[solved]new to samba and cant get it to work!

Hi,

I have never set up a share on a network, but am setting up a media center, and want to be able to share all the files. So i thought samba would be the way to do this.

I have followed the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba and have some promising signs, but not there.

So far;
smbnetfs daemon started
samba daemon started
I am trying to test if the share is working, so have the samba server up on the same machine i am trying to access it from. I browse to the following location which is completely empty!

/mnt/smbnet/MEDIACENTER/ARCHLINUX/public

/etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
   workgroup = MEDIACENTER
   server string = Samba Server
   hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.
   load printers = no
  guest account = danny
   log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
   max log size = 50
   dns proxy = no 

[public]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /home/danny
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = no

any ideas where i have gone wrong? thanks
