Make sure that eth0 is your internal interface. You will also want to add 127.0.0.1 to that list if you want to use the SMB protocol on the hosting machine. > hosts allow = 192.170.0.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1 This is wrong. You should not be using 192.170.0.0/24 as a network. This is publicly routable address. Instead, use one of the class C subnets designed for private LAN's: 192.168.XXX.0/24, where XXX is 0 to 254. > log level = 1 > log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m > max log size = 1024 > printing = cups > printcap name = cups > printcap cache time = 750 > cups options = raw > map to guest = Bad User > include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf > logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile > logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile > logon drive = P: > add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody > -s /bin/false %m$ > domain logons = No > domain master = No This should be set to "auto" or "yes". This is the master browser for the local network, which gives you your workgroup browsing. You also need to enable WINS if you truly want to be able to open Explorer and see other hosts on the network. Look at the manpage for smb.conf(5) for more details. > netbios name = magicbox > security = user -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */
