can see but not access-winxp + samba

[chanmy8]

hi,
I try to connect winxp to linux box with simple file sharing. I am able to see my linuxserver from neighbourhood, but i cant "enter" into it to see/access the share folder.
I have add user account to linux and samba with username same as my winxp machine name. But still not working

BTW, I have set encrypt password = yes

Any ideas?

Thank you

Did you smbpasswd -a username ? It adds an entry in the smbpasswd file. That's the password file Samba checks when a user comes across the network looking for a share. It doesn't use the standard login password file.

Hi,
YEs, I did. What still not working.
I would like to make it clearer here.
My winxp machine named "ckk", so I need to create an "ckk" account in linux and samaba too? Does the password must same as winxp password? If i don't have login set in winxp, then how?

Again, If I need to connect to linux box, it must be in domain? Could I make it simple sharing just like 2 winxp connect to each other without domain?

Thank you

One thing that may be a problem is [/pub] should be called [pub]. This might cause a problem because on others boxes it would look like \\cswei\/pub. Leave the path alone though.

I think you can't access the shares because your guest account doesn't have access. For example, if /pub has permissions rwx------, then only the owner can access it. You should either make your guest account the owner or change the permissions.
