I am running samba 2.2.4 and it doesn't work. I can see my com in windoze, but i can't connect to it. It must be samba b/c i can connect to other coms from vmware. Error is:

Code:

\\Laptop is not accessable

The network path was not found.


Here's the smb.conf
Code:
[global]

   workgroup = HOME

   server string = Samba Server %v

   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

   max log size = 50

  guest account = pcguest


   security = share

  encrypt passwords = yes
  smb passwd file = /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd

   socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192


   dns proxy = no

guest ok = yes

#============================ Share Definitions ==============================


[main]
    comment = Laptop
    path = /
    writeable = yes
    browseable = yes

   print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r   # using client side printer drivers.

I just used the stock smb.conf file that comes with the distribution (I think it's smb.conf.sample or something). Then I changed the workgroup name, server string and nt description field to whatever I wanted. I removed printing support (just commented it out -- I don't have a printer) and under the [homes] section I set 'browsable = yes'...

If you log in as a specific user, don't forget to specify your user directory, or homes:

Code:
smbclient -U myusername //computer_name/homes

or

Code:
smbclient -U myusername //computer_name/myusername

Seems to work all right for me... Windows should pick it up too, just use the above machine spec (//computer_name/homes) but reverse the slashes.

/usr/bin/smbd and /usr/bin/nmbd are both running on my system, if they're not samba ain't running.

Try
Code:
/etc/init.d/samba restart

You also have to do this when making changes to the smb.conf file.

Stating the obvious, I assume you have run rc-update add samba default, or any other runlevel.

Somewhere in that guide I posted, I believe it mentions setting the debug level of the log files. Do so. You should get some info in the samba logs that will tell you /why/ smbd won't start.
