Okay my smb.conf file is correct. Firewall is configured correctly to allow Samba on local network. smbd and nmbd are running. Her computer still cannot connect to my printer share. I read my Samba version wrong its actually 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1, here is my smb.conf:
[global] workgroup = HOME realm = SHAUN server string = Samba Server security = SHARE encrypt passwords = No log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 dns proxy = No wins support = Yes ldap ssl = no admin users = shaun read list = shaun write list = shaun printer admin = shaun cups options = raw [printers] comment = All Printers path = /usr/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes browseable = No [LaserJet_4] comment = HP LaserJet 4/4M path = /usr/spool/samba read only = No guest ok = Yes printable = Yes printer name = LaserJet_4 oplocks = No share modes = No I am using Fedora Core 5 She has Windows XP Media Center Edition. I cannot see her computer at all when I try to browse with smb4k or with my file manager. She cannot can see my computer if I scan from her station but she cannot connect to me. I ran a scan on SMB ports from her and they show as open so she should see my printer but doesn't. My firewall is reporting the attempt of ports like 35578 attempting to make an inbound connection from her. Did MS change things again or is there something else? --Shaun -- It isn't about it being free.
