Well, workgroup is set to WORKGROUP.  You might want to change that to
whatever workgroup/domain your windows machines are using.  Also, try
setting a netbios name such as 'netbios name = myWinMachineName'.  If
you have an NT server on your local net, you might want to 'wins server
= 129.82.ntmachine.ip'  For security reasons, you might also want to add
the following line:  'hosts allow = 129.82. 127.'  This would limit
connections to IP that start with those octets (csu and loopback).  The
trailing . are important.

The easiest way to do stuff is to use SWAT, the Samba Web Administration
Tool which is installed with samba as a web server on port 901.  Go to
http://samba.server.ip.addr:901 and log in as root.  You can then modify
smb.conf using a nice gui interface.

Here's my smb.conf if you want to take a look:

Well, it seems to be caught in a nasty wind from the left...

This won't help. :)  If this is your problem, you will be able
to reach your shares by typing them directly in, but they won't
be published on a master browser, and so won't be browsable.

Try changing that to YES, or in a Win32 "Run..." dialog, enter
\\10.0.0.0\username
Where the 10.0.0.0 is your IP, and the username is... uh.  Your
username (other than Root)

Tried all tyhe stuff ...
I just realized that I could access the stuff from the CS dept as
\\machine.name.sdfdf.adsd\\username ...
But its unaccessible from my own domain ... ie. engr
its also unaccessible as \\netbiosname\ even tho the m/c appears in the network neighborhood of other machines ....
It says this "The account is not authirized to login from this station"
It works fine when I boot it in Windows too ...

ideas?
