Hi guys. I've tryed to set up samba to share files between my win200 and linux machines. I've attached a copy of my /etc/smb.conf for you to look over. My problem is, I can't mount the other machine even after installing the smbfs module and I can't see this machine from the other 1. Am I doing something wrong? Shaun..

You should read the # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too # many!) most of which are not shown in this example # # Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) # is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a # # for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you # may wish to enable # # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm" # to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors. # #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: LINUX2 workgroup = workgroup # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = Samba Server # This option is important for security.
