I've got a configuration like this working fine. I followed the 'Making User's Happy' section in the Samba Documentation collection. Try doing a: root#:> smbclient -U% -L FASITET to see if the server can see itself. The one thing that stands out to me in you smb.conf file is that you don't have netbios name setting. Try this then look at your /var/log/samba/log.nmbd
