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
