Samba

[mxpx5555]

i've read through many posts and tried many things but to no avail. i have samba running, and i have a share setup. I can view my samba server from windows network neighborhood, but i get the famous "\\proxy is not accessible. you might not have permission to use this network resource.....the network path was not found." I am running Fedora Core 4 and i initially set samba up using the graphical interface supplied w/ FD4....this is the config file that it constructed. Any and all help would greatly be appreciated. Here is my smb.conf file:

[global]
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
template shell = /bin/false
winbind use default domain = no
security = share
encrypt passwords = no
guest ok = yes
guest account = administrator
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
printable = yes
[share]
path = /root/Desktop/share
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
comment = my share


THANK YOU!!!

Are the file and directory permissions set correctly to allow "others" access?

yes, they are set to full permissions (read, write, execute)

EXCELLENT--it turned out to be exactly what you wrote in your previouse post. I turned off the firewall in Fedora Core 4 and with some other minor changes, it worked. Thank you very much!!!
