I have spent the whole day trying to make my network work, but I have
not been able to do it.
The situation is:
- a dell inspiron 8000 box with windows XP
- a Packard Bell chroma box with red hat 9.0 acting as a samba server
I have installed the RPM for the 3.0 version that I have found on
samba.org
I have tried to follow the directions given in the O'reilly book
available at the documentation section at the same site.
The problem is that I cannot access from windows the share I have
created in the server. Although, I can "see" the server from windows
"Other computers in my workgroup", I can not connect to it. I am able
to communicate bidirectionally though (ping) without any problem.
My current configuration file smb.cnof:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2003/08/26 18:06:21
# Global parameters
[global]

I am a little desperate, any help would be a great favour.
