Thanks Frankie
the Global section now looks like this:-
[global]
workgroup = MDKGROUP
netbios name = FW-GB7TF
server string = Samba Server %v
encrypt passwords = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = cups
domain logons = Yes
dns proxy = No
printer admin = @adm
printing = cups
hosts allow = 44.131.90. 127.0.0.1
interfaces = eth0
os level = 99
security = share
But still that damn windows box is not seeing this one ....AGHHH !
