[Samba] Samba and Windows XP: "foogroup is not accessible"
Hi. I've got Samba 3.0 on a Linux FC2 machine, and Windows XP on another machine. When trying to access from Windows to Linux through 'fooworkgroup', I get this error message: "foogroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The list of servers for this workgroup is currently not available." The '/etc/samba/smb.conf' on the Linux FC machine is: ------ [global] workgroup = foogroup netbios name = pc01 server string = Samba Server at PC01 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap dns proxy = No hosts allow = 192.168.2. security = user [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [shared] comment = shared path = /home/john/shared read only = No public = Yes [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no public = yes ---------- It worked ok some weeks ago, but I reinstalled Windows XP and now it doesn't. Any suggestion?

Fixed. Just a Windows ZoneAlarm issue...
