but the machine does not shows up in winxp m/c network. although i am able to ping each one from the other. now where to trouble shoot.
Not that easy. You will now have to create machine trust accounts for every machine that needs to access this server, and user accounts for those who want to access this server.
After the changes Subodh has made to smb.conf file, the samba server should start showing up in the network neighborhood. The users may not be able to access files.
- Check whether you have a firewall blocking the connections to the samba server.
- Check if you can see other PCs of the network from your samba server. For example, if you have a windows system with netbios name of "CRASHER" then run the command ``nmblookup CRASHER`` from your samba server. It should give you the IP address of CRASHER.
- from CRASHER try accessing your smaba server directly by typing "\\SAMBA_SERVER_NAME" and report back the error message you get.
- Check the samba log files.
Lastly, please do not hijack threads. If you see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi/6043 .. you will find that your mail has been filed under "Hungama time" . I have started a new thread for you, please use it for further discussion.
Below is an explanation how threading works.
To start a new topic of discussion (commonly called a `thread'), compose a new message. Hit the "Write new message" button (or whatever button your client uses). Type in the address of the mailing list as the To address. This is the only way to actually start a new thread.
Always start a new thread instead of taking an already ongoing one, changing the subject line and posting it again. The subject line is only loosely related to the threading. Every mail message has a message-id. When you "reply" or "followup" to a message, you client is supposed to put a References header with the message-id of the message you are replying to.
If you use an existing thread, the result is that your question is buried below unrelated questions when looking at the mailing list in a threaded way. This is known as `Hijacking threads'. It causes information to be lost and you'll be less likely to get an answer.
