Hey Ben,Lee,
Well I'm thinking that maybe the firewall is blocking the ports that SMB uses. I'm not sure what those ports are, there are several on both TCP and UDP. To quickly test to see if it is the firewall I would either open it up or disable it entirely. I don't know how your network is setup or if that's possible but if you are going to do it, it would be best to make sure the machines do not have an Internet connect while the firewall is open. At least this way you could quickly eliminate the firewall from the equation. Let me know how it goes.
Carefull!!!! Samba, as a unix/linux implementation of the Microsoft SMB protocol, uses the same ports as Microsoft Windows file/printer sharing. Disabling firewall blocking of these ports would leave any windows clients on your network vulnerable to a plethora of nasty programs on the 'net.
Ben
Thanks for that bit of info. For sure I will keep that in mind.
Thanks again.
