Issues with samba

[mjfroggy]

Hello,

I have setup a new home server (trying to get better at setting ubuntu lamp boxes). I was able to setup samba once before but this time for what ever reason I cant get it working. I sudp apt-get install samba and then config the smb.conf file I edited

My issue is I still can not map to the server from my windows desktop. I am able to ssh in and of course get to the box in a browser via http

So I am thinking my config file is not correct. I also made sure I setup a user in the smbusers file

in my smb.conf file I have made sure the following is uncommented
security = user
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
writable = yes
valid users = %S

any suggestions would be appriciated.
Thanks

I presume that's just a sampling from smb.conf (you have [global] and [homes])? You created a user via smbpasswd?
