First off, I've tried #smaba/samba docs/samba's webside and default smb.conf file (several).

I have used samba before, so when I got my old box fired up with all it's little bells and whistles, I thought dragging my smb.conf file back over and starting samba would make it just like it was. Wrong.

What I've got it down to isn't the smb.conf file (I don't think - and it's included here), but the computer allowing acces via the netowork. It's also my Apache/proFTPd server, and provides access to the internet for my other two internal computers (the ones that can not use samba) can ping the samba box.

I chmod 777 ALL files in the directory I've selected for my internal network (and even a GOB of directories used with ftp and apache - just cuz I was/am desperate).

Code:

#Test smb.conf
[global]
        dns proxy = No
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        null passwords = Yes
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        max log size = 50
        hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
        workgroup = STEIGERS
        server string = FileServer
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        os level = 99

[FileServer]
        comment = FileServer
        path = /mnt/FileServer
        force user = nobody
        read only = No
        create mask = 0777
        directory mask = 0777
        guest ok = Yes
        delete readonly = Yes

[homes]
     comment = Linux User Home
     path = %H
     writeable = yes
     valid users = %S
     create mode = 0600
     directory mode = 0700
     locking = no


This smb.conf file is the most recent attempt. I know there are things in there that aren't needed, but as I mentioned above, I just use this internaly, and want to give my wife (xp computer) and me (gentoo box) access to all the files in /mnt/FileServer.

The other reason this is in Networking & Security is that I think it's a network problem. Although the samba file spacificly shows host allow all internal ip's it's still not working. Is there something in my firewall I need to add? (I use Firestarter because it's worked out of the box since verison .wayback).

Thanks for any and all input,
Justin :?:

P.S. I just tried this:
Code:
justins root # smbclient -L 192.168.0.1 -N
From my computer (ip is that of my servers internal nic). I used the ip address because it wasn't working with the host name (FILESERVER).
and I got this:
Code:
timeout connecting to 192.168.0.1:445
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[STEIGERS] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.7-2]

        Sharename       Type      Comment

        FileServer      Disk      FileServer
        homes           Disk      Linux User Home
        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (FileServer)
        ADMIN$          IPC       IPC Service (FileServer)
Anonymous login successful

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
        FILESERVER           FileServer

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        STEIGERS             FILESERVER



Hope I made sence, cuz it's getting a little fuzzy here.
