Simple Samba Question


Hi Guys,

I've been scratching my head trying to figure this out, but I'm sure someone here knows what the prob is and can save me a headache.

I've setup a system with a dev apache server running and I want to use samba to access the directories directly from my Win2000 system.

Now I've setup Samba 2.2.0 on the RH7.1 test system.
I've setup a SHARE area called public with guest access as nobody.
I've started all the samba services needed and they are running on the correct interfaces and ports according to netstat.

Now my NT4.0 system connects to the server and let me do what I want in the public area.
But when I try the same thing on my Win2000 system it says path not found or if I search for the computer it can't see the system.

Now I'm guessing it's a difference in 2000 that I've over looked.
"both systems are on the same subnet as the RH7.1 system and network connectivity is fine."

Any ideas on what to check to get this to work for 2000.
Here's a copy of my smb.conf file
-----
[global]
server string = Linuxdev45
workgroup = DEV
security = SHARE
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
remote announce = 192.168.43.1
name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast

[public]
comment = Public
path = /home/public
read only = No
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
guest ok = Yes


Thanks,
/Raz

I don't know the problem but want to give you a warning about using Samba to edit your apache files.

If you use Samba to edit CGI/Perl files they will no longer work because of the file system differences. You'll get prematurely ended header errors in Apache. It drove me crazy for several days. For some reason fixed html seems to be OK but compilables error.

I use UltraEdit (idmcomp.com) on my win32 PC's which detects and auto-converts unix files using FTP. It's the best text editor I've seen.

Thanks for the warning Tom.
I'll make sure CGI files are FTP'ed then.

Cheers,
Raz
