Set up samba by viing smb.conf. Set up two public shares on the linux box. Ran testparm and came up with a list of ssl* errors. Commented out those lines, (also left them in to see if they made any difference) assume that ssl is not compiled into the kernel. Pinged in both dircetions - OK. smbclient -L server gives list of shares. nmblookup -b serevr __SAMBA__ gives ip address of server. nmblookup -B pcclient give ip address of client.
nmblookup -d 2 "*" lists all addresses. smbclient //serevr/public logs on to the public directory.
On the PCs network neighbourhood lists all machines including the linux server and all shares on all machines. Can read and write to all shares specified in smb.conf.
On Server Komba2, Linneigborhood, Gnomba list all machines on the network and show all the shares on the server, but do not show any shares on the windows machines.
Thanks in advance
