Hi Lawrence,

So you already have samba running.��

Try connecting to it from another computer on the same subnet ( 192.168.1.?). With your samba server on 192.168.1.200, verify that you can connect if you do:

ping 192.168.1.200

and

telnet 192.168.1.200 445

or��

telnet 192.168.1.200 139

If you can't ping at all then fix your connectivity first or use another computer.

If you can ping and you can't connect via telnet then you may have firewall blocking the connection.

If telnet says connected then the problem could be your samba config. In your testparm, your Global settings have issues. I suggest you start with a basic config file just like the Sample Passwordless Configuration in the following link:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba/Tips_and_tricks

Don't forget to restart samba or reboot your server after the config change.

Regards,

Noel

No, those two look fine.

And by default you also get IPv6 as well. :)

Maybe try smbclient?
