EDIT**
I fixed it. After hours of searching I finally stumbled upon this thread.

I tried removing samba then re-installing it and just editing the original conf file to the paramiters in the original post, it worked I hope this can help someone because I know it frustrated me for the better part of a day.
-------------------------------------------------------
First one great install guide it was very clear and easy to understand.
I am having a bit of a problem getting my windows box to connect however.
My windows box is running Win XP Home and my linux box is running Ubuntu 7.10 server edition.
I have it set up for WINS with and my linux box set with a static ip on the network. Everything works fine until I try to map the network drive. If i hit browse it lists the network and will open the computer and navigate to the share folder. However when I hit finish to map it it waits about 20sec and spits out this error: "The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occured. An extended error has occured."
I went throught the entire setup and have everything running properly on my linux box as far as I can tell anyways. I double checked the user login info on both computers to make sure they match. Here is the config.
Code:
[global]
; General server settings
netbios name = servername
workgroup = workgroup
announce version = 5.0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
passdb backend = tdbsam
security = user
null passwords = true
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
name resolve order = hosts wins bcast
wins support = yes
printing = CUPS
printcap name = CUPS
syslog = 1
syslog only = yes
; NOTE: If you need access to the user home directories uncomment the
; lines below and adjust the settings to your hearts content.
;[homes]
;valid users = %S
;create mode = 0600
;directory mode = 0755
;browseable = no
;read only = no
;veto files = /*.{*}/.*/mail/bin/
; NOTE: Only needed if you run samba as a primary domain controller.
; Not needed as this config doesn't cover that matter.
;[netlogon]
;path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
;admin users = Administrator
;valid users = %U
;read only = no
; NOTE: Again - only needed if you're running a primary domain controller.
;[Profiles]
;path = /var/lib/samba/profiles
;valid users = %U
;create mode = 0600
;directory mode = 0700
;writeable = yes
;browseable = no
; NOTE: Inside this place you may build a printer driver repository for
; Windows - I'll cover this topic in another HOWTO.
[print$]
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
write list = root
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
[printers]
path = /tmp
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
browseable = no
; Uncomment if you need to share your CD-/DVD-ROM Drive
;[DVD-ROM Drive]
;path = /media/cdrom
;browseable = yes
;read only = yes
;guest ok = yes
[MyFiles]
path = /home/samba
read only = no
guest ok = nod
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
force user = administrator
force group = administrator
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
This is the error output:
Code:

Any help would be great appreciated as I'm completely lost with all this.
