Hello, all. I am trying to run an extremely simple Samba share on my FC3 box, but none of the other computers (running Windows 2000 or XP) has been able to see it. Actually, they used to be able to see the computer, but were unable to connect to it. Following these (http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=88288&mode=threaded) instructions, the other boxes now no longer see the FC3 box. I know it's something stupid (smb is running, so I'm not a complete idiot). Here's smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2005/03/02 21:01:50

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = KH2INC
server string = Samba Server
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
hosts allow = 192.168.1., 192.168.2., 127.

[homes]
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

[printers]
path = /tmp
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
printer name = HPLaserJet4L
use client driver = Yes
browseable = No

[media]
path = /mnt/media
guest ok = Yes

Thanks,
Ike

is your service running?
try this
$ su -
password
# service smb restart

Yes it is. I restart smb after every edit of smb.conf, sometimes through swat, sometimes through the services menu.
