You should add wins here, since you have defined the wins server
parameter below.

    Elijah>         domain master = no
    Elijah>         dns proxy = no
    Elijah>         os level = 29
    Elijah>         smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
    Elijah>         security = server
    Elijah>         encrypt passwords = True
    Elijah>         log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
    Elijah>         bind interfaces only = True
    Elijah>         read raw = no
    Elijah>         interfaces = eth0 192.168.11.30

Covered this line in my previous post.

    Elijah>         debug level = 1

    Elijah>         read raw = no
    Elijah>         max log size = 50
    Elijah>         socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
    Elijah>         dns proxy = No
    Elijah>         wins server = 192.168.X.X
    Elijah>         hosts allow = 192.168.X.X-192.168.X.X

The format of this line is like this:

hosts allow = 192.168.X.  # all of this subnet, (192.168.X. is class C)

Have you created an account on the Unix box for the user who is trying
to access the machine from the Windows box?  It is a requirement that
every entry in smbpasswd have a corresponding entry in /etc/passwd,
since Samba uses the UID/GID in the filesystem to determine access
rights to files.

Paul.
