I have a PC running RedHat 7.2 with 2 network interfaces (eth0 and eth1). eth1 uses static IP (192.168.0.1) and is used to connect to internal network. eth0 uses dhcp and get IP address from cable provider. It is also setup with IP Masquerade. I have SAMBA configured on the PC but from win2k is still not able to see the share. My win2k is a standalone machine that doesn't logon to any domain. It can ping the Linux machine as it goes through the Linux machine to access to Internet etc. It is assigned IP 192.168.0.2 smb.conf as follows ===hosts allow = 192.168.0.2 encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24 [slok] comment = slok home path = /home/slok browseable = yes public = yes writable = yes valid users = slok create mode = 0775 directory mode = 0775 [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 # If you want users samba doesn't recognize to be mapped to a guest user ; map to guest = bad user comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 == any suggestions? -------------- next part -------------- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
