I absolutely cannot access a shared folder on my samba server with any microsoft computer (XP,vista, or 2003server). I can browse the network, I can see the share, but I can't get any further. I have a server loaded with Fedora 11, and Samba 3.4.1. Services are all working. SWAT works for configuring. Have tried USER and SHARE level security. Workgroup is set to workgroup.I have removed and reloaded Samba/SWAT multiple times and this crap will not work! And yes I have used the smbpasswd -a command for my username. I have a single folder /test I am trying to access. Permissions on folder is 777. Firewall is turned off. Researching on the net has provided nothing. I'm beginning to think its just a bug in the fedora/samba program. I really could use a quick fix here. I'm not worried about security. If I could just get access to the damn folder once, I can the work backwards to tighten security. I'm not a linux pro, but Im not stupid either. It took me less than 2 hours to load it all and get it working. What am I missing please?
Here is my smb.conf
[global]
server string = Samba Server Version %v
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
cups options = raw
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
browsable = No
[test]
comment = Simple test share folder
path = /test
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
I can provide an advance view, but all other options are default. Please help.
