could you tell us the problem a bit more, I dont seem to understand the exact problem. You have shown the config files, but not the exact problem.

I can't see my daughter's winnt computer in my OpenSUSE local network, nor can she see my linux computer in her Network Neighborhood. I was wondering if there was something not set up right in smb.conf.

I suggest that you check that both machines are set to TUX-NET, and that the windows machine is set up to share at least one drive / folder /directory (the $C or C$ administrative share does not cut it!!!),

then I suggest that (in your [global] settings you add: security = user

then change the os level = 2 to os level = 65 (this is because winXP insists on being the master with an unadjustable setting of 60, and thus you want your samba server to be the boss!!!)

change: preferred master = from No to Yes

change: local master = No to Yes

change: domain master = No to Yes

then you might try # commenting out the winbind uid and gid lines as I don't know what they do!

Let me know how you progress. If necessary I will copy my smb.conf over to you as I have a similar set-up see my sig.

NB: I have to disable my SuseFirewall to be able to grab files from my windows PC's and they are all FAT32 (rather than NTFS) because that way I can write to them.

Hope that this helps
Cheers
Richard

I have shared the "C" drive as my daughter's username chiara. I also changed her OS to Windows 98 so she can have USB support. I made the changes to samba that you suggested, although I couldn't chage the winbind uid and gid lines with SWAT. I was wondering how do I create a samba mount point .
