[PROBLEM SOLVED!] Problems with sharing files with SAMBA over network!

Hello,

I use Arch Linux now several times and everything works fine, but I got a problem by sharing files with SAMBA. Couls someone help me? My network traffic goes over eth0, I have IPtables and SAMBA running and I use an up to date Arch Linux installation. When I open Nautilus or Gnome Commander and I search on the network, I can 't see anyone! I am invisible too and there is no Workgroup displayed. My father got Winblows XP and I am visible but not browsable for him! Below this message I print my smb.conf:

smb.conf:

Re: [PROBLEM SOLVED!] Problems with sharing files with SAMBA over network!

have you tried a simple smb.conf without any security stuff to see if it works for you?

[global]
netbios name = Arqon-pc
server string = Samba file and print server
workgroup = MSHOME
security = share
preserve case = no
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.1.
interfaces = 127.0.0.1/8 192.168.1.0/24
remote announce = 192.168.1.255
remote browse sync = 192.168.1.255

change the IPs as required for your network.

after this put your samba shares (such as [Muziek]), and see if others can browse your shares.

if you're using iptables........ are the correct ports open?

Re: [PROBLEM SOLVED!] Problems with sharing files with SAMBA over network!

Hello,

A lot of thanks to Darkarchon. I am happy with his smb.conf and with his note about IPtables. Because IPtables was the problem. I searched on the internet and I tried several tutorials, but nothing worked. Now I don 't have any firewall running, but I runned several tests at http://www.pcflank.com and they said that my PC is protected very well.
Happy Christmas to all!
