Ok, believe it or not, I've looked through all 209 pages of the Samba-HOWTO_Collection.pdf plus used this mail list and other internet sources, used those recommendations, tried almost every possible iteration on the samba.conf file, looked at logs until nauseated and have concluded that there is no way that Windows ME can connect to a Linux box using Samba. Connecting to the WinME box from Linux works fine. I hope someone can prove me wrong. Please don't send me any sympathy or 'works for me' mail unless you include the exact UNC used on the WinME machine, how to find the server/user names you used, and the configuration files. Remember we are talking WinME only! TIA -- Bob McLaughlin <bobm142@attbi.com>
Are you saying that your samba server doesn't show up in "My Network Places"? Can other machines connect? Can you ping the server from WinME? Can you net view from a command (MSDOS) window? Can you send me a dump of /etc/samba/smb.conf.

Remember we are talking WinME only! TIAOn my network I have three (3) WinME boxes that log onto a Samba-2.2.8 network and mount samba shares (off my SuSE Linux servers) without any problems. Please send me you rsmb.conf file (off list) and I will review it for you. After I get a handle on how you are configuring samba we will need to address: 1. Do you have any firewall settings on your samba server? 2. What are the TCP/IP settings on your MS WinME boxes? - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht@samba.org
Right, but if this guy is editing a file named samba.conf, he can make all the changes he wants... it's not going to change anything.
