that's my smb.conf file on both linux machines
i've registered a user on both machines with smbpasswd -a
i can see them in the network browser but they will not connect to the opposite one. Example: Laptop can connect to Laptop Public but not Garage Public even though it can see Garage Public. And standing at the Garage Desktop: Garage can connect to Garage Public but not Laptop Public even though it can see Laptop Public on the network.
I can not connect via smb://Garage/Public either...
I've also tried the connect to server option in the places menu, no luck.
What does work is installing SMB4k and using it to handle the shares... but i don't like it and it seems pointless to use extra software if Samba can do this configured properly. I'm sorry if i missed something and take it easy on me cause i'm a linux retard. But if it makes you feel better i concede 15+ years of die hard windows use to just 3 days of Ubuntu Ibex before i wiped Vista completely off two of my 4 machines. Help me with this and i swear no more windows.
