Thanks,

I've turned off ipchains and iptables.  Here's the global section of 
/etc/samba/smb.conf:

[global]
         workgroup = WORKGROUP
         server string = Samba Server
         security = SHARE
         encrypt passwords = Yes
         username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
         log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
         max log size = 50
         socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
         os level = 33
         preferred master = True
         local master = No
         domain master = False
         dns proxy = No
         wins support = Yes
         guest account = smbuser
         interfaces = 192.168.230.1/24
         hosts allow = 192.168.230. 127.



I added the interfaces line according to your suggestion.  I'm not sure 
if this is correct.  The Samba server laptop is getting an IP address of 
192.168.230.37.  I still can't start samba.  "ps aux" shows nmbd -D, but 
no smbd.  The strange thing is that the icon for the Samba server 
appears in the Windows 2000 Network Neighborhood.  But when I click on 
the icon, I get an error window saying that the network path was not 
found.  I'm trying to set up this laptop as a Samba server so that I can 
share files with a virtual Windows 2000 machine I set up in VMware on 
this laptop.  This configuration of native Red Hat running Samba with 
guest OS Windows 2000 is something that I've been running for a long 
time on a desktop Red Hat machine.  For some reason, I can't get it 
working on this laptop.  Thanks,



Hidong
