Re: Samba: password for mapping network drives
Can you help me with that share name thing? Does that go in the global
section? I've checked the man page for smb.conf, and still couldn't find
anything about this parameter. I've set the workgroup for the appropriate
windows workgroup name. Is this what you were talking about? I've got the
password correct, but now the message comes up
"The share name was not found. Make sure you typed it correctly."
Thanks again,
Brian
