Hi, Please forgive such a simple question. I have installed Samba using SWAT to configure it. The shares user are visible on the box hosting the Samba server using "smbclient -L hostname" and I can connect to the share using "smbclient //edev/mlong -U sharename" When browsing network neighborhood on a Win2K machine the Server is visible but the shares are not available. Attempting to map a drive using "net use f: \\hostname\sharename" fails. What have I failed to configure? Environment: Simple network (no PDC) Samba Server 3.0 (SuSE 9.1) Windows Client (Windows 2K Server) tia, Mike
Hi,
I have spent many hours reading the docs and googling but cannot get
windows to see my samba shares. I don't know where else to look. *

Hello Michael I had the same problem as you. could you check the following : 1 / do you have setup a firewall on the linux box ? you may see it if you have a file /etc/sysconfig/iptables which may disable the correct behavior of eth... 2 / if you have this file, remove it to turn off the firewall, and restart the nework service 3 / If not, could you tell us if it already worked ? since what it doesn't work ? did you try with another pc box client ?
