I need help with Samba!

by felixortiz . Updated 24 years, 9 months ago

Ok folks,
here is my stomper. I have read so much about Samba that my eyes are bleeding. I still can’t get the darned thing to work right. Here is my current situation.

I have a test server setup with SlackWare 8, Samba 2.2.0a. A test workstation running Win 2k Pro, A test server running Win 2k, an another test workstation running Win98.

I have configured Samba with the following

[global]
workgroup = BRAINSTOMP
netbios name = SLACK
server string = Samba Server
password server = Stomper
ssl CA certDir = /etc/ssl/certs
log file = /var/log/samba.%m
max log size = 50
dns proxy = No
wins server = 10.0.0.2
guest account = pcguest
hosts allow = *
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home
read only = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes browseable = No
The SMB & NMB Daemons are running and the “slack” workstation shows up in my network neighborhood. However, when I try to browse to the workstation “slack” I get “\\slack is not accessible The network path was not found” error on all the client platforms.

Can anyone shed some light as to what is wrong with my config? At first I thought it was my Linux distro but I have tried RedHat, and Mandrake with the same results so it _must_ be my config….right?

Carlos
