Re: [PLUG] Configuring Samba on a Dell Inspiron 7000

[Noah silva <nsilva@atari-source.com>]

Hi,

Have you verified that SMB is actually running (i.e. ps aux | grep samba)?
Have you tried any other TCP/IP connection (Telnet, SSH, wWW, etc.)?
Did you look in /etc/hosts.allow?

those are just what I can think of in 10 seconds.

thanks,
  noah silva

Because of this I assume that nmbd is working correctly but something is getting messed up in the smbd portion of this.  My workgroup is "@home" running behind a Linksys Router with DHCP.  Currently I have my security setting to User but have also tried the share level setting, but the USER setting has no encryption because I ran the registry patch telling Windows to not encrypt my password.
