I'm trying to use Samba to transfer some pictures on my local network from one 
of my Linux machines to my windows XP one.  I set up the Samba Server using 
Yast.  The output from 'testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf' is good.  My Global 
parameters are:

[global]
        workgroup = MYHOME
        netbios name = MYSAMBASERVER
        map to guest = Bad User
        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
        printcap cache time = 750
        printcap name = cups
        add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd  -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody 
-s

When I run smbclient to list my shares I get this:

# smbclient -L Linux
Error connecting to 127.0.0.2 (Connection refused)
Connection to Linux failed

I get this as root and my normal self on the same machine the server is on.
I turned the firewall off.

My /etc/samba/smbusers file:

# This file allows you to map usernames from the clients to the server.
# Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ...
#
# See section 'username map' in the manual page of smb.conf for more
# information.

root = administrator
;nobody = guest pcguest smbguest

Any ideas why my connection is being refused?  Also, anyone know how to access 
this samba share from the windows side?

Thanks,
Jerome
