    Made all those changes still no go same error, here is the updated smb.conf:

    Code:
    [global]

    ath0?

    If bind interfaces only is set then unless the network address
    127.0.0.1 is added to the interfaces parameter list smbpasswd(8)
    and swat(8) may not work as expected due to the reasons covered
    below.
    the man page explicitly says not to use this option as it can mess up your configuration. why even set it? it looks like you're just setting random stuff. all i'm doing is comparing your config options to the descriptions in 'man smb.conf'. you can do this too. it's not hard.

    Easiest way to network Windows to Ubuntu that I've found (only one that works for me) is in my sig.

    here's my config and it works great. also check your router settings, especially when using a static IP. if your DNS settings are incorrect or something you will have issues. i ran into this.
    config:
    Code:
    [global]
        ; General server settings
        netbios name = big
        server string = big
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        announce version = 5.0
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
    
        passdb backend = smbpasswd
        security = share
        null passwords = true
        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
        name resolve order = wins bcast hosts
    
        wins support = yes
    
    ;    printing = CUPS
    ;    printcap name = CUPS
    
        syslog = 1
        syslog only = yes

    Re: HOWTO: Setup Samba peer-to-peer with Windows

    BLTicklemonster:

    I went through your write up and when I tried to access shares from my windows pc on my linux box I was able to see the workgroup but when I tried to view the contents I got the following error:

    The folder contents could not be displayed.

    Sorry couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network:jbk"

    moonlightcheese

    Yes I was trying random things but I had gone through the original howto twice and had no luck. No matter how I set things up I was getting the same error.

    I have my router setup to give each computer on the network a static ip based on their MAC address.

    Try backing up smb.cnf (whatever) then remove everything in it, reboot, and start over with a clean state. I had to do that, and it worked.

    Re: HOWTO: Setup Samba peer-to-peer with Windows

    For those in Kubuntu, the config interface worked fine for me in Kubuntu when I followed the kubunutguide - very simple.

    http://kubuntuguide.org/Gutsy#Filesharing

    Important to note that the GUI has a bug that puts problematic lines in:

    Code:
    Note: If you use Sharing in KDE's System Settings panel, be aware there's a small bug, reported here: 
    
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdenetwork/+bug/95452 To 
    
    summarize, you need to comment out/delete any instances of these two lines in /etc/smb.conf :
    
    case sensitive
    msdfs proxy

    Just for clarification, is router set to give dynamic there or static IP? If truly static, then your computers need to be set for static as well. If dynamic, then computers need to be set dynamic. Think static is easier for some with file-sharing.

    Hope that helps
    Fellow traveler on the path to ubuntu.
