Hello Jurgen,
Thanks for joining my bandwagon. Maybe if enough
people agree something will be done. It's satisfying
to hear that I'm not the only one. I intended to add
my smb.conf file on this post but after thinking about
what to say and composing it, I just overlooked adding
it. It's copied at the end of this post. Maybe it'll
be of some help to you getting Samba to work, hope so.
To make it clear, my ubuntu computer's name is ubuntu
and that's what I added the netbios name as. Don't
give up, if I can get samba fully working anybody can
with effort, of course.
I do agree with you on the goodness of Ubuntu and it's
user groups and will eventually rid my other computer
of windows but there is room for improvement. Good
luck to you on Samba. Also, see my comment on DHCP
below.

I haven't joined this thread because I know little about Samba etc except that
I have had it working for several distros for the past 7 years. I don't
think it is that tough an issue. I have a 4 linux box system along with 3
WinXP boxes and have not had any trouble having them talk to each other.

I will include the smb.conf that I have been using all this time and will put
+++ IN FRONT of the lines I believe I have changed/added. Not very many
lines.

Note that this file gives me access to the ENTIRE machine, not just a
user /home or other setup. This is the way I want it. There is still file
write protection for those files not belonging to the user being used.

Note also, this file does not include a lot of things that the feisty smb.conf
includes because I always copy this file over from the last install and it
just works.

================= /etc/samba/smb.conf


# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.
