I am trying to set up a samba server with a Window XP Home client. I'm
able to access the share from the Linux server, and can 'see' the samba
server in the Windows client, but when I attempt to access the server
from the XP client, I get a message that says:
\\server is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
resource.
Contact the administrator to find out if you have access permissions.
No service is operating at the endpoint on the remote system
My share name is /samba and permsions are 777.
This command works fine from the server side:
smbclient -L servername -N
This is my (simple) smb.conf file:
[global]
workgroup = workgroupname
netbios name = servername
password server = None
guest ok = yes
guest account = dave
security = SHARE
[samba]
path = /samba
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
I would think that what I'm trying to do would be pretty simple. Has
anyone else run into this?
