Nice simple public share smb.conf example file that I use:

Code:

# New Samba Config File

# Global Parameters

[global]

workgroup = NAME_OF_YOUR_WORKGROUP
netbios name = NAME_OF_THIS_COMPUTER
encrypt passwords = yes
log level = 3
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/samba.log
wins support = yes

# Shared Folder Details

[NAME_OF_SHARE]
path = /path_to_share
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
public = yes

Try that, hope it helps someone

Also check your owner and group permissions. That was the bur in my blanket once.

Thanks for reply..

My smb.conf has no prob....coz i can access everything from Win to Linux.....Only prob is when i try to access from Linux to win..... when i click on folder it is asking for username and password.... and when i provide the username and password for the user that i have created using smbpasswd, which is same as the one given in windows share permission it says unexpected error and does not allow me to browse in......Iam logged in as a root......

I still cant figure out where is the prob..

Thanks and Regards
