[Samba] will someone help me please

[Dustin Rue]

Sounds like a networking problem and I'll attack it as such.

Can you ping the Samba server from windows?  How about from Windows to
the Samba server?  You of course must be able to talk to the Samba
server and the Samba server must be able to talk to the Windows machine.


If you can ping both ways then make sure the Samba server is allowed to
talk to the subnet the windows computer is on. (Hosts allow)

If that still doesn't work make sure the windows machine is in
/etc/hosts.

If it still doesn't work, ask again.

Is the SMBD and NMBD service running on the server?

> I have not gotten any help what-so-ever and would really like to get
some...sometime soon! Thank you! As i stated before...I want someone to
walk me through setting up windows to access my samba server which is
at a remote location. the samba version on the remote server is 2.2.8a
and the version of windows im currently using is windows 2000
professional. every time I try to connect to by doing \\domain\test\
(replacing domain with my domain name) or \\ip.address\test\ (replacing
ip.address with the IP to the machine) I get the error "network path
not found". that is the problem that im having and im sure someone out
there had this same problem before. All I want is a little help. Thats
all....not much to it...because im sure there is nothing wrong on my
server side. (My ISP as well as Tech Support got through pretty well.)
I appreciate it if someone replies or emails me directly. Thanks alot!
