Trouble getting a connection with Samba and WinXP

Zombfyed · 12-16-2002, 03:31 PM

Well I really don't know where to begin cause I am quite new to Linux.

I'm running Webmin on Linux Red Hat 8.0 Pro. I've been setting up SMB to allow connections from my WinXP boxes. When trying to connect all I get is a "Network Path was not found." err.

I was wondering if anyone has a walk through for setting this up I can look at.

So you see the box in network neighborhood?

that means you are almost there.

samba.org has documents for setting up samba

it sounds like you need to add users to smbpasswd

smbadduser username:username

Yes I see it in my network neighborhood and I am able to mount a drive on my linux box from a windows box. Hooray for me!

I'll hit up Samba.org to see what they have to say.

Thanks.
