Subject: Problems setting up a shared directory on LINUX using samba
To: samba at lists.samba.org


To samba users,
I installed samba on my LINUX server.
Below is the /etc/samba/smb.cnf file

[global]
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    netbios name = SAMBA
    server string = Samba Server Version %v
       map to guest = Bad User
       log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
       max log size = 50
       socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
       preferred master = No
       local master = No
       dns proxy = No
       security = User

# Share
[share]
       path = /home/kwatanabe/share
       available = yes
       valid users = kwatanabe
       read only = No
       browseable = yes
       public = yes
       writeable = yes
       create mask = 0777
       directory mask = 0777

I restarted samba via the following command:

root# service smb restart

>From my PC I can ping the server without errors.

c:> ping 131.216.46.60

When I tried to map a network drive on my PC, I get the following error:

When I click on Diagnose, I get the following window

If somebody can provide information as to why I cannot map a network drive
on my PC, it would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Watanabe
