Samba Share Problems

Hi Guys,

I've been trying to set up samba on my server and I've managed to get my printer sharing (very happy as this wouldn't work with windoze!). The only problem is I cant seem to access the shares I've created. Whenever I try to access them from a Windows machine (windows 7), the login dialogue pops up, but it doesn't log me in with any account from the server. I've tried using SWAT and Webmin to get it to work. Could anyone please tell me how to fix this?

Heres my smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (0.0.0.0)
# Date: 2010/06/07 16:08:08

[global]
    workgroup = MSHOME
    security = SHARE
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
    max log size = 50
    deadtime = 5
    dns proxy = No
    default service = share
    comment = Canon iP4600 Printer
    path = /media/mirror/share
    printer name = Canon-iP4600

[homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    read only = No

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

[share]
    comment = 
    valid users = luke
    read only = No

[Canon-iP4600]
    comment = Canon iP4600 series
    path = /var/spool/samba
    read only = No
    guest ok = Yes
    printable = Yes
    oplocks = No
    share modes = No

Thanks,

Luke

Re: Samba Share Problems

1. There is no path to whatever you are sharing?

2. Have you set up smbpasswd?
