Samba Problems

[20_MuleTeam_Borax]

I tried to setup a shared directory using samba. The NHF said to test it using
"smbclient -L 10.1.1.23"
and I'm getting this error. . .

added interface ip=10.1.1.23 bcast=10.1.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
error connecting to 10.1.1.23:139 (Connection refused)
Connection to 10.1.1.23 failed

Is there a problem w/ my samba configuration? Is something else (xinetd, firewall, etc) refusing the connection? Any ideas?

Well, I can reproduce the problem on my computer with the exact same output by shutting Samba down. Run a "samba status" to see if Samba is running. If it's not, run "samba start", and then the smbclient test.

If "samba status" returns "smbd (pid #) is running..." and "nmbd (pid #) is running...", then try the smbclient test with the loop-back ip address of "127.0.0.1".

If that doesn't work, give us a copy of your [global] section in smb.conf so we can see if something is wrong there.
