My main system is a CentOS 5.1 64-bit desktop with gobs of disk and a couple of printers attached that work just fine. I have it set up with samba so my VMWare guest Windows XP can access most of the files and the printers.
But, when I try to connect to the printers from a remote machine that has a Win98/WinXP dual boot, I can't see the printers at all.
Both 98/XP can ping the host by IP address or by name (I've updated the host on both and the lmhost file on the 98 boot), but the 98 boot can't see the network at all, and the XP boot can't see anything on my CentOS box, although it at least sees that the box is there.
Here's my smb.conf:
# Global parameters [global] workgroup = MARKHOME domain master = yes preferred master = yes server string = Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap cups options = raw log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 password server = none username map = /etc/samba/smbusers socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 wins support = yes dns proxy = no idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = no
[homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S path = /home/%u create mask = 664 directory mask = 775 writeable = yes browseable = yes
[tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp writeable = yes guest ok = yes
[printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes printable = yes
What am I missing?
Thanks.
