I must be missing something here. I am trying to set up a Samba share
called Samba on \\Spear (as my win2k sees it). However, I intermittently
get the following errors when I try to access:
SAMBA Not Accessible. The list of servers for this workgroup is not
currently available
-or-
\\Spear not accessible. The network path was not found
I remember getting welcomed to the SAMBA workgroup, and under the little
comments section in the win2k network neighbood, I could see that it was
reading the "Server Comments", so I know it is seeing the NETBIOS
information. I can ping the system from the win2k box via ip address, but
not system name. Both systems are under home.net domain. I am using the
samba that came with Redhat 9. I think it is 2.2.8, definitely not RC3.
Attached is the smb.conf file trimmed of most of the comments. It was
created by using webmin.
If anyone can give some direction, I would appreciate it. I'm a bit dense
the first couple of times working with something new to me. I also need to
adapt this to sharing to a Win2k3 server that is on a Domain (at another
job). It can see the Workgroup and system, but can't authenticate.
Thanks!
Ross
