I'm having a huge problem trying to get samba to work. I want to be able to put my Redhat 7.3 box onto my Windows workgroup. My linux box can see my windows pcs fine, but not the other way around. My linux box appears in Network Neighborhood in windows, but everytime I click on it, I get an error saying The Network Path Was Not Found. 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!
