Code: Select all
Check to see if Samba is Running
It should return a [ok] on the right side of your terminal
No Ok's I get:
* nmbd is running
* smdb is running
Code: Select all
Add Samba password for your users that will be accessing the shared folder.
Confusing to this old brain. I only have one user on this box. I found you cannot add a samba user without it being a Linux user.
Code: Select all
Browse to The New Shared Folder
- Open IE or Firefox and put the IP address in the address bar like so:
I changed \\ to // or left them out and Firefox cannot find the server. I can see it in Windows Explorer but login fails.

That's ok, the samba server is running and thats what you need. I was thinking about the restart which gives the [ok] for both shutting down the deamon and starting it back up.
Example:
Results:
* Stopping Samba daemons [ OK ]
* Starting Samba daemons [ OK ]

Yes, I didn't state it, the username must have an account on that particular system, I use only one user on the boxes I build as well. After you've modified the the smb.conf file and added the username and pw, do a restart of the samba sever like I stated above. You should then be able to simply add your IP address in the address bar and hit enter. When prompted, use the same username and password you added above to access the folder. One thing to note, click the rememebr password on the Windows Ddialog box. I'm not at home or could validate each step.
If you still can't access it, post back here, and I'll sort it out when I get home for sure.
