    Can't Access Samba shares

    So a few days ago my flatmates told me that they were unable to access the shares on my Download box (Ubuntu 11.04). Then this morning i woke up and was unable to access any shares either.

    I can still remote in with Teamveiwer & VNC, and i can also access the SABnzbd & Sickbeard webpages (Running on my download box)

    So none of my computers can access the samba shares, but i can access them from the computer itself by typing smb://turtlesvr/


    What I've tried so far
    • I downloaded and applied updates to linux 11.04 and restarted
    • I've tried using its hostname & IP but neither works.

    • I've tried putting the port numbers 137, 138, 139, 445 (Apparently samba uses these ports?) into the firewall, but this didn't work either.

    Can you shell into the host and run
    Code:
    testparm -s
    ?
    Sanitize the output and post.

    thanks.
    Windows assumes the user is an idiot.
    Linux demands proof.
