I'll try to spell out the problem as best I can. There are three computers on a LAN, "ADS1", "ADS2" and "DRS2". ADS1 and ADS2 run samba-3.5.8-76.fc14.i686 under Fedora 14. DRS2 runs Windows XP professional, SP3.
Each of them can successfully ping all the others by name. They are all in the same WORKGROUP (GAMMA5). The Fedora machines (ADS1, ADS2) can see all three machines (including the XP machine) in their Network places, and in the Windows Network, and can successfully read and write designated shared files on the all the other machines (including the XP machine). The Windows machine (DRS2) cannot even see the linux machines in its network places. (It sees only itself, DRS2 in the WORKGROUP GAMMA5) Naturally, therefore, it cannot see files on the linux machines. Where do I start to solve this? Thanks in advance for you help. -Al Here is the non-comment part of smb.conf on ADS2 ================================================ [global] workgroup = gamma5 security = share idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 winbind use default domain = false winbind offline logon = false server string = Samba Server Version %v netbios name = ADS2 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 cups options = raw encrypt passwords = no guest ok = yes guest account = guest [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no printable = yes [other] path = /other read only = no guest ok = yes ... other shares, nothing else. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
