Pinging is cool, my workgroup is visible but You changed the not having spent X hours to get it to work part. Run testparm, that will try to tell you if the config error is in the smb.conf. Check the DIAGNOSIS.txt, check the online docs at www.samba.org (pick a mirror). Verify your entries in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf. The UNIX_INSTALL.txt describes this (It's in the samba sources, have no idea what Corel includes). If everything fails you can probably find more people that know samba on the samba@samba.org mailinglist (http://lists.samba.org/) than you can here. I have never run samba from inetd, always as standalone daemons. It may be easier to debug the problem if you do that (eliminates the posibility of inetd misconfig). /Urban - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
