Need help configuring samba server
 

Hi! Need help configuring samba server. Linux is SuSE 9.1, win is winXP. Both connected via crossover cable, no hub.

SuSE can see win shares, browse dirs and upload/download files. Win can't see SuSE, dirs or anything.

smb.conf goes below. I have samba-3.0.4-1.12, and libsmbclient-3.0.4-1.12, webmin-1.130-42

Do you guys see anything wrong in this file?

Hi,
i think there are a couple of things to work on

first on the xp box under advanced TCP/IP settings
on the WINS tab
make yourself a file called lmhosts
it's like /etc/hosts in linux
the syntax is like this
127.16.1.1 box1
127.16.1.2 box2
like that
check enable LMHOST lookup
and feed in your lmhost file with "import LMHOST" button
also sellect "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP"
and set the WINS server as the Linux box
now in the global section of smb.conf
put
wins support = true
encrypt passwords = yes
for me i use the same username on both machines
and run the command
smbpasswd -a username
to set it up

to test the password settup use
(on the samba machine)
smbclient '//servername/homes' -U username
it will ask for password
if the pasword works it goes to
smb: \>
q to quit
and you know the login works

the syntax is like this
127.16.1.1 box1
127.16.1.2 box2
like that

box1 and box2 are the names of the computers?
