LinuxQuestions.org - browse linux files from windows.

Got my network up and now am in the process of configuring samba and ran into a problem.
I can view the files from the XP host while using the slackware machine, but not vice versa. What I want to be able to do is browse the slack machines files (my home directory [/home/floods]) while using windows. I've tried to setup my smb.conf and it all *looks* ok to me, but I could be skipping over something. Since I can't paste it all, here are the important parts.

Code:

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

[global]



# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: LINUX2

  workgroup = WORKGROUP



# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field

  server string = SlackBox



# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict

# connections to machines which are on your local network. The

# following example restricts access to two C class networks and

# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see

# the smb.conf man page

  hosts allow = 192.168. 127.

And here are my share definitions.

Code:

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

[homes]

  comment = Home Directories

  browseable = no

  writable = yes



# Un-comment the following and create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons

 [netlogon]

  comment = Network Logon Service

  path = /usr/local/samba/lib/netlogon

  guest ok = yes

  writable = no

  share modes = no



# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to 

# specifically define each individual printer

[printers]

  comment = All Printers

  path = /var/spool/samba

  browseable = no



# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print

  guest ok = no

  writable = no

  printable = yes



# A publicly accessible directory

[public]

  comment = floods' home

  path = /home/floods/

  browseable = yes

  public = yes

  guest ok = yes

  writable = yes

  printable = no

The rest of everything is commented out.

As for samba users, I ran smbpasswd -a floods and added the same password as my windows machine uses. When I open all computers in the workgroup, it sees SlackBox (Floodsbox), but it can't browse any of the files, so best guess is something is wrong with the shares.
