Try to connect to the linux share from windows explorer (map network drive) instead of network neighborhood.

Type in the path box: \\lixunfeg\administrator
click ok. You can also use the IP address for linxufeg

I have tried,but It is no use

In your smb.conf file you have:

wins server = 192.0.0.3

Are you actually running WINS on your Win2k machine? If you are not, remove that line from your smb.conf file. It could interfere with your Samba server announcing itself on the network.

Another thing to check is for a firewall on Red Hat. To see if there is a firewall blocking traffic to your Samba server execute this as root on your Linux server:

service iptables stop
service ipchains stop

Then try to access your Samba share.

If it works, you'll need to either modify your firewall or just leave it off if you don't need it.

yes,firewall problem. it works now.
