[Samba] Can't connect to Samba server from Windows XP box
Sorry for the novice question, but I am trying to set up my Linux box (running Fedora Core 6) with Samba. On my Windows XP box, I can find my Samba Server under my Workgroup, but when I try clicking on it, I get the following error message: "\\localhost 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. You were not connected because a duplicate name exits on the network. Go to System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again." I am running SELinux and have set the following SELinux permissions: "Allow Samba to share nfs directories" "Allow Samba to share users home directories" "Allow Samba to write fines in directories labeled public_content_rw_t" "Disable SELinux protection for nmbd daemon" "Disable SELinux protection for smbd dameon" Below is my smb.conf file: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2007/03/12 18:47:37 [global] workgroup = MYHOME server string = Samba Server username map = /etc/samba/smbusers log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 dns proxy = No ldap ssl = no cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home/tom/share valid users = tom read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 browseable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [photosmart_7900_series] comment = HP PhotoSmart 7960 Foomatic/hpijs path = /var/spool/samba read only = No guest ok = Yes printable = Yes printer name = photosmart_7900_series oplocks = No share modes = No
