connecting XP to samba 3

[jethro374]

I am trying to setup Samba(3.0.7-2) on a Fedora 2 (kernel 2.6.8-1.521)
machine. I can't connect to the samba machine from any Windows machine on
my network. I can connect to the windows machines from the Fedora machine
using:

smbclient //windows machine/c$ -U=(my user account) and copy files back
and forth.

I can also smbclient //localhost/homes -U=(my user account) from the linux machine

I was able to join the Samba machine to the AD and the machine does show
in the Computers OU in AD.

I can wbinfo -u and -g and see the users and groups in the AD.

When I try to connect to the samba machine from XP using net use x: \\samba_machine_name\homes I get the following error message:

"\\cooper is not accessible. You might not have permisson to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions.

The network path was not found.

The contents of my smb.conf file is:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = CSUNET
realm = CSUNIV.EDU
server string = Samba Server %v on %L
interfaces = eth0
security = ADS
os level = 33
local master = No
domain master = No
wins server = 192.168.0.8
ldap ssl = no
winbind use default domain = Yes

[Homes]
comment = %u Home Directory
path = /home/%u

Any Ideas?
Please let me know if you need more information

I am using a windows 2000 AD in mixed mode.

Thanks

Does your samba log on your fedora box give any clues?

There is nothing in it except for the following entries

[root@cooper samba]# less smbd.log

Just had similar problems and I had enabled the firewall in the FD2 setup. Loaded again and disabled it and it resolved that problem.
I am a newby so do not know if this helps at all. Just my grain of mustard seed.
