[Samba] Re: Shares not visible from Win2k

[Jean-Philippe BATTU]

Hello Michael

I had the same problem as you. could you check the following :

1 / do you have setup a firewall on the linux box ?
you may see it if you have a file /etc/sysconfig/iptables
which may disable the correct behavior of eth...

2 / if you have this file, remove it to turn off the firewall, and
restart the nework service

3 / If not, could you tell us if it already worked ? since what it
doesn't work ? did you try with another pc box client ?

Cheers
