Well, let's first eliminate some basics:

Can you ping the machine by its Netbios name?

If not, can you even ping it by its IP address?

Is the server located on the other side of a firewall, which would prevent you from seeing the machine in Network Neighborhood?

If you can ping the machine by its Netbios name and/or IP address but cannot see it in network Neighborhood, can you access it by going to \\servername or \\ipaddress?

Just trying to figure out if this is really a Samba issue, or if it's more related to your network setup. I ask these things because in my setup, my computer is on our LAN, behind a firewall and with an internal IP address; while my Samba server is located on the other side of my firewall (and behind a second firewall) with a public IP address. So I can't see the server in Network Neighborhood, even if the workgroup name is the same (double-check that in your setup, too). However, I can still access the computer by its IP address and the computer name (though I don't think the Samba Netbios name will resolve over my firewall), and I just map the necessary drives so I'm set.

Also check the IPs of your computers trying to access this server. Looks like no one without an IP address of 192.168.1.XXX will be able to access this server.

Did you set the WINS server to your Linux box on the XP machine?

I hope nobody knows solving this problem

Have you tried to explore your linux machine from windows with \\ipaddress? If this shows the shares or asks for a password, you are headed in the right direction. It is possible that the Windows machine is not resolving the netbios or dns name. You could then just edit your WINS server settings.

Good luck and please work on your spelling and grammar, it is very distracting.

I would start by commenting out the "hosts deny" line and then (from a Windows box) use "nbtstat" to see if the shares become available.

It also looks like you're trying to run a domain controller which will require you to create Samba user accounts on the Linux box.

Where can I find about samba documents?But I am using SUSE 10.0linux. and Windows don't access \\dns to linux machine

thekillerbean · 02-11-2006, 06:24 PM

There is very good documentation for smb.conf in the man pages. Type the following at the prompt:

Code:

$ man smb.conf

The "$" is the prompt and need not be typed - it may be different for your system.

Hope this helps a little.

Cheers,

Checking out samba.org would probably help. I found the HOWTO and the Learn By Example sections very helpful.
