I cannot seem to get it to listen to any ports on my server. My configeration is as bellow: [global] workgroup = mygroup server string = Control Center interfaces = eth0 null passwords = Yes pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*Password* %n\n *Re-enter*new*password*%n\n *Password*changed* username map = /etc/samba/smbusers unix password sync = Yes log level = 1 syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/%m max log size = 50 smb ports = 139 time server = Yes keepalive = 20 domain logons = No preferred master = No domain master = No [homes] browseable = no writeable = yes valid users = %S invalid users = @nobody user = %S Wha ti am trying to do is get it for Remote Storage. This specific server is in a Data Center in flordia. Anyways thats besides the point, i cannot seem to get it to lsten to 139 (default port). it seems like it doesnt do nothing, because i cannot connect to it what so ever. I have no firewalls running either. please help - jeff
