Samba Connection failed

Alright, I'm pretty new at Linux and networking in general so bear with me.

I have three computers hooked into my LAN now. One is a regular Windows XP Home Edition box. Another is a dual boot with FC 1 and Windows XP Home Edition and the last is running FC 2.
I'm trying to make a file server out of the last computer so I can backup files and such from my network.

The computer that is giving me the trouble is the one running FC 2, I'll call it PC 3. I can mount shares that are on other computers to PC 3 (can read/write just like normal), but when trying to access PC3 from any other computer is fails. When I click on Network Servers it shows up in the list of available computers. I can't open the computer and see what shares are available on the computer. If I try smbclient it says "connection to 192.168.0.67 failed."

When I go into windows and try to open it it gives me an error stating "a network path could not be found". It also says that I might not have permission to access it. I tried a net view but it gives the same thing.

Here is testparm dump of my smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = HOME
netbios name = KYLE 2
server string = Kyle 2
security = SHARE
guest account = guest
log file = /home/backup/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
printcap name = /etc/printcap
preferred master = Yes
dns proxy = no
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No

[public]
path = /public
read only = No
guest only = Yes
guest ok = Yes



Any help would be appreciated.

Alright well I fixed it. I finally resorted to reinstall. I guess I should've allowed access to my ethernet device...

Start->System Settings->Security Level

That should get you a Security Level Confirmation dialog where you can completely disable the firewall or add rules.

I don't know if FC2 does this, but when installing Samba it should add appropriate rules to your firewall settings. I opted for no firewall on my most recent install, so it wasn't an issue for me.
