Samba connection error

Hey,

I've installed and configured Samba on 5.2. I can see the share folder when I try to map it on the windows client, but when I select the directory and then press finish I get the error:

"The network path \\server\dir could not be found."

I find this odd considering it let me browser to the dir in the first place.

Anyone know what is going on?

 

Can you try the IP address instead?

 

Tried using the IP address aswell with no result. I think I may have found the issue though.

 

Seems I didn't find the error. I did a full reinstall of Samba and now I cannot even see the shared directory on Samba.

The smb.conf I'm using is:

Code:

[global]
    ; General server settings
    netbios name = CENTOS
    server string =
    workgroup = GROUP1
    announce version = 5.0
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

    passdb backend = tdbsam
    security = user
    null passwords = true
    username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
    name resolve order = hosts wins bcast

    wins support = yes

    printing = CUPS
    printcap name = CUPS

    syslog = 1
    syslog only = yes

; NOTE: If you need access to the user home directories uncomment the
; lines below and adjust the settings to your hearts content.
;[homes]
    ;valid users = %S
    ;create mode = 0600
    ;directory mode = 0755
    ;browseable = no
    ;read only = no
    ;veto files = /*.{*}/.*/mail/bin/

; NOTE: Only needed if you run samba as a primary domain controller.
; Not needed as this config doesn't cover that matter.
;[netlogon]
    ;path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
    ;admin users = Administrator
    ;valid users = %U
    ;read only = no

; NOTE: Again - only needed if you're running a primary domain controller.
;[Profiles]
    ;path = /var/lib/samba/profiles
    ;valid users = %U
    ;create mode = 0600
    ;directory mode = 0700
    ;writeable = yes
    ;browseable = no

; NOTE: Inside this place you may build a printer driver repository for
[print$]
    path = /var/lib/samba/printers
    browseable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    read only = yes
    write list = root
    create mask = 0664
    directory mask = 0775

[printers]
    path = /tmp
    printable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    browseable = no

; Uncomment if you need to share your CD-/DVD-ROM Drive
;[DVD-ROM Drive]
    ;path = /media/cdrom
    ;browseable = yes
    ;read only = yes
    ;guest ok = yes

[shared]
    path = /home/share1/
    browseable = yes
    read only = no
    guest ok = no
    create mask = 0644
    directory mask = 0755
    force user = root
    force group = root

I have change the chmod of the /home/share1/ folder to 0777.

Also added the windows user 07005588 to linux and samba.

What is it I've missed?
