I've searched for many solutions to my problem. Including reading many posts in this specific forum. Ive gotten pretty far, but not as far as I wanted.

All I want is to turn my linux box into a file server. And so far I can see the box on windows network, but when i click on it, it says i do not have enough permissions. However, when I go through IE "\\server-ip" I can then enter the user/pass set from smbpasswd -a adam. I have no idea how to fix this. :S

smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = HOME
[Lappy]
comment = Slackware Laptop
path = /home/adam
read only = no
guest ok = yes

Any suggestions? Thanks alot.

What version of samba are you using>

Version 3.0.10

Try adding this to your global section:
netbios name = slackpc
browseable = yes
browse list = yes


Then restart samba and try from windows again.

I did that, and I still get "Permission Denied" when i try and click on my shared folder. :S
