i am attempting to get samba running on my network at home, but am comming across the following problem: I am running samba on a SuSE 6.3 box (not really too important), A WINDOWS box on the network is able to detect that it is there, but can't access it. but, i can ping, finger, telnet, and ftp to the server (named: LINUX) but "network neighborhood" doesn't allow access to it. (for some reason it wants a password.) I have logged onto the WINDOWS box, as USERA and password as USERA (real names and passwords left out) so i figured i could get passed the password problem. NO. i entered in both the user password, and even ROOT password, but no success (yes i know that entering root passwords over SMB is not good because of text/plain type. If i am on the LINUX box, i can run: smbmount //windows/c /mnt and it would mount fine (if i entered the username's password that is logged in.) I can print fine to the printer, however the printer is located on the windows box so that was no problem. I ran the samba setup utility and it is set up for public, and announce as 95 with user something (as opposed to share something or server something). ryan <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000>i am attempting to get samba running on my network at home, but am comming across the following problem:</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000>I am running samba on a SuSE 6.3 box (not really too important),</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=420272415-06012000>A WINDOWS box on the network is able to detect that it is there, but can't access it. but, i can ping, finger, telnet, and ftp to the server (named: LINUX) but "network neighborhood" doesn't allow access to it.
