Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the long post but I'm using Slackware 12 with KDE. I am new to Samba and have some slight networking problems.
PROBLEM 1
I have been attempting to configure Samba and so far I can see my shared folders in Windows XP however when I try to open either folder from WinXP I get this message:
\\SLACK12\guest home is not accessible.
You may not have permission to use this
network resource.Contact the Administrator
of this server to find out if you have
access permissions.
Both folders are Public,Browsable,Available with share level security in Samba. Access permissions I set in "Properties" for both folders are as follows: owner,group,others "can view and modify content" Ownership is set as, user:guest Group:Users. Again all settings are for both folders. So,what do I change to access my folders from WinXP ?
Problem 2
I type smb://slack12/ in Konqueror try to open either folder and see this message:
The file or folder smb://slack12/guest folder does not exist.
It certainly does exist. They both do. These are just folders in my "guest" account so I don't have login as "root" all the time. Can anyone explain this message to me? Here's my very basic and probably incomplete smb.conf:
restrict anonymous = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
workgroup = HOME
server string = Samba
max protocol = NT
acl compatibility = winnt
ldap ssl = No
server signing = Auto
local master = no
[guest folder]
case sensitive = no
strict locking = no
guest ok = yes
msdfs proxy = no
read only = no
path = /home/guest
[guest home]
case sensitive = no
strict locking = no
guest ok = yes
msdfs proxy = no
read only = no
path = /home
On my Slackware box I can see and access my windows files just fine. I just cannot access my shares in my Slack box from windows. Any help appreciated!
Thank You jonycat
