Hi, I know that this question has been asked many times but i can't find the correct solution from anywhere. I have 4 computer on the LAN connected as follow. comp1(WinXP)---------------------------------> hub1---->router comp2(winXP)---------------------------------> hub1---->router

comp3(WinXP)wireless ---> access point----> hub1--->router comp4(CentOS 4.2)-------------------------------------->router

I have samba installed on CentOS 4.2 with SELinux enable, everything is up 2 dated. I use swat to make a share folder. testparm doesn't show anything suspicious. Connecting to samba share folder from the same CentOS machine is possible. However, my Windows XP machines can only see my linux machine through network neigbourhood but they can not access it. Here is my smb.conf --------------------------------------------------------------- # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2006/02/16 14:49:12

# Global parameters [global] workgroup = MSHOME ;note that encrypt passwd = yes and smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd by default [fat32Share] comment = Shared files from Darkportal path = /mnt/fat32/share valid users = user read only = No guest ok = Yes

[nimbus] comment = Samsung printer, the white one on Darkportal path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Do i have to open anyport to allow windows machines access samba shares? Does this have anything to do with SELinux? Any suggestion is welcomed. Thanks in advance Thai
