Hello,
So I just setup samba and swat on one machine here in my office. I can
see the work group that this machine has created from all my windows
based machines and I can see my windows domain from the linux box. This
made me happy since I am a nubie to this Linux stuff. But that's where
the joy stopped. When I double click on the linux box from my windows
box network places I get an error that says "might not have permission
to use this network resource....The network path was not
found.">From the linux box when I double click on one of my windows computers I
get "The folder contents could not be displayed.. Sorry, could not
display all the contents of "Windows Network: 'server name'"
here is my samba config file:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2004/11/18 15:43:55
# Global parameters
