Has anybody been able to run Samba on the latest ver. of Asterisk@home. I have been trying uncessessfully for 2 days to get it working but port 901 keeps refusing my connection. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Just curious why you'd want Samba on your Asterisk box. Asterisk@Home comes with SSH and secure FTP preinstalled. Do you really want to expose your server to all your Windows users??

As a creature of habbit I started with windows and have never fully broke the dependancy. I see on the Samba web site that alot of people are haveing this issue but no resolutions so I thought I would check here.

After you install the Samba software, you might try installing WebMin and then configure Samba within WebMin. Unlike other WebMin installs, the Asterisk@Home version uses a username of root rather than admin with your root password to get in. It does a great job of getting all the settings just right.
