I am trying to set up a samba server with a Window XP Home client. I'm able to access the share from the Linux server, and can 'see' the samba server in the Windows client, but when I attempt to access the server from the XP client, I get a message that says:

\\server is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this resource.
Contact the administrator to find out if you have access permissions.


No service is operating at the endpoint on the remote system


My share name is /samba and permsions are 777.


This command works fine from the server side: smbclient -L servername -N

This is my (simple) smb.conf file:

[global]
   workgroup =  workgroupname
   netbios name = servername
   password server = None
   guest ok = yes
   guest account = dave
   security = SHARE

[samba]
   path = /samba
   writeable = yes
   guest ok = yes

I would think that what I'm trying to do would be pretty simple. Has anyone else run into this?
