I'm trying to make a folder (and files) on my N800 available to my Windows machine via samba. Basically, I have a web server running on the N800 and I would like to 1) sometimes work on the files directly on my tablet and 2) sometimes work on those files on my desktop. However, I don't want to move files back and forth --- makes things much easier and cleaner.
I can already access the web server from my desktop simply by pointing to the ip address. however, the only step missing is me being able to edit the files directly on the tablet from my Windows machine.
I believe I've properly made the folder shared via Konquerer; right-click, choose properties, share tab, etc. However, my Windows box does not see the tablet in My Network Place --- I've even tried typing in the name of the tablet, but still no go. \\NOKIA-N800-23-14
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Tried that too, but no luck --- Windows can't find it. I've even turned off my Windows firewall. Is there something that I maybe need to do in the KDE Control Panel?

I could not find a solution for this other to install proftpd and FTP files back and forth. Not as elegant as I'd like, but it's better than nothing!

I used the Control Panel to edit smb.conf ... so, when I looked at the file earlier, it was already updated.
However, I did try all instances of the samba binary unsuccessfully at that time too --- whether in /usr/local or /usr/share or the third location which I can't remember where it was. All returned a permission denied error.
When you say the startup scripts weren't included, you're not saying that I also need them to run samba, right? I mean I don't need them because, theoretically, I would just type /usr/local/samba start to get the service going. (Which unfortunately isn't working.)
