Hate to be picky but you seem to be approaching the entire issue from the wrong angle. Giving us error output does in itself not help with debugging your problems. We need to see your smb.conf and maybe your permissions on the directories. You haven't even said what you are trying to share if printer or drives and which way. I really suggest you read these chapters and follow them step by step. O'reilly has it all for you listed what you need to do: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/index.html mk
