Can't get samba to work!
![]() |
Eek, sorry it took me so long to respond. Your post seemed to have gotten lost in the forums and I didn't realize you responded 
My XP box has Norton firewall is already set up to accept all 192.168.0.* connections - plus telnet works and my linux box is pingable. So the pcs can definitely see each other on the network.
I am thinking the problem has something to do with permissions on the linux box. (smbpasswd i guess?)

OMG YES !! Samba works perfectly now and I'm a happy camper. I followed the RedHat Samba Configuration page @ redhat.com and then I made sure to enable the smb service manually. Other than that, I don't know what I did right this time that I did wrong all the other times!

If I run smbclient from my linux box, it CAN log in to itself fine. Any ideas where I could get really detailed samba help for a newbie?Also, if anyone here was able to get it to work, can you please post your smb.conf file? Thanx!

In interest of future discussion, here?s an example smb.conf file (very similar to my own), even though Dani already has her Samba working: (Note: I use Samba as my PDC, not a Windows box.)
[global]
