SAMBA newbie

westverg · 10-04-2005, 03:57 AM

I have 3 windows XPpro PCs, I just installed FC4 served as a DHCP, file server and print server using samba

After I installed it, and I read some docs, search on this forum for other info.
But after all those tries and setting-up, got no luck, I remove it and istall it again setup the samba again, but now I can see the samba in the window computer but I cant browse it. I want to start all over again

can you help how to setup this, just want have a directory(folder) that can be shred by different users. and a printer that can be shred also by the users.

I'm very frustrated now.

thanks

I followed this guide closely for my file sharing between slackware and XP and it works:
