hi, thanks for this straight forward article, but I can’t figured it out!
in opensuse 11.0

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
is
sudo /etc/init.d/smb restart

valid users = username
seems not working

u can use
guest ok = yes
guest account = username

but it’s not safe and password protected

what can I do???

I’m sorry but I am very new to Ubuntu. I have followed all instructions a few times and I can’t connect in Windows. I’m not sure if I have the correct Host IP address. I have tried all that I can find. I am using NAT and I would REALLY appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks!
