#======================= Global Settings

[global]
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name
workgroup = MSHOME #Same as windows box

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
hosts allow = 10.0.0.0/255.255.0.0 #correct subnet
# The following two entries demonstrate how to share a directory so that two
# users can place files there that will be owned by the specific users.
In this
# setup, the directory should be writable by both users and should have the
# sticky bit set on it to prevent abuse. Obviously this could be extended to
# as many users as required.

path = /home/racket/downloads/cisco
valid users = mark anne #user mark has ben added to Linux box

Finish, I'm given a Connect to localhost.localdomain window with,
Connecting to 10.0.0.3
Username: mark
Password:

User name: HOME-HEHBBZSUYZ\mark #Windows box Hostname
