Forum: Geek Forum Topic: SAMBA help started by: Spydir Web Posted by Spydir Web on Apr. 12 2001,18:31
Finally got my network working (w00p-w00t ta dat, shun!) and I'm looking for some help with SAMBA. Note I only know the basic idea of what SAMBA is (namely it's purpose), and a little help setting up a basic little thing is greatly apreciated.------------------ Sometimes you're the dog, sometimes you're the hydrant...

I assume you've got samba installed... run a ps -a and check if smbd and nmbd are running. If not, start them.You'll need a config file called /etc/smb.conf . Here's mine. You'll have to tweak it a bit for your machine, but it should be pretty obvious.

Wow, that's bare minimum in 4D.heh well, most are more complicated. But just edit the file that might already be there due to an existing installation and go from there. Have fun Sambaing! Posted by Spydir Web on Apr. 14 2001,00:45
I got samba installed and a basic config, but windows Network Neighboorhood won't pick up on this computer (it just lists "Entire Network")...------------------ Sometimes you're the dog, sometimes you're the hydrant... Posted by Spydir on Apr. 17 2001,21:09
I'm guessing that's in C:\SYSTEM\, right?I'll have be getting into that this weekend, cuz my old monitor blew up! Well, not really blew up, but the power unit surged, and it was sparking and stuff. My dad says we'll have to bring it somewhere to fix it... I'd really prefer a new monitor, but the monitor's probably so messed up (no name brand) that I'll have to... ------------------ Posted by Wolfguard on Apr. 18 2001,05:21
