Hi,

I just installed the same FW. I configured SAMBA using the webinterface (USB Application/SAMBA), and that worked for me. The disk is shared and available using Windows Network under wl-hdd/share. As this works, I didn't bother configuring Samba using the .conf file, so I can't help you there.

The "code" below shows my settings, that's all I did.


USB Application - Simple Samba File Sharing
Enable Samba Demo mode? Yes
Access Level: Read/Write
Workgroup name: MSHOME

The smb.conf this results in is in the "code" below.

[admin@wl-hdd etc]$ cat smb.conf
[global]
interfaces = br0
bind interfaces only = yes
workgroup = MSHOME
server string = WLHDD
guest account = nobody
security = share
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
log level = 1
max log size = 100
encrypt passwords = no
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes

[share]
path = /tmp/harddisk
writable = yes
force user = admin
[admin@wl-hdd etc]$

My Windows version defaults to the workgroup MSHOME, other versions default to WORKGROUP.
