To follow is my Samba.conf file. My desire is to allow my one Windows 98SE machine to write and/or store files to "public2" folder on my Samba server. My Win98SE machine "sees" the server through "neighborhood network" and shows the "public2" folder. When you double click the folder, Samba requests a password for IPC$. All passwords fail. What do I have set incorrectly? ---------------------------------------------------- # Samba config file created using SWAT # from Server101d.wooden.com (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2002/07/16 11:41:32 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = HOME netbios name = WOODENSRVR101 server string = Samba on Server101d security = SHARE null passwords = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes pam password change = Yes passwd program passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* unix password sync = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No wins support = Yes printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [public2] comment = Public Number 2 path = /public2 read only = No guest ok = Yes volume = /public2 -------------------------------------------------- I would like to get the files to read and write, back and forth before I tackle things like printers and other. Please help.
