Problem seeing Samba shares from Windows client
Jan 19th 2013, 22:18

My home network has several windows machines and an openSUSE 12.2 machine connected together. I have Samba installed and working (sort of) on the Linux box. Here is the smb.conf file:

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.

My problem is that shares from the Linux machine appear in Windows Network for about 5-15 minutes, but then, curiously, a Windows dialog box appears, asking for a username and password. From that point I cannot access any shares on the Linux box.

I have users added via smbpasswd -a ..., and username/passwords are identical across all machines. Windows machines can see and access each other just fine.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you,

Steve
