Hello,

 

My name is Chris and I'm new with Samba.  Currently, the problem I'm having
is that I cannot see my samba shares from my Windows XP Professional
workstation.  Below is a copy of my smb.conf file:

 

#======================= Global Settings
=====================================

[global]

  workgroup = na.dsmain.com

  server string = Samba Server

  load printers = yes

  printing = aix

  guest account = nobody

  log file = /var/samba/log/log.%m

  max log size = 50

  security = share

  encrypt passwords = no

  update encrypted = yes

  socket options = TCP_NODELAY

  dns proxy = no

 

#============================ Share Definitions
==============================

[homes]

   comment = Home Directories

   browseable = no

   writable = yes

 

 [printers]

   comment = All Printers

   path = /tmp

   browseable = yes

   guest ok = yes

   writable = no

   printable = yes

 

 [tmp]

   comment = Temporary file space

   path = /tmp

   read only = no

   public = yes

 

# ICIS Private Home directory set up

# Aaron

[Aaron]

   comment = Aaron's Directory

   path = /home/afilo

   valid users = afilo

   public = no

   writable = yes

   printable = no

 

# Chris

[Chris]

   comment = Chris's Directory

   path = /home/ccejka

   valid users = ccejka

   public = no

   writable = yes

   printable = no

#============================ End ==============================

 

 

The following is the results of the command: smbclient -L rafiki -U%

 

added interface ip=166.34.206.78 bcast=166.34.207.255 nmask=255.255.252.0

        smoky          Printer

 

        Server               Comment

        ---------            -------

        COSNS01              Samba Server

        DRACO                Samba Server

        RAFIKI               Samba Server

        TIMON                Samba Server

 

        Workgroup            Master

        ---------            -------

        MYGROUP              TIMON

 

Host: rafiki, User: ccejka

 

 

Any help would certainly be appreciated!
