Anne Looking at your smb.conf it looks like you are going to be broadcasting Samba over both of your interfaces. To your local network, and to the internet. This is a severe security risk, and will make samba run very slow. It is possible your firewall will block it anyway, but just to be sure.. You should restrict Samba to the local network only by inserting the line interfaces = eth0 in the [global] parameters (assuming eth0 is the local network) Also I doubt very much if you need WINS support in yout network, and suggest disabling it. You also have not declared a WINS server which may explain why nmbd is giving you that error message. Your Homes folder is not browsable and so will not be shown in a list of shares. I have editied your smb.conf file with the changes I think you need, and will send it to you as an attachment. Note: I will only allow Samba to work over eth0 If your local network is on a different adapter you should edit the file. derek
