Mark,
First verify that the posix permissions are good for your home
directory: ls -lA /home/mark
If those are good, then I would try removing the hosts allow parameter
in [global].
If that doesn't work, checking the Samba logs is always a good idea.

Hello,
I am a beginner to Samba and I RTFMd carefully but cannot get started.
I want to access my user account "mark" home directory on Linux, with the
same account name on Windows 8.
The user "mark" has the same password on Linux and Windows 8. In addition
I did this on Linux
smbpasswd -a mark
and gave the same password.
Following the manuals on samba website I edited the samba configuration
smb.conf file so:
[global]
hosts allow = ALL
client signing = no
# log files split per-machine:
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
# maximum size of 50KB per log file, then rotate:
max log size = 50
security = user
[homes]
valid users = %S
read only = No
and successfully started the samba service.
I can then see "mark" share on that Linux machine from Windows, I can map
it to a drive letter in Windows Explorer, and I also see this:
[root@v64-sw-dev003-mark /]# smbstatus
Samba version 3.6.12-1.fc17
PID Username Group Machine
-------------------------------------------------------------------
14678 mark mark mark-pc (192.168.221.76)
Service pid machine Connected at
-------------------------------------------------------
mark 14678 mark-pc Fri Jun 28 15:56:39 2013
No locked files
This all looks very good to me, as Samba server sees my client with the
correct username, Windows machine name and IP address.
YET, when I actually try to double-click on the share in the Windows
Explorer, I get an error dialog:
Windows cannot access \\192.168.221.32\mark
You do not have permission to access \\192.168.221.32\mark\. Contact your
network administrator to request access.
192.168.221.32 is the Linux machine address.
Please, what am I doing wrong??
Thank you,
Mark
