WinXP is a pain in my force.
Preamble. Yes, I've Googled and searched this forum. One would think the answer would be easy to find. Alas, it is not.
Installed Slack 9 with Dropline-Gnome and I love it to death. Best desktop Linux experience I've had yet. And yet, I've run into some trouble. Particularly in the networking arena. I've configured smb.conf and added smbd and nmbd to my startup. Testparm looks good, and in fact my WinXP box can see and access my Linux shares. However, the reverse is not true. I cannot access the WinXP shares. I've tried through Nautilus, and in fact can navigate to the WinXP box, but when I select the PC I get an error stating Nautilus does not have a viewer capable of accessing the share. I installed LinNeighborhood and can get to share level, but cannot mount the shares. Now, I could swear that at one point I was able to access the WinXP shares via Nautilus, but no more.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = HOME
server string = File Server
log file = /var/log/samba.%m
max log size = 50
security = share
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8760 SO_SNDBUF=8760
dns proxy = no
[shared]
path = /shared
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
Rather simple config, really.
May the force be with you. Always.
