i meant hosts allow in the smb.conf...

i can send you my smb conf if you like?

Are you using an interfact to configure it?

i found the KDE control panel really really good to use

Has the following ALL: 10.1.1.9 (the ip address of the router to the

The samba authentication mode is set to user

I tried to add a completely new user to see if that would help but it does
not

Hi,
Are you using User/Share level security


I found that the problem for me was setting which ip addresses where allowed access (in my subnet...) that was the major problem. this is my host allow for a particular share: I only want a few hosts to access...but you can define whole subnets too..

hosts allow = 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.45,192.168.0.45,192.168.1.123

i had share level security on it...but the security wasnt a problem,
because user level worked too fine (as long as a had matching
accounts/passwords)

could be to do with password encryption
(ie you need to turn it on in samba)

I hsve setup a samba server on a fedora 3 platform but am having trouble


connecting from windows xp. xp seems to recognise the share but the
password is not accepted (the password is right). the samba .config
seems to be ok. I have set it up before but this is the first time i
have had trouble.

Any ideas??!
