Samba problems with OS3.9 & XP

[AmiBoy]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to connect my A1200 upto my Dell XP Home laptop using Samba but I am having real problems.

I have configured everything in Genesis at the Amiga's end as is stated on the Samba for idiots website (i have doubled checked an nothing seems to be sticking out as wrong) but when ever I start Genesis and go "online" i get the following error message:

route_ad: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

I really want to connect my 1200 to my laptop so I can download to my laptop then copy accross (as I am also haing real trouble with CD's I write to n the laptop not being able to be read by my 1200 - OS3.9 - CacheCDFS)

Can anyone please help me?

Just incase here is my SMB.conf

Here is my SMB.conf

#Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = Mshome
netbios name = AMIGA
interfaces =
169.254.111.154/255.255.255.0
security = share
password level = 20
username level = 20
log file = /t/samba.%m.log
max log size = 50
domain master = False

[all]
path = /
guestonly = Yes
guest ok = Yes
writeable = Yes
printable=no
public=yes


And also the dos driver that I created to mount C on workbench (not too sure where I got this from)

Handler = L:SMB-Handler
Stacksize = 40000
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
Mount = 1
Startup = "C=\\DellLaptop\SharedDocs MH=AMIGA W=MSHOME U=Administrator"

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Oh and the firewall is disabled for this connection in XP

Its just so frustrating as this used to work very well with my old XP Home laptop and I just cant figure out why it wont work now.

Update: I used to be able to ping the Amiga from the laptop but not the laptop from the Amiga. No changes have been made except cleaning up the IP addresses (there are no conflictions) and i cant ping either machine at all.
