What is the access control set to?

[gmoreno]

In Windows ???

This is my smb.conf:
[global]
path = /home/mp3s
password server = ****
server string = Gabe's Box
workgroup = HOME
comment = MP3s
default = global

[homes]
writable = yes
guest ok = yes

[praetorian]

in global add

security = share
public = yes

This is what is in my smb.conf and I'm able to browse from Win to Lin and Lin to Win. Whats up and /home/mp3. Did you creat a user called mp3 or did you just place this directory in there?

You need to move the path and comment parameters from under [global] to [homes]. I don't see why you named it [homes] though. You know that what goes between brackets is what the share shows up as on the Win machine, right? Here's my smb.conf which I use to share my mp3's as well plus my floppy drive since my mom's doesn't work.

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localhost.princekenshi.org (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2001/12/09 17:05:28

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = FREAKS
netbios name = KENSHI
interfaces = ed0
security = SHARE

[mp3]
comment = Music
path = /mp3
guest ok = Yes

[floppy]
path = /floppy
guest ok = Yes

I have a directory with all my mp3s at /home/mp3s

Also:
When I'm in Xp and open "run" and type in //192.168.0.3 my linux box comes up but I cant access anything... I can only view the folders but not get into them..
