I agree with the previous comment that the error is important.
Try re-installing the rpm (or installing Fedora 4 now that it is out).

For the access problem, try a share that is open to all without any restrictions.
If it works than add one at a time to get what you want.
Is your network a hostile environment? Yes, lock it up tight.

Subject: [SLUG] Samba help

I am trying to get my Windows XP to be able to access my Samba Drive. I
can see my Linux box but when I click on it I get the following message:
    \\Dlinux is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact....

<snip>
The following is what I have for a config file currently:
==================== Begin smb.conf ===========================
#============================ Share Definitions ========================
; share name
[david]
; text to list when browsing the share from a client
comment = For testing at this point!!
; absolute path to the disk directory
path = /home/david
; should the share be writeable?
writeable = yes
; user allowed to connect to the share
; the `@' is used to designate a unix group
valid users = @david
; enforce file locking?
locking = yes
; default file creation permission mask
create mode = 0660
; default directory creation permission mask
directory mode = 0770
==================== End smb.conf ===========================

I have been working on this for a while, but can't seem to figure out
what is wrong.

Thanks for any help,
David
