Connect to samba from windows

I'm running samba on freebsd and trying to connect to it from windows server.

On the samba server I set up a [test] share

When I try to connect to it from windows:

Code:
net use t: \\192.168.198.140\test /user:Donald foobar

I get the error:

Code:
System error 67 has occured.

The network name cannot be found.

What could be going wrong?
 
Try browsing to the share. Just click on Start, Run... and enter \\192.168.198.140

Also check the various samba logging.

If possible also post your smb.conf.
 
Browsing for it gave me the error \\IP No network provider accepted the given network path.

My smb.conf file is:

Code:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP

encrypt passwords= yes

win support = yes

[test]
comment = For testing only
path = /export/tmp
read only = no


I used the example in using samba 3rd edition..

I was able to connect to the share from the the samba server itself without a problem.. anonymously and with an account

the log.smbd only shows errors from earlier when i connected to it locally.. and its things that I don't think matter right now like:

Unable to connect to CUPS server localhost:631 (i didn't set up cups.. don't know why its connecting to it.. i guess i have to disable it in smb?)

thats pretty much it.

In Windows 2003 I pointed the wins server ip to the samba server since its handling it..
I enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP.. not that this should make a difference right now?

Im lost :(
 
I did nslookup 192.168.198.140 - and this is my output (I'm running both windows 2003 and samba server(freebsd) as vm's)

Code:
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.198.2: Non-existent domain
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.198.2

*** UnKnown can't find 192.168.198.140: Non-existent domain
