That worked. Those credentials worked fine Phew! Now it works!! Thanks so much for the help.

Is there a way to get around the firewall issue, and am I able to change the login credentials to something else?

You would need to do a custom firewall install that opens the Samba-related ports. They are something like 135/tcp 137/udp 138/udp 139/tcp 445/tcp.

Run smbpasswd. I don't know the exact syntax.

OPPS! Nevermind these instructions. I am late!

There is a manual that was done about a year ago that covers all on this to make it easy. Click this link Any contribution or comments you can make to that guide will help others.

That password is a gotcha with the simple way that SAMBA sets up. The manual explains that, though, to keep users out of trouble. You may want to glance at it when you have a moment.

Here to help

OK, I need you to do 2 more things. One from JUJU and the other from that other LAN PC where you get the error.

At JUJU
Exit the desktop to the console and do the following command. They are going to allow you to set JUJU system's passwords (yes that's plural). I recommend that you use the same password for EACH COMMAND. At the console, type
Code:
# passwd
# smbpasswd -a
# logout
# xwin

When back on desktop, Open a terminal and do the following (DO NOT USE THE "-U" parameter this time)
Code:
# smbclient -L localhost
You will see the same thing you saw before

Next at your LAN PC,
Open a terminal and do
Code:
# mkdir /mnt/JUJU-puppyshare
# mount -o username=root  //192.168.2.13/puppyshare  /mnt/JUJU-puppyshare
Report back your connection

These are the results:

Code:

randy@hprandymint ~ $ mkdir /mnt/JUJU-puppyshare
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/JUJU-puppyshare': Permission denied
randy@hprandymint ~ $ sudo mkdir /mnt/JUJU-puppyshare
[sudo] password for randy:
randy@hprandymint ~ $ mount -o username=root //192.168.2.13/puppyshare  /mnt/JUJU-puppyshare
mount: only root can do that
randy@hprandymint ~ $ sudo mount -o username=root //192.168.2.13/puppyshare  /mnt/JUJU-puppyshare
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.2.13/puppyshare,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

randy@hprandymint ~ $
