I know this have been done to death in this forum, but here is what I have.
this is my smb.conf file:
[global] # this sets the work group and should match you windows work group workgroup = Rivett
# this string show up in your network neiborhood server string = Server
# these are my private ip networks behind my router firewall and localhost hosts allow = 192.168.x.0/24 172.x.0.0/16 127.0.0.1
# not really needed but could come in handy. generates a log file # for debugging log file = /var/log/log.%m
# sets max limit on file max log size = 50
# this i really struggled with. by setting the security to share you open #your share up to # anyone on your network without a password. if you set it to user then # a login is required. to use the login you # must have the next two lines or at least the encrypt password line. # you also need to use smbpasswd # to create a smb password. I eventually got this to work for file sharing # but could not get it working for # sharing my printer and eventually set security to share. security = share encrypt passwords = no smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
# this i set because i read it somewhere that it was needed for linux. # i don't have clue what it does. socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
# not sure if this is needed, i do not have a dns proxy but since it # works well i left it. dns proxy = no
# so i have one linux share on this network call kinux-share (don't ask about # the name). the path is to a directory # i created for sharing with other windows and linux boxes. make sure # that you set the permissions in the directory # for whatever you want to allow. if you want to allow files to written # then make it writable, etc. I would suggest # you try something simple and go from there. this is not trivial. good luck

comment = NetDocs path = /home/dsl/Docs guest ok = yes read only = no
After rebooting DSL box it no longer shows up in workgroup computers etc.
here is the folder I want to share /home/dsl/mnt/Box/Dsl_Share
Here is the properties of the folder: Users: Nobody Group: Users Permissions: drwxr-sr-x
any help would be most welcome.. only been using DSL for 12hrs Linux for 14 lol..
