    Vista accesses Kubuntu but Kubuntu wont access vista.

    I'm trying to get my home network up and running. But I have gotten to a snag.

    My wifes vista computer can see and access my Kubuntu laptop and it's shared files with no problem. In fact in vista I was able to map to my Kubuntu "My Files" folder and I am able to access it.

    However in Kubuntu when I go into Dolphin and open the Network>Samba Shares>Jeremy (my workgroup)> Home (the vista desktop). But at this point when I click on the vista computer it blanks out the dolphin window pane and wont list any files or folders. Then after a few seconds it shows a message on the bottom of the dolphin panel that says "Timeout on server home". It doesn't even give an opportunity to enter a username or password.

    I followed the following guide to setup samba: "HOWTO:Setup Samba peer-to-peer with Windows" at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605

    I also have attached a copy of my smb.conf file.
    [global]
    ; General server settings
    netbios name = Jm
    server string =
    workgroup = JEREMY
    announce version = 5.0
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

    passdb backend = tdbsam
    security = user
    null passwords = true
    username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
    name resolve order = hosts wins bcast

    wins support = yes

    printing = CUPS
    printcap name = CUPS

    syslog = 1
    syslog only = yes

    ; NOTE: If you need access to the user home directories uncomment the
    ; lines below and adjust the settings to your hearts content.
    [homes]
    valid users = %S
    create mode = 0600
    directory mode = 0755
    browseable = yes
    read only = no
    veto files = /*.{*}/.*/mail/bin/

    ; NOTE: Only needed if you run samba as a primary domain controller.
    ; Not needed as this config doesn't cover that matter.
    [netlogon]
    path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
    admin users = Administrator
    valid users = %U
    read only = no

    ; NOTE: Again - only needed if you're running a primary domain controller.
    [Profiles]
    path = /var/lib/samba/profiles
    valid users = %U
    create mode = 0600
    directory mode = 0700
    writeable = yes
    browseable = no

    ; NOTE: Inside this place you may build a printer driver repository for
    ; Windows - I'll cover this topic in another HOWTO.
    [print$]
    path = /var/lib/samba/printers
    browseable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    read only = yes
    write list = root
    create mask = 0664
    directory mask = 0775

    [printers]
    path = /tmp
    printable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    browseable = no

    ; Uncomment if you need to share your CD-/DVD-ROM Drive
    [DVD-ROM Drive]
    path = /media/cdrom
    browseable = yes
    read only = yes
    guest ok = yes

    [MyFiles]
    path = /home/jm/
    browseable = yes
    read only = no
    guest ok = yes
    create mask = 0644
    directory mask = 0755
    force user = jm
    force group = jm

    [Documents]
    path = /home/jm/Documents
    read only = no

    [Downloads]
    path = /home/jm/Downloads
    read only = no

    [Music]
    path = /home/jm/Music
    read only = no

    [smb4k]
    path = /home/jm/smb4k
    read only = no

    [Templates]
    path = /home/jm/Templates
    read only = no

    [Videos]
    path = /home/jm/Videos
    read only = no

    [Jeremy]
    path = /media/Jeremy
    read only = no

    [Public]
    path = /home/jm/Public
    read only = no

    [Desktop]
    path = /home/jm/Desktop
    read only = no
    Dose anyone see anything that I missed or messed up on? Is their something in vista that I may need to configure? The message "Timeout on server home" seems to indicate that vista is trying to act as a server. If thats what its indicating could that be the problem?

    Thanks for your advice.
