Iam running a file server with samba. I connect via a wireless AP to the server with a laptop running win7. I can access the shares no problem but am having an issue where my samba server does not show up under network in on the laptop. Should I want to add another share to win7 I have to do it manually. They do not show up in networks (start/computer/network).
Ping to server - OK
nmap server for ports - Fine. No firewall at this point.
smb.conf file :
Im not concerned about security at this point. I am just looking to why my samba server does not show up in the network portion of win7.
Iam basically building a smb.conf file with the bare minimum to use as a guild to go from when setting up other samba servers. Therefore, This smb.conf file is kinda sparse. Im pretty sure Ive got something missing in the smb.conf file for this to work but havent figured it out yet. I will later add a login type security for shares but thats beyond the scope of my problem right now.
My network is sound (10.0.1.0/24) and other services run fine (nfs, internet to laptop).
This has to be something in the smb.conf that is missing.
Any help?
