Workgroup appears but can't browse

[programx]

Hi

Installed SuSE 9.1 Pro a while back and now need to get Samba working, which has not previously been a problem for me. (WinXP Pro client)

Unfortunately, despite my efforts, I cannot get it to work. My server appears in the domain, but when I browse I get the Windows error: "\\Aragorn [server name] is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the network resource. Network path was not found"

This is my [global] section:

[global]
workgroup = PROGRAMX
interfaces = 127.0.0.1 eth0
bind interfaces only = true
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printer admin = @ntadmin, root, administrator
map to guest = nathan
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
server string = Samba Server
netbios name = Aragorn
add machine script =
domain master = false
domain logons = no
local master = yes
preferred master = auto
ldap suffix = dc=example,dc=com
passdb backend = smbpasswd
log level = 2
browsable = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1.
guest ok = yes
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

As you can see, my Linux username is 'nathan', which is mapped in smbusers to my windows username 'nathan pledger'. This user is also in smbpasswd:

smbpasswd -a nathan ******

Can anyone please help, as I have just bought an expensive Audiotron that needs to access this server!

Thanks in advance.

I should also add that I can connect fine using smbclient.

I cannot find any firewall software in the ps ax output on my Linux server, but I may have missed some. Surely the workgroup wouldn't appear if there was any?

Nothing of interest in the samba log files ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi,

It turned out SuSE has a firewall inside the kernel. Hence no processes appearing on the ps ax.

Thanks for your input anyway.
