It makes things much more transparent if you do both of those. Otherwise you'll get a login/password popup every time you try to connect. You also need to point samba at your domain controller as a password server if you have one or make a local windows-acceptable password with smbpasswd -a username on the Linux server. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx ---------------------------------------------------------------- ok.... update. it appears that i can now see the linux "share/folder" in the windows network. i can in fact copy a file to the linux folder on the linux box, see the file on the windows box, and copy the file to another folder on the windows box... however, when i try to copy a windows file and place it in the samba share on the windows side, i get an "access denied" message... i never get prompted for a user/passwd... thoughts/comments.. -bruce my smb.conf is #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = Mesa # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = Samba1 Server # This option is important for security.
