Hi Keith,

~From what I gather, you are trying to allow the Windows computer access
to Linux samba shares, right?

After starting up samba, can you do:

smbclient -L localhost
smbclient -L <whatever the network address of the server is>

and see if you can connect and see the shares listed.  Then try:

smbclient //localhost/<share>

to try connecting to the actual share.

Tell us what you find.


Anton
