I don't have all the settings in front f me, but if you google "samba ubuntu public file server", you should find something. I will try to dig something and send it to you. I found this article. It is quite complete and I think this is the one I used to setup my own server. It covers more than what you need, but it is a great starting point: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=94065b40e9980a766d619e8f1f8accb0&t=202605 JF -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [oclug] Sharing folders Ubuntu/Windoze From: Andy Civil <[email protected]> Date: Fri, May 30, 2008 1:58 pm To: General Membership Discussion List <[email protected]> Jean-Francois Messier wrote: > Have you looked at smbpasswd ?

No, but I have now :-) It took my "old, new and new passwords" and announced: could not connect to machine 127.0.0.1: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE failed to change password for andy retyped... I know I should copy and paste, but... well... I'm having this sharing problem ;-) Incidentally, I found the settings that I had originally chosen during the setup wizard, under System Administration Shared Folders (choose folder) Properties General Windows Sharing Settings And under the thing I'm suspicious about (WINS server): 1 - Do not use a WINS server 2 - This computer is a WINS server 3 - Use [___________] I tried all three, (and backed out, but didn't re-boot the computer) without any difference on the Windows PC end. Oh, and under "Domain\Workgroup" I only have the workgroup... but I THINK that's working because I see the host description, under that workgroup, from the Windows PC. > Or, you can setup a publicly, > widely open share.
