Dear All,
I need help on my samba server configuration on my FreeBSD v.2.2.6.
I hope you don't mind a little history...
I used the samba package with came with FreeBSD v.2.2.6 before. It
installed fine... I was able to view the shared folders of other Windows
machines and other Linux boxes with samba installed could also see my
FreeBSD machine. I was even able to send and receive Winpop messages to
and from a Windows 95 box.
At first, the problem was my machine could not be seen in the Network
Neighborhood of the Windows machines. I tried accessing my machine
directly from the Windows box -- however to no avail. I found it quite
wierd that my machine was not listed and could not be found by Windows
machines, but those same machines can send Winpop messages to my Samba
Server.
Anyway, after playing around with the various settings in smb.conf, for
some reason I am not aware of, my machine becomes listed in the Network
Neighborhood. However, if you double-click on my machine, an error is
displayed indicating that the computer cannot be accessed.
I decided to download the source code from www.samba.org and recompile
it for FreeBSD -- it still didn't work. I recompiled it again and added
another option (the option for those having password problems), it
worked! BUT! The Winpop didn't anymore... =8(
I said to myself, 'okay... I can live with that..."
BUT! Now for some reason... it doesn't want to work anymore! I
remembered that I tried the NetCon package, after Samba was working,
which was quite disappointing so I removed NetCon. I noticed afterwards
that my Samba was not working anymore...
Out of sheer desperation, I decided to backup all my data, reformat the
hard disk, and re-install everything from scratch. I was hoping that
this time it would work... BUT I GUESS NOT! =8(
Can somebody tell my what I am doing wrong.... please!!!! I have
attached a copy of my rc.local and smb.conf files..
Thank you so much in advance...

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the

# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
