Let me ask a couple of really silly questions. Did you actually set up a user account ? Is there a line in your smb.conf that refers to listening interfaces and are they the correct interfaces/addresses ? > One thing I notice is that nmbd is running but smbd isn't (ps -ax|grep > mbd). Is this normal behavior? more /var/log/dmesg.today|grep mbd yields > nothing; looking at /var/log/log.nmbd the line most definately not normal behaviour. smbd should be spawing a process as root ie the master process and then one process per user so if you cannot see smbd running then I cannot see how you can hope to connect sucessfully. nmbd is the netbios name daemon so if that is running you should be able to "see" the computer but without smbd you cannot connect.
