Hi, I have a little network here. We have a cable modem that connects to a Linksys router then we have two computers that hook to it and share the internet. I have my Gentoo Linux box that I just installed samba on. She has a Windoze XP box. I think I have my samba set up, not real sure though, but I can not figure out the windoze box. I can ping the IP address of her windoze box from my Linux box, no clue on how to do that on her windoze box so I assume it can see my box too.
Can someone hold my hand and get this so I can get this to work? She seems to get hers pretty buggy and not boot and I just want to set it up so that she can drop her Documents folder on my system each night for a back-up. Sorry windoze, you suck. LOL Oh, the router uses DHCP so how do I let it figure out what the address is? In case you can not tell, this is all new to me. Here is the testparm thing, I did read what I could understand at least: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # testparm > Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf > WARNING: The "printer admin" option is deprecated > Processing section "[homes]" > Processing section "[printers]" > Processing section "[print$]" > Processing section "[DATA]" > Loaded services file OK. > WARNING: passdb expand explicit = yes is deprecated > Warning: Service printers defines a print command, but print command > parameter is ignored when using CUPS libraries. > Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE > Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions > > [global] > server string = Samba Server %v > map to guest = Bad User > log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m > max log size = 50 > socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 > printcap name = cups > dns proxy = No > printer admin = @adm > > [homes] > comment = Home Directories > read only = No > browseable = No > > [printers] > comment = All Printers > path = /var/spool/samba > create mask = 0700 > guest ok = Yes > printable = Yes > print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client > side printer drivers. > browseable = No > > [print$] > path = /var/lib/samba/printers > write list = @adm, root > guest ok = Yes > > [DATA] > path = /mnt/data/ > guest ok = Yes > case sensitive = No > hide unreadable = Yes > veto files = Donna-windoze/ > hide files = Donna-windoze/ > veto oplock files = Donna-windoze/ > msdfs proxy = no > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # What I am trying to share is /mnt/data/. Not sure what that other stuff is. Oh, if this will work in IE, that would be a HUGE plus. She still uses that thing. < pukes > I'm also not sure what to type into IE to get to my box either. Thanks for any help you can provide. I was following a how to but I think I got lost, hopefully just on the windoze part. Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
