hello....

running slack 10 and samba 3.0.4...smb shares will not mount....

and if i try 'smb://computer name', in konqueror....the shares will show up, but when i try to open one...it gives me an error....it says, "the file or folder smb://computer name/xxx does not exist." ..... i run slackware 9.1 and samba 2.2.8a on a file sever....and it is working fine(i can mount it's SMB shares just fine)....not sure....not sure what the deal is.....been workin on it since i got slack 10 installed.....hrmmmm...

here is my smb.conf to check out......thanks for the help....

Try this smb.conf file , I reworked it and stripped out all of the clutter so you can see what are the actual statements.

You haven't put in a net bios name , printer type name , a directory path name , and the directory path name in [windesktop] is too long and cumbersome and may cause problems , rename the directory to something more simple and discriptive.
Also have you set the directory permissions to match the directory permissions in the smb.conf file.
You will also have to create user accounts for each machine that accesses the share directories.
