Trouble accessing Linux PC from Win2k (Samba)[EDIT: Fixed]

I've installed Samba on the Linux PC, configured smb.conf using SWAT and started smbd and nmbd.

Now when I try to access the Linux PC (NetBIOS name is 'slave') from the Win2k PC (called 'master'), I get this error:

\\slave is not accessible

the account is not authorized to log in from this station.

I guess I'll have to set some permissions with smbpasswd or something, but the documentation on Samba only confuses me more.

Note: I've set 'hosts allow' to 10.10.10. but I'm not sure whether this is the right way.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Fixed, thanks to a simple text-editor 🙂
 
you using a username/pass that exists on the linux box already? might want to look at smbpasswd
 
Okay, I fixed it 🙂

I first only used SWAT, but there goes nothing above editing configuration files in a text editor. Took me less than a minute to make it work that way...
