[Samba] Unable to see shares on Samba server from Windows XP home machine
I am trying to set up a samba server with a Window XP Home client. I'm able to access the share from the Linux server, and can 'see' the samba server in the Windows client, but when I attempt to access the server from the XP client, I get a message that says: \\server is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this resource. Contact the administrator to find out if you have access permissions. No service is operating at the endpoint on the remote system My share name is /samba and permsions are 777. This command works fine from the server side: smbclient -L servername -N This is my (simple) smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = workgroupname netbios name = servername password server = None guest ok = yes guest account = dave security = SHARE [samba] path = /samba writeable = yes guest ok = yes I would think that what I'm trying to do would be pretty simple. Has anyone else run into this?
