I just did an installation of Fedora Core 4 on my home computer. I figured out how to mount my NTFS partitions from another drive and get my MP3 collection moved over to my linux drive. I have since been battling with Samba in an attempt to get the files shared on my home network. Both of them reside behind the router/firewall and have static IP addresses. I have the firewall disabled on the Linux box, so I don't think that could be the problem. I have read a bunch of howtos and I have tried many samba config files. I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Below is my current smb.conf file (parsed by testparm):
I can see the samba server from my XP box. I have duplicated the main username on the linux box that I use in XP - same password and everything. I have made sure to add the linux users to the samba config and set the samba password. First I did this all through the command prompt, then I tried using the GUI. Both with the same result. When I double click on the server in the Network browser in XP I get the following error:
I made sure that the data folder is universally writeable and readable in Linux. I'm stumped! Can anybody give me some advice?!
