New To Linux - Issue with Share Directory

[LastCast]

I have RHEL 9.0 installed, Samba Installed and Configured. I set up three shared directories.
/ShareDirectory/Marketing
/ShareDirectory/Operations
/ShareDirectory/Users

I have the permissions set to allow all everyone.

I am on my Windows XP workstation and I can see the directories in the list.
When I click I get an error saying the directory is not accessible.

I have the home directory shared and I can see and open that directory. I used this command setsebool -P sambe_enable_home_dirs=1 and then I was able to see the Home Directory with no problem.

I tried this command chcon -R -t samba_share_t '/ShareDirectory/Marketing' but this did not help.

I found these commands from the errors i was seeing on the linux server. But i have no idea what they do.

1. What do these two commands do?
2. What am I missing - Why cant I browse my shared directorys from my windows XP workstation?

The user and workgroup is the same on the linux server and the windows xp workstation.

Any help appreciated

I assume you mean just Red Hat 9, and no RHEL9 since that doesnt' exist. In which case, I would respond that red hat 9 is very old and it probably has a very old version of samba that we may or may not be able to help with. Can you upgrade to latest?

yes thats correct. I just download the most recent last week from the REDHAT site... SO I believe i am abotu as current as I can be...

Red Hat download page. RedHat Enterprise Desktop/Server latest edition is 5. What you are running is probably Fedora 9.. which is outdated since 11 came out not too long ago. Anyways run this command from a terminal as root and post your output.

smbd -V

Can you also tell us how are the 2 machines connected? Through a router or another way.
