Webmin help plzz :( ?

You can either use webmin to add users by clicking on the "convert unix users to samba users" or what I think is easier via the command line: # smbpasswd -a username

thats what i did dave #smbpasswd -a username and it worked :) .. but now 2nd problem is my all machines can see Samba Server but i cant see any other pc on network just Samba server not even my pc :( .. plus some times it just freeze my network & also it wont let me print / conntect to my printer it says Access denied even when im conntected to server :/ plz help me in this matter i do want a Linux Print / File server :) Thanks for you help in Advance $olja

What are you using to browse your network? You can use something like linneighbourhood or gnomba (which are dedicated apps for browsing windoze networks) or possibly your file browser. Both konqueror and nautilus support smb, just put "smb:/" (without the quotes) into the location bar. xffm (the xfce default browser) also supports smb and I'm sure others do too. Also make sure you are also running nmbd as well as smbd.

ok i think im saying it the wrong way but what im trying to say is 1)I cant see my network (workgroup) from windows machines when SMB server is runing. when its turned off then i can! 2) i cant print :/ it says access denied but printer is hooked and i can print test page from linux box only! 3)some time my network freeze when smb server is up :/ these are the 3 most / big problems im having plz plz plz help :) But thank you dave you rock :) $oLjA

1) Make sure that in your smb.conf file you have "local master = no" "preferred master = no" and "os level = 33" 2) Again in smb.conf, for each printer "printable = Yes" and "guest ok = yes". I don't think you need it but you could also try "public = yes" 3) Doing what's mentioned in number 1 might help.... What security level are you running, user, share, server or domain? You could try changing between user and share to see if that helps. Don't forget to restart the samba services each time you modify smb.conf. # /etc/rc.d/rc.samba restart

ok now doing the stuff you told me do server is runing fine .. but i can't loginto that sucker now ! keep telling me close other connections to login :/ .. so im working on that part .. but thanks :) $oLjA
