccessible still.

This is enough to test smb2-handler though and it seems to be working fine Smile.

I don't quite understand which connection isn't working properly, but here are the results of my tests:

- VMware+Linux-AROS Hosted = You can connect to shared files on your networked PCs, even on a PC other than the one where AROS is installed.

In the attached screenshot, you can see AROS One connecting to the shared folders of Win7, where VMware+Linux-AROS Hosted is installed, but it also accesses the shared folder of Win8, a clean system where neither Linux nor AROS is installed.

- VMware+Linux-AROS Hosted = To connect, you must use a static IP address of the PC that is sharing; the computer name does not work.


- VMware-AROS Native/Virtualized = Can connect to the shared folder of the host PC (Win7) with either a static IP or the PC name.
VMware-AROS Native/Virtualized = Can connect to the shared folder of a networked PC (Win8) only if you use a static IP.

On a Native AROS PC, if I remember correctly, you should be able to connect with both a static IP and a PC name, but I would need to check to confirm.

I've now added x86_64-aros binary archives to the latest releases of filesysbox and smb2fs.

salass00, if it helps, I am attaching my AROS 64-bit Hosted Linux startup files. I use VMware. I am not a Linux expert, but I believe they also work on other virtual machines.

I am also attaching a screenshot showing how to configure AROS Network Prefs!

Important: SMB2 requires a static IP address to work on AROS Linux Hosted; it does not work with a computer name!

On native VMware and native PCs, however, SMB2 works perfectly even with a PC name.

Hmm, that's very weird. All I can recommend right now is to try either VMWARE or QEMU on your machine. AROS works equally good in all 3 VMs types.

@deadwood

I tried with your settings (I had to reduce the memory a little and change the name of the serial log file) but it still stops with the same serial output.

While I do have a working hosted AROS install I don't have a working network in it, which means I won't be able to test smb2-handler with it. I have previously attempted to get a working network connection with hosted AROS using guides on the internet, but with no success.

@AMIGASYSTEM

I checked the BIOS settings and while I couldn't find any mention of VT-x or AMD-V I did find a setting for "Virtualization Technology" which was grayed out but listed as enabled. The CPU is an Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 @ 2.13 GHz.

salass00, if you have the opportunity to install VMware Player, it will be much easier. With VMware, you will encounter no difficulties and enjoy better usability.

Regarding VirtualBox, you may need to enable VT-x or AMD-V in the BIOS.

Hmm, the bootstrap looks ok. Attached is a config I use - plase try it on your VM.

Alternativelly since you mentioned you already have a cross-compiler, then probably you also have AROS hosted built - you can use that for testing as well. (https://arosnews.github.io/how-to-cross-compile-aros-hosted-wsl/)

Also try adding debug=serial to grub command line ('e', add and then CTRL+x). This should show some output (and and send the output to COM port if you have it configured in your VM) that can help us discover the issue. I do most of development and testing in VirtualBox 7.1.4.

No, I did select "Other/Unknown (64-bit)".

Hmm, maybe you selected “Other/Other unknown” instead of “Other/Other unknown (64-bit)” during installation in VBox?

Apparently some minor code changes I made just before release broke the i386-aros build of FbxDismount so I replaced the i386-aros archive yesterday evening with one containing a working FbxDismount command (it is compiled from the same code but with __startup attribute added to the _start() function).

OK, thank you, now ‘FbxDismount’ 64bit works fine, dismounting is immediate!

I tried mounting and dismounting and everything went well!

Mount SMB2:

Thanks salass00, ‘filesysbox.library’ version 54.8 works fine, but ‘FbxDismount’ on AROS crashes (Guru).

I compiled 64-bit filesysbox version 54.8, and even with 64-bit AROS, ‘filesysbox.library’ works fine, but ‘FbxDismount’ crashes (Guru).
