    This is the first time I have ever had a problem setting up shares in Samba. Never had problems with my other distros so I'd like to know what I can do to get Samba going.

    Here is the output of smbtree -d3 as well as my smb.conf file. Let me know if I should post any other additional info. I'm using the new 12.04 revisted version of LXLE.

    <code>

        \\LXLER                  lxle server
    Connecting to host=LXLER
    resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name LXLER<0x20>
    resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name LXLER<0x20>
    resolve_wins: Attempting wins lookup for name LXLER<0x20>
    resolve_wins: WINS server resolution selected and no WINS servers listed.

    [global]

       workgroup = Workgroup

       netbios name = lxler

       server string = lxle server

       security = user

       map to guest = Bad Password

       printing = cups

       printcap name = cups

       load printers = yes

      

    [home]

       path = /home/randy

       writable = yes


      



      


    [printers]

       comment = All Printers

       path = /var/spool/samba

       browseable = no

       guest ok = yes

       writable = no

       printable = yes

    turn the built in firewall off, you must unlock first to see the state of the firewall, otherwise it will always show off, even when it isn't.

    That did it! Thanks!! I should have known to check the Firewall. Thanks for reminding me.
