hi Jay First of all, I'd recommend subscribing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's a general mailing list for SAMBA-related issues, and the people on it r very helpful (generally :) ).
Ok, when you ran sambaconfig, did you specify the INETD option or to 'run as daemon' option. In your case, if you're running the samba server on a home network I'd go for the INETD option. Basically INETD will listen for SMB session requests on port 139 and start up a smbd for the relevant authenticated user. Setting up the INETD option can involve a little bit more tinkering that the daemon option though, so I guess the second option has convenience on its side. Your problem at the moment sounds like the samba box isn't running SMB services (ie. Samba as a daemon or through INETD). What happens when you click on the linux box in Network Neighborhood? ALso, do you have the 'homes' share configured? What security mode are you using (SECURITY=USER?), and have you added users to the smbpasswd file (in /etc/samba)? tks Andrew -----Original Message----- From: Jay Kelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 07, 2000 1:26 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Samba Headache Hello All, Well Im still working on getting samba to work with Windows 98. I have configured the smb.conf to share my home directory on the linux box. Then I open Network Neighorhood in windows and can see the linux box. I then try to Map a drive on the linux box and get a error. Windows pops up a dialog box saying:" \\Neutec is not accessible The computer or sharname could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again" Now when I change the Window Primary Network Logon from Windows Logon to anything else I can no longer see the Linux box. This cant be that hard, what am I doing wrong ? I tried to install Swat but I couldnt get it to work as well, I was received a error connection refused. Thanks for you help guys settings to log -- It feels so good, It's a marginal risk, when I clear off windows with fdisk Powered by Debian GNU/Linux. http://www.debian.org -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
