Hello,
I've been trying to get my Windows NT computer to access directories and
printing from a Debian 3.0 host running Samba 2.2.3. The NT computer
recognises my host computer named minikerr, however I always receive the
error message "the network path was not found." I have authentication
enabled in my smb.conf file and have created smbpasswd for each user. If
anyone would be willing to help I would be greatly appreciative!
Here is a copy of my smb.conf file if it would help :-)
John

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which
# are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentary and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm" to check that you have not many any basic syntactic
# errors.

# Samba is still experimental.
; syslog only = no

# elections. The default value should be reasonable
