This is my smb.conf file. I can ping the C3k (192.168.1.113)and I can ping my XP desktop (192.168.1.1) so they talk. I am on a linksys router using the wireless access.

When I type 192.168.1.113\home on my desktop, I get a message saying connection was refused.

Can someone read my .conf file and tell me if I have errors in it? Any suggestions??

In the [home] section, try replacing "path = /home/samba" with "path=/home/samba/Internal_Disk"

Otherwise it looks just like mine.

Does your WIFI connection come up as wlan0 or eth0

if its eth0 you need it in the interfaces line.

also check your inetd.conf for

#samba
netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/smbd
netbios-ns dgram upd wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nmdb

All the lines in inetd.conf have a # in front and there is no samba section. Is there suppose to be?

I see it in my mshome listing using explorer. It identifies itself as 'Zaurus'in the tree listing. In the right hand side pane in explorer, it lists itself as 'Samba 2.0.7-ja-2.2(Zaurus)'. Is that right?

So I see it but it states (when I double click it):

'\\Zaurus is not accessible. You might not have permission to use it. Contact administrator. Network path not found.''

as far as I know you need those two lines to get NetBIOS running so windoze can connect. I is not an expert but there is an article in the FAQ / Howtoos to get SMB working with M$ ps if your on XP you will need to mess with your firewall if its enabled (XP sp2 by default enables it)

I have about 20 hours in on this now. I am somewhat confused by the number of smb.conf files in different locations

/usr/lib/samba/smb.conf
/home/etc/samba/smb.conf

are they all supposed to be the same?

craigtyson · « **Reply #7 on:** April 20, 2005, 04:28:35 am »

one should be in ROM. The other should be a symlink to the other or a genuine file which takes prefrence over teh ROM version.

For the third time, I restored to factory condition and then just edited the smb.conf to list my workgroup, access my router and add wlan0.

AND it worked!!!

No idea why.

Thanks to everyone who answered my post, all your help is most appreciated!
