[Samba] Re: Permissions problem

[Thabu Pienaar]

I've done some testing....

from the Samba server, 'smbclient -B 192.168.0.255' samba returns a name query failed to find-error.  All names  are in all LMHOSTS and HOSTS files on both Win & Linux machines.  All other smbclient tests worked fine.  Can see shares from Linux on Win, only reverse not (from Win to Linux).  Can also connect to a Wins share from Samba srvr.  It seems that the Linux box doesn't respond to name queries.  How can I fix it?



Here is my smb.conf file...

  Help Please

  When I try to connect from Win XP Pro to my Samba Server, I get this error...

  "Samba is not accessible. You might not have permissiont o use this network resource....." (attached error gif). 
   I have a smbpasswd file created from /etc/passwd, configured exactly like my XP username and password.

  Thanks
