hi,
this seems to me either an firewall or wins problem,
try this options in your smb.conf in global
oslevel = 255
winsproxy = Yes
winssupport = Yes
check if iptables/iptables does not block smb ports
check if samba is running and ports are open
check smb.log
your global section is very small at all, study man smb.conf for more data
in it which might need
what ip/ network has your win machine?
does it match? should be like 10.101.1.1-255, try nmlookup your win
machine....etc
what you mean with switch ? ( autosense should work, but it will give you
win me no ip, therefor you have to setup a dhcp server or give static ip )
your root share seems to me are big security problem and makes no sense
cause most of the files which are
in path / are owned to root and user tom will never be able to change it ,
without change permissons
on the linux server for this files ( chown, chmod ) or tom is like user root
/ group root
after all i think this makes no sense why dont you use winscp or putty to
change this files?
note : for a valid answer to your problem , more info is needed
Best Regards
