That is my home work space for about 3 years now, compact and BORING...

Do you guys have any suggestions for imroving it or making it neater?

On linux try smbclient -L windows_box_name. Also are you sure you have your samba users set up. It doesn't really matter how you set up your Windows folders as long as they are marked shared (also check who can share them). Have you tried to access them as Administrator? You may want to post your samba config file (/etc/samba/smb.conf).

What do you mean to set up samba users? Tell me more about it please.

Here my smb.conf:

 
[global]
workgroup = HOME
message command = /usr/bin/linpopup "%f" "%m" %s; rm %s
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printer admin = @adm
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
map to guest = bad user
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
unix password sync = Yes
pam password change = yes
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Re*ype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n \
;*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[print$]
  path = /var/lib/samba/printers
  browseable = yes
  write list = @adm root
  guest ok = yes
  inherit permissions = yes
[pdf-gen]
  path = /var/tmp
  guest ok = No
  printable = Yes
  comment = PDF Generator (only valid users)
  printing = bsd
  printcap name = cups
  #print command = /usr/share/samba/scripts/print-pdf file path win_path recipient IP &
  print command = /usr/share/samba/scripts/print-pdf "%s" "%H" "//%L/%u" "%m" "%I" "%J" &
   lpq command = /bin/true
[ILIA_SHARE]
  path = /home/ilia/Share
  comment = /home/ilia/Share
  public = yes
  guest ok = yes
  writable = yes
  wide links = no

How did you configured your XP box, maybe i do something wrong

try to check if XP's firewall prevents linux to get in, also try to use konqueror then at the location, type smb://<ip of xp> then when prompted with passwd, try to use the admin account

I think i've tryed everything, is there anybody who actually succedded to network Linux & XP ?

The easyest way to acces a XP folder from a linux box is to put the folders you want to share on the shared folders section of XP.

Another recommendation is to put the two machines in the mdkgroup workgroup. It helps when you will import XP folders into linux via the samba mounting points.

Ciao.

Linux & XP are at the same workgroup "HOME", i share a 'shared documents' folder, but it still doesn't work

I configured samba according to NT-06: How to setup Samba Networking

In smb4k i get this error message" NT_STATUS_OK

I don't really know how to setup XP, i just share an entire drive

The network does work, because i share internet connection on XP throu a proxy

After i finally configured the network at my home, i encountered a broblem:

-from my XP box i can view and modify linux shared folders

-from linux box i can't see the XP shares altough i can see the XP host in smb4k

Can somebody help me?
