 RE: </DIV>I believe the older samba defaulted to a setting 
 "share=user" , change that to "share=share". If it is set to "user", that is 
 probably your problem. Make that change in the global settings if you wish to 
 have all shares that way. On Tue, 2002-04-16 at 07:10, Riga, Anthony

Tony,

You may want to also do a couple of things..

1. make sure samba daemon is running..

[chaz at bleys chaz]$ ps -A | grep mb
 507 ? 00:00:00 smbd
 517 ? 00:00:00 nmbd

You should see output such as that..

2. Check your config file (/etc/smb.conf) and ensure that access is allowed..
Similar to this..

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
 hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.0.0.

That's a start.. look for that and let us know your progress..

&gt;I installed &amp;.2 Redhat on my second hard drive dual boot and it worked out 
&gt;ok. It has some really nice features. I also installed Samba because I 
&gt;want to learn it. When I try to use SWAT on the web browser it dosent let 
&gt;me connect to SWAT. It gives me an error 127.0.0.1:901 it wont open the 
&gt;port. I went the Samba.org page for help and did everything possible to 
&gt;get it to work. I can ping 127.0.0.1 and get a response. Has any one set 
&gt;up Samba and had these issues? I really need help. Also every once in 
&gt;awhile on 7.2 I lose my start menu. It just disappears. Has anyone had 
&gt;this problem before happen. I have too log out and log in to get them back!
