I have samba set up and can see the Windows machine but can not write to it. I try to change the permisions on the Suse machine's /mnt point but they stay the same.
Then i try to browse the network from the Windows machine and nothing, the Suse machine does not show up at all.
What am i missing here as i have the same settings i use with other distros which work. I disable my firewall and to no avail.
Must say nfs was a breeze with Suse 9.1, just this samba is giving me grief.
One thing why I use SuSE cause it's samba so easy to manage, and never had significant problem with it, but never use it as PDC / BDC. Maybe you can show us what is your smb.conf. Is it become samba server, or client.
This is my smb.conf file generated by webmin, i have tried the webmin way no as the standard samba conf way did not work. This is not a PDC btw but a workstation.
