Hello all. I have recently set up Samba on my Rehdat 9 machine. I have
on my home network 2 computers, one running Redhat 9 (with Samba as
mentioned), and the other running Windows 98 2nd ed. My RH machine can
read and access shared directories on the Win98 machine just fine. My
Windows machine can see my Redhat machine on the smb, but cannot access
the shares. In other words, when I go to "Network Neighborhoods" ->
"Mshome" -> "The_Machine", I see my two shares (homes and test), but
when I try clicking into them, I am unable to access them. I am running
Samba 2.2.7. Here is my smb.conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1)

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2 seconds
(I disabled my software firewall for the time being)
My home network is strung together using a Linksys Router with NAT
firewall. With my current router configuration, and if I boot the
Redhat machine into Windows, I am able to access the Windows shares just
fine.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
