Few days ago I asked for help in solving a mysterious problem which
prevented a PC with Windows 2000 from accessing Samba shares on a Linux
PC.
The problem was mysterious, because the diagnostic procedure spelled out
in the DIAGNOSIS.txt document pointed at badly-installed client software
as the culprit. And the client software was the Windows 2000
installation!
It turned out that the firewall definitions on the Linux PC were too
strict, and blocked the subnet over which it communicated with the Windows
2000 PC. The firewall allowed the Linux PC to initiate connections to its
heart's content, but blocked all incoming connection requests. So the
Linux PC could access the Windows 2000's shares, but not vice versa.
An extra line, to accept connections from the Windows 2000 PC's subnet,
was added to /etc/sysconfig/ipchains, and then
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipchains restart' solved the problem.
I thank everyone who answered my previous E-mail and tried to help me
solve the problem.
