The question may seem obvious, but how do I configure the enabled firewall to allow the Samba access?
|
menu->System->Configuration->Configure Your Computer then click Security->"Setup a personal firewall..." and check 'Samba'. See:
http://doc.mandrivalinux.com/Mandrak...yfirewall.html
Alternately you can edit the shorewall config files directly. Open the file /etc/shorewall/rules (menu->Run Command->'kdesu kwrite' will give you a text editor running as root) and add
Code:
#SAMBA server rules (ie. let this machine share files to others)
AllowSMB fw loc
AllowSMB loc fw
above the line that says 'LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE'. Now go into menu->System->Configuration->Configure Your Computer and System->Services and restart the shorewall service.
