Thanks Roger, Looks like I had a couple issues going --- Needed ipchains and iptables disabled and I needed files in the /var/cache/samba directory. Copied some of the files (unexected and connections, etc) onto the server. Seems like I have a working server now --- have to spend some time getting things secured a little better - but at least it's working now.

Workstation installation disable ipchains and iptables - my guess is that it's a firewall issue. samba needs ports 137, 138 and 139 open, so if it runs, restart the firewall with these ports open. - cheers naugaranch wrote: > Hopefully someone can help me.
