Hello,
I really need some help. For whatever reason I struggle with samba every time I have to do anything with it. This time though I am totally lost. So I had an old P4 PC with an older version of Linux Lite that was set up as a media server. After about 40 hours of messing with samba I got it to be visible and accessible by any computer on my network. All was well until I upgraded to a new computer and installed the new version of Lite. I can't get the network to work at all. It can be seen by other computers but not accessed. I have two hard drives in the computer. On has the operating system and the other has the files I need to share on the network. This is my smb.conf file
I'm clueless, any ideas?
