I really dont know why my samba server isnt working. When it to connect to it from another machine... or even from the same machine i get an error (using konqueror). And when trying to access it with smbclient it simply says connection failed.
In /var/log/samba.192.168.0.* it says "connection refused" from whichever IP i tried to connect from..
Heres my smb.conf
Any ideas what im missing or should check for?

Oh yea, i used webmin to transfer over the user from /etc/passwd and set the password using smbpasswd

Problem might be that the daemon is not started?

execute
ps -ef|grep smb

if the daemon is up you should get something like the following
root 2335 1 0 Oct01 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D
root 2337 2335 0 Oct01 ? 00:00:00 smbd -D

if not - start it with
/etc/init.d/smb start

and make sure it is started as a service by running
setup
... goto System services and make sure "smb" is checked.

Also
remember - whenever you make a change to /etc/samba/smb.conf
you must restart the daemon for the changes to take effect.
restart with
/etc/init.d/smb restart

yep its running, and i did restart it after my last change with /etc/rc.d/rc.samba restart (BSD init style ). Also nmbd is running.

So what do your log files say (/var/log/samba/*)? What are the exact commands you are using to try and connect? Are you running iptables and are the SMB ports blocked? What ports are showing "open" when you nmap your machine from another machine?

I dont have anything set in iptables. To connect I am just opening konqueror and typing smb://192.168.0.4
I also tried smbclient -L 192.168.0.4 in which i get a password dialogue and then it says "Tree connect failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF)"

this is my /var/log/samba/log.smbd

When i run nmap ports 22, 80, 139, 445, 5800, 5900 are shown as open.

What's in /etc/samba/smbusers?

der?..... there is none. Should i make one? I used webmin to convert mor from unix user to samba user
