I'm having trouble connecting my windows 7 machine to my Samba server that i set up on a FreeBSD VM. The FreeBSD version is 7.2 and the samba version is 3. I followed the directions here http://www.mrp3.com/windows-to-unix-samba.html to set it up as a domain controller exactly.. except for adding the samba_dns_update script because i didn't find it being asked for in the config file. The name of my Windows computer is Pushkin-PC so like it says in the script I added it using adduser and put it under the machines group. I added it as Pushkin-PC$ though.. as the site showed. then I did smbpasswd -a Pushkin-PC$ which also made me make a password. Then the script said to finalize it by doing the command smbpasswd -m Pushkin-PC$ .. but when I executed that command i got the errors: Failed to set password for user Pushkin-PC$. Failed to modify password entry for user Pushkin-PC$. I couldn't figure out why... Here's my config file.. all the uncommented parts: server string = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server security = user hosts allow = 192.168.1 192.168.2 127. load printers = yes printing = cups log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 passdb backend = tdbsam include = /usr/local/etc/smb.conf.%m local master = yes os level = 33 domain master = yes preferred master = auto domain logons = yes logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U wins support = yes dns proxy = no add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smb-add-user %u add group script = /usr/local/sbin/smb-add-group %g add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smb-add-machine %u add user to group script = /usr/local/sbin/smb-add-user-group %u %g delete user script = /usr/local/sbin/smb-rm-user %u delete user from group script = /usr/local/sbin/smb-rm-user-group %u %g delete group script = /usr/local/sbin/smb-rm-group %g [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /usr/local/lib/samba/netlogon guest ok = yes writeable = no share modes = no [profiles] path = /usr/local/lib/samba/profiles browseable = no guest ok = yes [printers] comment =All Pringers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writeable = no printable = yes anyways, when try to connect my windows pc (Pushin-PC) to samba.. i do the following command: \\192.168.198.137\Pushkin-PC$ the ip is the freebsd's ip running samba. and I get the following error: The network path was not found. Help?

There's useful information here: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7> hosts allow = 192.168.1 192.168.2 127. > > \\192.168.198.137\Pushkin-PC$You are aware that the "hosts allow" parameter lists two subnets that do not correspond to the address of your server, aren't you?
