I have set up the users and password for samba and I cannot access the share folders. I followed these steps: http://www.samba.netfirms.com/addusers.htm

I able to see the folders but I cannot access them. Then I changed the security= SHARE and I get the window:

user:\\SAMBA\guest
pass:

I tried all the users passwords that I created for Samba and no luck. We are here trying to set up a file server. We are in a LOCAL network .

Thanks..

I would try this on the Linux machine. The Linux machine has hostname SAMBA, or at least a netbios name of SAMBA, right?
The username ('guest') should be the Windows username. When prompted for a password, enter the Windows password for that Windows username.

If that command shows your shares, then the Samba server might be setup right. If it doesn't, it's probably not.

This is what I get when I run the command above: (And still cannot access the folders)

This is what I get when I run nmap to the WIN machine that is trying to access the SAMBA machine:

Starting Nmap 4.10 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-10-31 12:16 EST

Are there any port needed to be open? If yes, how do I do that?
Thanks....
