Samba Problems

[Ansar Mohammed]

If you can access the server through IP address but not hostname you need to
add the Linux machine in your DNS or WINS.
In addition you need to define your machine name in the global options. 
Try this:

[global]
Workgroup = HOME
Netbios name = <insert your netbios name here>


Try using swat or testparm they can help you out allot.

Subject: [TLUG]: Samba Problems

I've searched for many solutions to my problem. Including reading many
posts in this specific forum. Ive gotten pretty far, but not as far as
I wanted.

All I want is to turn my Linux box into a file server. And so far I
can see the box on windows network, but when i click on it, it says i
do not have enough permissions. However, when I go through IE
"\\server-ip" I can then enter the user/pass set from smbpasswd -a
adam. I have no idea how to fix this. :S

smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = HOME
[Lappy]
comment = Slackware Laptop
path = /home/adam
read only = no
guest ok = yes

Any suggestions? Thanks allot.
