CUPS is mentioned in the logs, and you don't seem to know what it is, so do you have a line similar to:
printing = cups
No, good point. I have ;printing = bsd so that was commented out.
Also, did you define guest in smb.conf and did you create the acct with smbpasswd -a
No. Now I did & rebooted. Same symptom, i.e. windoz explorer tells me
\\Swamisalami is not accessible. ... The account is not authorized to log in from this station.
One thing I notice is that nmbd is running but smbd isn't (ps -ax|grep mbd). Is this normal behavior? more /var/log/dmesg.today|grep mbd yields nothing; looking at /var/log/log.nmbd the line
Packet send failed to 192.168.0.255(137) ERRNO=No route to host
sticks out like a sore thumb. I gather that lil' devil tried probing port 137 on lan ip 192.168.0.255. That node doesn't exist; my dns comes from a win xp box called delliver with ip 192.168.0.1 and dial up using win ics. Yet for some reason samba looked at a non-existent ip on the lan; also it reported no route to host.
Finally when I do a find computer on win xp for swamisalami it find two. One's just that, the other is that parenthetically labelled Samba Server. Neither is accessible. Finally when I look for my fbsd box by ip adr on win find computer it now finds it - also not accessible. Looks like I did something right and something wrong. (stating the painfully obvious).
