Fighting with samba

Ok So I have been using Webmin to set up samba on my Centos 5.5 machine (Domain name in Samba is KISKA).

I set up a test directory /smbtest on the machine and made a share on webmin.

My problem is that when I try to connect to the share on my windows machine (im running windows 7) it gives me a message saying this:

Code:

Windows Cannot Access \\Kiska\smbtest

I have made sure to make the permissions on /smbtest 777 and I have tried alot of other stuff as well.

Here is my Smb.conf

Code:

[global]

        load printers = yes

        cups options = raw

        netbios name = KISKA

        winbind enum users = no

        default = global

        workgroup = NUS

        os level = 20

        winbind enum groups = no

        null passwords = yes

        winbind enable local accounts = no

        winbind trusted domains only = yes

        security = share

        preferred master = no

        passdb backend = tdbsam



[SMBTEST]

        writeable = yes

        delete readonly = yes

        path = /smbtest

        force directory mode = 777

        force create mode = 777

        public = yes

        create mode = 777

        directory mode = 777

Thanks for any help you can give!!!

try adding one line in your samba .conf file

valid user = username

and after that you can add that user using using this command

smbpasswd -a username

and try to access

A first thing to check is whether your samba is running or not.

do a "ps -ef" and check if there are any smbd and nmbd processes

a second step is to check samba's log files

Also, have you checked the iptables on the Centos system: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...a-daemons.html. You'll need ports 137, 139, 445. Possibly 138 as well.
