all i have done since i got up is google samba read about how to use it normally in language above my linux cpabilitie
now one thing i came across said you can make samba just allow certain hosts the example i believe was
host = 192.168.1.0/22 172.168.2.0/22
and there was a deny host line of 0.0.0.0/0 but cant renember that
so what i`d like to do if possible ;
1 remove the password entirely i`m happy that anyone on my network can access my windows shares so why not my linux ones
2 to make it a bit securer then i`d like to use the the host option and allow a range between 192.168.1.50 - to 192.168.1.200
shows how secure windows(edit i ment linux) is i guess as i cant even access my own filesacross the network
ok i admit defeat and throw my self at your merci i cant find info to help me im gonna try to remove samba completely then reinstall it (the standard windows user approach)
i cant think of anything else! HELP!!!
it would apear deleting samba is not an option
ummm i may of typed this before but hell i`ll type it again HEEEEELP! please
i`ve posted for help on samba`s irc thing not sure i have done it right or not irc seems to be a chat programme but i posted the prob and a link to this page but i dont think it even posted right
this is gonna be the death of me im sure of it i just dont understand whats wrong
