Would someone mind cut-and-pasting their smb.conf file, or at least the
portion thereof, which shows the code which sets up Samba for file-sharing
and access from an XP machine?  Thanks.

Currently, my XP machine file manager can see the workgroup in which the
Linux machine is located as well as the Samba server, but Samba server
will not allow access.

Did you run smbadduser and smbpasswd to give accounts to access the
Samba server?

What are the permissions on the shares?  Does your user own or have
access to the shares and are they set up to be readable and writeable?

This is a permission problem. I saw someone advise using adduser.
If you haven't gotten very far with this, erase samba 2.2.8 and
download and install the 3.01pre3 which works well and is automated
for some of the configuration tasks.

With version 3.+ after adduser the command is smbpasswd -a username
The username must also be on the win xp machine.

If you want to initially use the swat program change
only_from = localhost    to only_from = 127.0.0.1
because though they are supposed to be equivalent, they are not,
if you are using RH9.
Also change in swat: disable = yes to disable = no
or maybe it is enable = no should be changed to enable = yes
I forget whether it is in terms of disable or enable but
the default setting is incorrect so change to the opposite.

To get a feel for this create a username account called root
with administrative priveleges on the win xp machine assuming
you have pro (there may be problems with home) and logon
to both machines as root. If you have root in both smbpasswd
and Windows XP users this will likely work for file sharing
both ways. Next try the user "everyman" on both machines.
If the connection doesn't work both ways you will see that
the problem rests in groups and permissions. Also if you
want to share printers you will need guest ok = yes in
the [printer] share section. If you use google, you can find
posts about this on the linux.samba group and Howto.
On the linux side I use Xsmbrowser for graphical network.
I spent two weeks on this so read docs when it comes to printing.

Regards,
Stephen

Stephen...

I just came across this post and noted you're use of the smb browser.
Quick question:  does it allow one to actually work with file on remote
file systems?  The newwer versions of RH that I've played with lately
have some sort of "built-in" smb browse capability that seems to work ok
for "lookie only, but no touchie".  In other words - you can't actually
do anything with remote files viewed in this manner.  One has to copy
them over to the local filesystem and then you are allowed to open it,
play it, etc...  just curious about this one that you mention.

Thanks...
