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..
