I am trying to share windows clients with my linux systems. On windows I am using "omninfs" wich works fine from windows to linux, but I have that currently disabled on windows. The problem is with samba. I am able to see the name of the server in every win95/98 client in network neighborhood, but when I click on the computer (linuxsambaserver) I was getting "network busy error" so by editing the hosts file I did not get that error anymore. The new error "\\Xresearchserver is not accessible." ( The specified computer did not recieve your request. Try again later.)
My samba server is operated by RedHat 6.1 2.2.12 kernel.
The smb.conf file is as configured:
email lxfrank90@hotmail.com
so that I can email you a copy of the smb.conf file if anyone can help me.
thanks.

You should try to go to and look for a Troubleshooting guide. Follow exactly the instructions you're gonna find there (They're gonna ask you to configure samba the way they want to, for debugging), and you're gonna solve your problem with ease.
Good Luck
