Not much of a Samba user, but when I stuggled through getting it working I found Swat was helpful. Some things only worked properly when windbindd was running, check service winbind status Also make sure you poked some holes in your firewall iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 137:139 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT If it still didn't work I would fire up tcpdump and look to see if the Linux box is broadcasting its existence and name. -Andy
