Samba should already be configured on home 3.0 the easiest way to do simple samba configuration is using webmin. This can be done from the xbox or another computer connected to the xbox over a network.

Just point your browser to http://xbox_ip:10000 log in and go to the samba module on the servers page.

A good simple smb.conf file would be

Code: Select all

[global]
workgroup = workgroup
netbios name = xbox
security = user

[homes]
writeable = yes

[Xbox E Drive]
path = /mnt/fatx/e
comment = The Xbox E drive
valid users = gentoox
writeable = yes

[Xbox F Drive]
path = /mnt/fatx/f
comment = The Xbox F drive
valid users = gentoox
writeable = yes

[/code]

i have tried with webmin and with /etc/smb.conf .. doesnt do it for me.. if i write findsmb in a shell it says the ip and +workgroup and so on.. but i cant log on to it and it wont show up in "networksettings" on my pc/xp..
im behind a router and got dhcp adresses and so are the xbox. that shouldnt be a problem??

My SAmba seems to work,

I have home 3.0, and never did nothing other than select it to startup with Gentoox...(never configured anything). I can view all computers(Windows and Linux running Samba) on my network, from my Xbox.

My problem is, I cant reverse that...cause when I try "find computers" from either of my windows computers, it find the XBOXes...but it asks for a pw...

What is the default SAMBA password to get in from Windows?

from a computer on the network, right click on my network places(desktop in 98 & ME)...then click on "search for computers"

from an XBOX open xffm, then click open SMB network

all there is to it

open a run box (start run) and type \\xbox then click ok
