Then I copied my Slackware smb.conf file across to the Fedora installation (and restarted NMB and SMB), now my windows machines can 'see' the Samba server - they recognise the machine name - but I still can't connect. It seems like Samba isn't recognising my password.
What's the best way to diagnose this?
Have you set the smb password using smbpasswd?
Well I *thought* I had using the Fedora GUI, I had added some shares and some users. However, I don't know what the Fedora GUI does but it doesn't appear to add users correctly, or I don't understand it.
When I added a user with the command line smbpasswd everything worked, hoorah for the command line. .... and thank you for the suggestion.
