samba: little help?

[andre]

I am reading the docs, but I would still like
to ask a few questions. I've installed samba, configured it to my best, I can see the host name "linuxbox" on my nt newtwork, but when I try to open it, is says network path not found.
nt network is 128.0.0.n, linuxbox 128.0.0.n also.

Does anyone see anything obvious? or have had this problem?

i have fought samba a couple times

most of my problems were in setting the smb.conf file incorrectly and with password authentication

you might have to post this in networking, but you could also try posting the portions of your smb.conf file that you have changed/added

Take a look at the samba nhf it sorted all my problems

Here are some of the global settings of my /etc/smb.conf file :

os level=64
path=/home/samba/netlogon
netbios name=<your server name>
workgroup=<your domain name>
encrypt passwords=yes
wins support=yes
logon script=%U.bat
logon drive=H:
logon home=\%N\home\%U
logon path=\%N\home\samba\profiles\U%
preferred master=yes
domain logons=yes
domain master=yes

this works fine with W95/98 stations set up for domain logging and with NT4 stations set up for WORKGROUP logging

don't forget to create the corresponding directories especially
/home/samba/netlogon (or whatever else on your system)
hope it will help
