Unabled to Access My Shares

I installed Samba and attempted at configuring it. When trying to connect to a share from my Windows computer it says:

\\OIB\SharedDocs is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

The network path was not found.

This is my smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN ()
# Date: 2009/07/12 12:55:28

[global]
    workgroup = HOME
    server string = Samba Server
    security = share
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
    max log size = 50
    dns proxy = No

[SharedDocs]
    comment = Shared Documents
    path = ~/SharedDocs
    read only = no
    writable = yes
    public = yes

[homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    read only = No
    browseable = No

[printers]
    comment = All Printers
    path = /var/spool/samba
    printable = Yes
    browseable = No

Re: Unabled to Access My Shares

Im no expert in samba, but there is alot of information missing in the smb.conf file. You should check the samba wiki entry here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba

Im not really sure of everiithing thats missing but at least you are missin the workplace and hsotname entries in smb.conf

Hope this helps

Well that's because I thought using SWAT would be easier, and SWAT appears to rewrite your smb.conf in a somewhat different manner, except every tutorial on configuring samba has their smb.conf written like that.

As I said im no expert in samba. I use webmin to manage a smb domain controler runing in arch. I would recommend installing webmin and working with it instead of swat.

I'd prefer using Samba.
