Access issues are caused by one or two things, in order: Windows (SMB/Samba) access (domain works, username works), and Linux permissions access
So, to diagnose things, make sure you can login first from your client operating system, and then if that works, make sure you can access the files you are interested in from Linux. If that works, make sure then that the share pointing to your files is accesible to the user that is trying to access it via Samba
* First make sure that '''your workgroup or domain match between your HDA and your clients'''. For your HDA's workgroup/domain, go to Setup -> Settings and turn on advanced settings, after that, go to Setup -> Shares -> Settings and check the workgroup name.
* In at least Windows 7, we have observed that the operating system tries to use a "Domain" of the name of the computer, which is wrong! Try typing this in the Username field:
YOURWORKGROUP\username
\\hda.home.com
* Make sure the user has permissions to at least read the share (of course) in the Shares area of your HDA
* Check the Credential manager under Control Panel: Control Panel -> Al Control Panel Items -> Credential Manager: See this [http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=964&start=11 thread in the forums].
