Samba problem

[Shag]

I'm trying to get Samba up and running on my debian box (2.4.2 kernel), but am having a bit of a problem. I've got everything installed and SWAT working properly. The debian box shows up in Network Neighborhood. When I try to connect to the debian box, I get the error:

\\boxname not available
The network path was not found.

The samba log on the debian box gives the following error:

I really have no idea what the problem is here. Can anyone help me out?

Try using the command "testparm". This command will give you an output of all Samba parameters. Maybe it will help you figure out the problem, that is, if it is just a configuration problem.

Have you installed a username and password on windows? Its easier if you have the same for both windows and linux. Im not sure if that is the cause of the problems, but I got a few errors like that with that being the solution.
