Okay I have winxp running under vmware WS/player and sharing files with samba perfectly under edgy.
Now I thought okay, lets try this under feisty.
So I copied the /etc/samba/smb.conf file from edgy to feisty, changed the user names approprietly, set up my shares and users exactly as in edgy, and changed the computername to the same one as edgy so I didn't have to fool around with changing to winxp network setup.
I do a sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart then try and find my shares respect. open them in Konqueror / Networkfiles /sambashares and get this when clicking on a share:
Die Datei oder der Ordner smb://fintanws2/DATA existiert nicht. Or in english:
This file or directory smb://fintanws2/Data does not exsist or something to that extent.
A reboot does not help either.
I can see my workgroup, winxp sees it as well but I cannot access the files on the share.
I have looked around here but to no avail.
Am I missing something??
EDIT: I just rebooted because I wanted to check my edgy settings again. After reboot I get this from konqueror/networkfiles/sambashares:
Es ist keine Arbeitsgruppe im lokalen Netzwerk auffindbar. Dies könnte durch eine aktivierte Firewall verursacht werden. Meaning: no workgroup available. This could be due to an active firewall.
Well I don't have a firewall and my workgroup showed up before reboot. Wad up??
Here's my /etc/samba/smb.conf just for reference:

Some more reference:

Is samba for feisty not quite ready yet?
Using sm4k is useless as well because after a search it will find the workgroup but then it asks me for a user and password. None have been defined and my user/sudo passwords don't work.
EDIT: As I stated I can see the workgroup and the workstation (computername xyzws2) in kongueror by doing smb:/ but trying to open Data still gives file or directory smb://xyzws2/Data does not exsist.
The only difference that I can see between my edgy and feisty smb is in the fstab where all hda's in edgy are replaced by sda's in feisty. Could this be the problem??
I am at a loss.
