Chances are that there are some SELinux booleans that you need to change, as well. Which would be, for good security reasons, not allowed by default; because that sort of slackness is why Windows is always full of security flaws. But it has to be said that Windows networking can be a nightmare in its native environment. After fault finding other people's systems, I've reached the conclusion that it's been badly designed, and never sensibly fixed up. > Heck, I can't even get Gnome's User File Sharing to work between > Ubuntu and Fedora unless I completely deactivate the firewalls -- and > Fedora doesn't come with the correct packages installed by default; > you have to hunt down certain Apache and DAV packages yourself before > you can activate the -built-in- file sharing! Hmm, yeah, and it's not helped by a lack of documentation that explains how it's supposed to work, so you can figure out how to make it work. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
