[SOLVED] Configuring some samba folders to share within a lan

Hi everyone,

reading some samba guides like this: [arch wiki about samba] and this: [samba walkthroughs].

I'm trying to share my /home/myuser/Public and my /home/myuser/Music folders
I'm trying to set as minimal configuration as I can.

This is smb.conf

[global]
workgroup = MINIREDE
netbios name = inmypc
[thepublic]
path = /home/myuser/Public
[themusic]
path = /home/myuser/Music

I did

sudo systemctl start smbd.service

Now I'm trying to find the shares with my windows:
\\inmypc\thepublic \\inmypc\themusic and this DOESN'T WORK

I think I've mistaken how the server name is done and how to connect it.
Any idea?

Are you sure you followed our wiki's samba page?  More steps are required.

Re: [SOLVED] Configuring some samba folders to share within a lan

Hi again!!
Thanks for your advice @graysky.

I've re-reading the wiki and guessing a lot of things, and... I'm sorry. I've choosen the easy way installing system-config-samba package and I did everything through its GUI.

I think i don't know how to make interpretation of what I read into what I need.
I understand smb.conf file, port opening with ufw and service enabling but the mounting thing was quite hard to know what and where to mount.

If I have the time I'll check the files to know how things are configured and maybe I can make a personal instruction list to a homemade (and handmade) sharing configuration.
