G'day...
Just check that your interfaces are ok... or even temporarily remove the
line (don't have the network connected to the internet at the time).
When you do a net use f: \\<Linux box>\temp - what are you specifying as <Linux box> ?
All the best...
Mike

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Sorry I slight mistake in what I was doing:
I have setup a share called "temp" in smb.conf and it looks like this:
[temp]
path = /tmp
read only = no
guest ok = yes
I have now set the global setting to:
[global]
workgroup = Workgroup
server string = Linux Box
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
security = share
encrypt passwords = yes
netbios name = Linuxbox
wins support = yes
I have stopped and restarted samba and I still get the same error from my
windows box i.e.:
net use f: \\<Linux box>\temp
gives:
"The remote computer is not available"
Do you know if I am missing anything in terms of the windows box because
samba is up and running and I can connect okay from linux so could the
problem be windows?
Thanks
Dan
