Ok without your config file (/etc/smb.conf) it's
pretty difficult to tell what could be wrong. But
maybe check to see if localhost is in /etc/lmhosts and
check to see if your ip is in the host allow line in
your smb.conf file. One more thing, and I know this
sounds stupid but I've done it alot; After making
changes to the config files make sure you run
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart (or start if it's not
already running). Good luck and btw theres a really
basic howto on mandrakeuser.org that has helped me
notice the little thing before. The URL is
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/csamba.html
It spans about 5 pages but it normally take five
minutes to skim through and check your files for any
obvious errors you may have overlooked.
