All, I am trying to setup samba on my linux platform (RedHat 7.1). I have the smb/mnbd service running. But when I go to the Windows box and try to map a drive to my machine, I get the error massage saying "Network Path not found......" I can ping the linux machine from my windows machine and vice-versa. My question is: what else do I have to do to have samba running? Is there any special modification that has to be done on the smb.conf? If so, what do I need to change? I ran the testparm and it seems to be running fine... Can anyone help me? I really need to have this done ASAP. Thanks Flavio Macedo
Flavio, Do you have the share in your smb.conf? You might want to attach your smb.conf so we can see what you have. Below is an example: #TEST [TEST] writable = yes browseable = yes path = /home/test valid users = user1,uer2 Hope this helps.

Add the samba host/ip info to your hosts & lmhosts files on your PCs.

Do you have a firewall running? Make sure the proper ports are open (137, 138 and 139 I think) Macedo, Flavio A wrote: >All, > >I am trying to setup samba on my linux platform (RedHat 7.1).

No expert here but things to try: 1. Go through DIAGNOSIS.txt in /docs/textdocs 2. Make sure your RH firewall is not blocking ports 137 and/or 139. This is a common problem. 3. Perhaps putting your linux server into lmhosts might help.
