Samba is Driving Me Crazy

okay. this might be more of a windows problem, but i am going to bring it up anyways. i have samba working on my redhat 8 box. i can access this windows machine & my mac from nautilis smb://ecs, and i can see the redhat box from windows network neightborhood. i just cant access it. maybe i missed something in the smb.conf file..

Code: [Select]

i have looked everywhere, and have tried several different config files and it all comes down to the same thing. windows cannot access the shares icon_evil.gif

oh sorry, i should have given a little more info. Im running redhat 8, windows 2k w/service pack2, & mac osx.2.3 i dont even need the windows machine to connect, since i use my mac about 95% of the time, it just really got under my skin that redhat could mount, browse, and write files to windows shares, but windows couldnt.

try changing security to user and then adding some users to samba

when i turn the firewall off, it works fine. so i guess i should write some rules in my firewall to open those ports when they are called on or something.. anyone care to help me do this. no?. cool. thats why i bought a book.
