Here are some useful links I found: This one has ALL info you need to set it up, also its straight from the developers and written in a very clear way.
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html#id2551954 This one is for troubleshooting, it has helped me TONS of times to figure out what is happening. http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/diagnosis.html This one is for natty clients, specifies how to connect your clients to a server and provides various ways to do it. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Natty#Samba_File_Sharing Also I just read you said all on your server was good, if you are sure of that then you know its a client fix and you shouldnt touch the server. By your smb.conf I see you have a REALM setup as JOE.OFFICE.COM, do you have an Active Directory on this network? If you have then you need to join the AD domain before you do anything and you should have mentioned it when you first wrote email asking for help :D cause its an entirely different situation if you are on an AD domain than if you just want samba to handle everything. If you DONT have active directory, then there is no need for the JOE.OFFICE.COM realm, and you should verify also in your clients. I would suggest you start with the troubleshooting link (2nd one) and then come back with your results. Hope it helps! 2011/5/31 Diego Xirinachs <dxiri...@gmail.com> > In my experience.
