What do you get when you do this (copied from my local howto):
% cd /opt/samba/bin
% ./smbclient -L MACHINE_NAME -U '' -N
(shows active shares)
% ps -auwwx | grep mbd
(you should see both smbd and nmbd running)
% netstat -a | grep netbios
(you should see netbios in the LISTEN state)
% ./nmblookup -B MACHINE_NAME __SAMBA__
(this should respond with machine_name's IP address)
% ./nmblookup -B my_PC_HOST_NAME '*'
(pick a PC host name; it should respond)
% ./nmblookup -d 2 '*'
(this broadcasts; you should see quite a few responses)
% ./smbclient '\\MACHINE_NAME\TMP'
(prompts you for your Windows password; enter it; at the next
prompt, type exit)
Regards,
Jill.
(wtf? my mailer has gone even more brain dead than normal... sorry guys)
