redhat file sharing error with windows 2000 server

[caesarkim]

I have two computers, A(frodo) and B(gandal).

I installed redhat 9 on A computer and windows 2k server on B computer.

for file sharing, i installed samba on A computer. and samba is running up ok. but when i check "computers near me", frodo shows up. but when i try to browse "frodo" to see public folders, it says "\\frodo" is inaccessible. The path is not found."

i try "smbclient gandal" too, but it shows an error.

i don't know what's wrong... should i use same password for A and B? the password for B is only 5 characters. A has 7 characters for password.



this is my smb.conf

Ensure both the computers are under SAME subnet MASK

and modify your PUBLIC Share as follows

[public]
path=/home/public
pubilc = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
browseable = yes
create mask = 0644
