Ugh. Can you summarise in text what you have done. I'd bet nobody is willing to go and view a video to find out... Have you enabled any shares on the server? If so, how? I think it is safe for you to share your /etc/samba/smb.conf I.e. it shouldn't contain any things that should be kept secret (like passwords). Read it yourself and be satisfied about this before posting. static shares are defined in this file. user level shares are usually created from the Files application, and info about them is stored in /var/lib/samba/usershares > Progress thus: the boxes can ping each other and their gateway; "# > service smbd restart" on server works ok. May need also 'service nmbd restart' On my machine 'service samba status' returns * nmbd is running * smbd is running To make sure the server can be found: First on the server, then on the client: 'nmblookup my.server.name' should return an IP address -- Eliot _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
