Michael,
I just finished getting Samba up and running on our office network. I also
read and followed the Sams 24 hour instructions.
Have you run testparm to check your smb.conf file?
did you do all the diagnostics that the book referenced?
If you have and you did not get any errors, can you post your smb.conf so I
cn look at it? Or sent it ot me offline.
We can go from there.
