I, for the kick of it, thought I'll setup a samba server on my office network, so I can edit my code on windows using my fav editor, and run it on linux. It's didn't work using the "quick and dirty" configurations I found after on the www. By doesn't work I mean that after starting the 3 samba deamons on my linux box, I type in \\MYHOSTSAMBA in windows explorer and it pops up a dialog saying "Windows can not access \\MYHOSTSAMBA. Check the spelling...".
Any help is appreciated:
Env:
RHEL 6: Linux MYHOST 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 15 10:48:38 EDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
(0)root@MYHOST$ dnsdomainname
dev.abc.com
(0)root@MYHOST$
Windows 7: Laptop from which I'm hoping to access the samba share is in a domain like this: global.xyz.abc.com. (it's not part of a workgroup). I can't change this. Note that my linux box is on dev.abc.com and win 7 laptop is on global.xyz.abc.com.
- Samba: Version 3.6.9-151.el6 (smbcontrol -V)
So far what I've done is:
(0)root@MYHOST# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = GLOBAL.XYZ.ABC.COM
netbios name = MYHOSTSAMBA
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
local master = No
dns proxy = No
idmap config * : backend = tdb
[Data]
comment = kashyap
path = /tmp
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
(0)root@MYHOST# service smb restart; service winbind restart; service nmb restart

Only thing of interest I saw in log file /var/log/samba/log.nmbd was:
[2013/10/11 14:53:52, 0] nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:57(name_to_unstring)
name_to_nstring: workgroup name GLOBAL.XYZ.ABC.COM is too long. Truncating to GLOBAL.XYZ.ABC
I assume this might be a/the problem, but have no clue. Any help is appreciated.
Rest of the logs in /var/log/samba seem ok:
(1)root@plabb54# tail -5 log.nmbd
