[Samba] Cannot see the samba shares with Windows XP professional
Hello,
 
My name is Chris and I'm new with Samba.  Currently, the problem I'm
having
is that I cannot see my samba shares from my Windows XP Professional
workstation.  Below is a copy of my smb.conf file:
 
#======================= Global Settings
====================================
[global]
  workgroup = na.dsmain.com
  server string = Samba Server
  load printers = yes
  printing = aix
  guest account = nobody
  log file = /var/samba/log/log.%m
  max log size = 50
  security = share
  encrypt passwords = no
  update encrypted = yes
  socket options = TCP_NODELAY
  dns proxy = no
 
#============================ Share Definitions
=============================
[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writable = yes
 
 [printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /tmp
   browseable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   printable = yes
 
 [tmp]
   comment = Temporary file space
   path = /tmp
   read only = no
   public = yes
 
# ICIS Private Home directory set up
# Aaron
[Aaron]
   comment = Aaron's Directory
   path = /home/afilo
   valid users = afilo
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no
 
# Chris
[Chris]
   comment = Chris's Directory
   path = /home/ccejka
   valid users = ccejka
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no
#============================ End =============================
 
 
The following is the results of the command: smbclient -L rafiki -U%
 
added interface ip=166.34.206.78 bcast=166.34.207.255 nmask=255.255.252.0

        Chris          Disk      Chris's Directory
        IPC$           IPC       IPC Service (Samba Server)
        smoky          Printer
 
        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
        COSNS01              Samba Server
        DRACO                Samba Server
        RAFIKI               Samba Server
        TIMON                Samba Server
 
        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        MYGROUP              TIMON
 
Host: rafiki, User: ccejka
 
 
Any help would certainly be appreciated!
