trying to use swat to share a directory form linux onto a windows
machine.

Setup is:
1 linux (mandrake 9) machine, plugged into adsl router, port: 10.0.0.9
1 windows (XP) machine, plugged into router, port: 10.0.0.6

smb.conf is attached, but I think it is ok.

The windows machine can /see/ the samba workgroup, but can't connect to
it.

This leads me to assume the router /isn't/ stopping samba from working
between the machines.
But I don't know what is going wrong.

Under mandrake, I had the default firewall running, and even turned that
fully off. But still could not connect.

Any advice? Please?

many thanks!
