Thanks to all who gave it their best shot to assist me. After double checking my log files again I noticed in /var/log/messages that nmbd was trying to communicate with my Wireless NIC instead of the Ethernet NIC. I disabled the Wireless NIC temporarily and then I double checked the settings on the Ethernet NIC. It turnes out I had mistyped the subnet mask. I corrected this and now I can access Samba from windows. I reenabled the wireless NIC and everything is working wonderfully now.

Looks like the soak in the Jacuzzi really helped clear my head. :-D Thanks again to all who gave me advice

Just another easy try, did you install SP2 on XP? Is the firewall on?
Cheers

Hi, it could be a stupid thing to try, but I was thinking you could try to connect using "net use". This way you provide credential even if you're not prompted.

net use Z: \\ipsambaserver\sharename /USER:jason password:yourpassword

Have a nice day

My Windows XP account name is Jason with the same password that I use for samba.

I do not see anywhere in windows where I can configure anything. When I go into "My Network Places" on Windows XP and choose "View Workgroup Computers". I see the samba server icon. When I double click it it does not give me any prompt for a username and password. It just pops up that error message that I pasted in my initial email. If there is an area in Windows XP that I need to configure. Please let me know

Jason

I just created the samba user 'jason' now. However, it never prompts me to enter in a username or password. Is there some security setting that I need to enable on the samba side to make it prompt me when I double click on the icon in Windows XP?

I am trying to setup a samba server on Redhat Fedora 2 and trying to connect to it through Windows XP Professional.
This samba server is a standalone server. I can see it in the Network Places. Every time I try to connect to it I get the following error in Windows.


"\\Samba is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found."

Here is my smb.conf file that I created using SWAT. Can anyone help me?

Thank You

Did you create username " jason " on server as a samba user??

smbpasswd -a jason

Then enter password, and when later try to connect to server suply that username and password.

I think that samba will allways ask you for username and password, when try to connect. Maybe you should do some configuration with your windows machine.



Try to log on your win box with the same username and pass, as you created them on samba server. , and if it works it could be problem with win configuration,...
or
Check samba status /etc/init.d/smb status /etc/init.d/nmb status
or
Check local file permission on share that you want to access. Samba is configured to allow access to share to Jason, but local file permission should be configured to allow him access to. When you try to access some share, it's chesked local and share permission.
