Sorry if I am not understanding this.
I do not know what is so hard to follow.
Sorry but my reference was to Samba and Samba Server connections not Konqueror.
When you are trying to hammer nails with a broken hammer, the condition of the nails does not matter.

One thing for sure: You should consult the Samba documentation. Install the samba-doc package, then read /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/Samba-Guide.pdf or the html version under /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/htmldocs/Samba-Guide/.
Went to above doc; opened "Samba by Example" Chapter 1 No Frills Samba Server
OK, so much for that.. try /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/htmldocs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ instead, particularly Chapter 2 (Fast Start). This works for a server configuration: [global] workgroup = MIDEARTH netbios name = HOBBIT security = share [data] comment = Data path = /export read only = Yes guest ok = Yes To control who can actually connect to the system, one or both of the following are recommended in the global section: interfaces = <IP of NIC to listen on> hosts allow = <subnet of allowed hosts> eg, if you want to listen on the interface that has IP 192.168.1.106, then interfaces = 192.168.1.106 hosts allow = 192.168.1. Note how that subnet is specified. Change all names and IPs to what is relevant to your network, and yes, it will give you a functioning smb server with no security controls. I won't bother wading through all the ways to specify "interfaces", this is the easiest if you use fixed IPs on this network. For read-only access, the shared directory should be chmod 0744. If you want to allow read/write access, then of course "read only = no", and the directory should be chmod 0766. Also do the steps in the section "Anonymous Read/Write server" in the "Fast Start" document above. BTW, your server does *not* have a MAC address of 192.168.1.106. A MAC address looks like this: 00:50:FC:8B:4D:D1
I do knowsince I do not know Samba but it is my belief that CLIENT is not connecting to SERVER mount point if that is what they call /plans directory created in procedure 1.1 item 3. I don't know why you are even bothering with this mount point stuff. That is used by smbmount, to mount a remote filesystem that you access via smb. On the client system, you should only need to specify the workgroup and a Netbios name; then on that client, type smb:// in any browser location bar and hit <enter> (maybe Mozilla, etc will need to be further configured, but Konqueror already is configured). Once you can access the server, you can create direct links to its shared folders, eg. smb://HOBBIT/export.
If you really must use mountpoints, then read "man smbmount".
