Hi
I am a new bee to Linux in general. Please accept my apologies if the
question is not appropriate.
I have a LAN with 2 computers: One is CentOS and one is Windows XP.
I am trying to transfer file between 2 computers using LAN. Can you
please tell me how to do it?
I have tried Samba from the Applications menu.
Add a directory in there. Set it to Read only and Allow access to
everyone. I couldn't see the CentOS from Windows computer.
I have tried the Network Servers. There is Windows Network there. When i
click to see inside that, there is nothing.
I tried to see the all the services are running. The winbind status is
winbindd dead but subsys locked.
Thanks a lot for your help. I do appreciate that.

"service smb status" will tell you if the services (smbd,
nmbd) are running but ...
Maybe your firewall is active and blocking your requests;
From a root prompt type
# service iptables status
If the response is "Firewall is stopped" then this is not
the problem - however if you get a list of the firewall
entries, then try
# service iptables status|egrep "445|137|138|139"
You should see 4 or so entries listed for the various
services related to samba sharing.
If you see none, you need to either ;
A.
stop the firewall (not recommended, but you may want to stop
it to confirm that the firewall is the issue) using
# service iptables stop
(restart it with # service iptables start)
B.
config the firewall to allow these ports (recommended solution)
try /usr/sbin/s
set Security Level to "Enabled",
Customize, under "Other ports" type "445:tcp 137:udp 138:udp
139:tcp"
This should allow all the samba services to ba accessed.

MrKiwi
