If I map it directly, like \\mhullrichter\homes, I get this: I also tried \\mhullrichter\mark, which is works with smbclient on the host itself (but not from Windows), I get this: It's like the host is visible, but not connectible. PS: Here is what my smb.conf file now looks like, per Bart's suggestion (almost): [root at mhullrichter samba]# cat smb.conf # Global parameters [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = CentOS Samba Server security = SHARE printcap name = /etc/printcap log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = No template shell = /bin/false password server = None username map = /etc/samba/smbusers winbind use default domain = no idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [public] comment = Data path = /home/mark force user = mark force group = users read only = No guest ok = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No I don't really care about the printers (they actually work better from the Windows side), but this is annoying. I must be overlooking something. BTW, I also added user mark to the smbusers file, so I'm lost here.... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
