Samba general question

[Gordon Charrick]

I've been trying to share my printer that is connected to my linux 
computer to my bf's windows xp machine. The two computers are connected 
(by wireless) to a linksys router so they're on the same subnet. There 
isn't a chance the router could be blocking the connection, is there? 
The wireless is running on eth1 and I can ping from one machine to the 
other.

I also have vmware running on my linux machine so I can do tests 
locally. When I run "net view \\gmc" on my vmware guest I get a list of 
shares and can connect to the printer and see the files in the 
"testshare" share. If I run the same comand on my bf's computer I get 
access denied. It's not firewall related because I'm testing it with no 
rules set.

I'm including my smb.conf below.

[global]
         workgroup = HOME
         interfaces = eth1 vmnet1
         bind interfaces only = yes
         load printers = yes
         printing = cups
         printcap name = cups
         guest account = smbprint
         domain master = no
         local master = yes
         preferred master = yes
         os level = 65
[testshare]
         comment = test path to tmp
         path =/tmp
         browseable = yes
         guest ok = yes
         writable = no
[printers]
         comment = Linux printer
         path = /home/smbprint
         browseable = yes
         public = yes
         guest ok = yes
         writable = yes
         printable = yes
         printer admin = root
         use client driver = yes
