Hi all folks
I encountered Samba and WinME connection problem both boxes are
connected with a crossover cable. Ping both boxes showed
connected/connecting
Name of WinME = IWILL
share folder = Shared
IP address = 192.168.0.1
2 NICs
eth0 IP add = 192.168.0.1 connected to Samba server
eth1 dynamic IP for broadband connection
Name of Samba server = M40G
OS = RH8.0
IP address = 192.168.0.2
share folder = /test
2 NICs
-connected to WinME
-connected to broadband dynamic IP
Workgroup = SEC
/etc/Samba/smb.conf (BASIC)
[global]
workgroup = SEC
guest account = IWILL
encrypt passwords = Yes
hosts allow = yes
security = share
[test]
comment = test share
path = /test

/test
ls -l
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Oct 17 15:56 test
ipchains and iptables stop
WinME box
========Both IWILL and M40G
found under the group SEC on Windows Exploror
- clicking M40G said "shared folder not found
- search for computer could not find Samba server
(tested with 192.168.0.2 and M40G)
