Hi,
I have a network in my room with three computers right now, two connected to a Lynksys router, that router is
connected to a wider network, then to the internet.
The three computers i have in my room are:
laptop running Windows Server 2003, connected to a wireless router
desktop running Windows Server 2003, connected to the router in my room
desktop running Mandrake 9.2 connected to the router in my room
i'm trying to get my mandrake 9.2 to run a samba server that will allow my two windows 2003 computers to access
shares on it. i do not have a domain controller, just a small home network with a few routers. i am having alot
of trouble getting the samba server to work correctly. First, when i use LinNeighborhood, i can see all my
other windows computers on my network. When i open Network Places on my windows 2003 computers, i cannot
see my mandrake machine shares. however, if i go to Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network i see my
workgroup name (MSHOME) but i also see an additional workgroup named MDKGROUP. When i open MDKGROUP it
says "unable to open mdkgroup, you might not have permission blah blah" but earlier, i COULD open it, and
when i did i saw a Samba Server vsomething.something(LOCALHOST). and when i opened that, i say the folder
on the mandrake box that i was sharing, b
ut when i tried to open it, it gave me an error saying i didnt have permission. i'm very confused
and cant seem to even browse my mandrake shares. im also confused as to why there is a MDKGROUP workgroup,
when i specified "workgroup = MSHOME" in my smb.conf. can someone PLEASE help me? thanks in advance
