Hi,
Well, I am not too sure what exactly do you mean by Samba is not
running,
but here's a couple of things that hopefully could help you...
-Are you able to use nmblookup <name of client>
i.e:
nmblookup myName
it should return an ip address of your machine with myName as following:
www.xxx.yyy.zzz. myName<00>
-Did you set the "hosts allow" correctly? Else it will deny basically all
connections.
-Did you read the documentation for encryption? There is some problem
with
the encrypted password and MS machines.
-Check the samba page, at www.samba.org, and under their documentation
section, there is this thing call "diagnostic."
-did you start smbd and nmbd correctly?
-is the client set correctly? (for MS machines, you need Client for MS
network)
well, I hope this helps...
Frankie
