samba server dropping wireless connection

view story
linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I've recently turned my Fedora 17 box into a Samba server. My intention was to use the machine as a central media server that I could access from other machines around my house. The Fedora box is connecting to the network via a wireless adapter, not ideal I know, but that's how the house has to be setup if I don't want cables everywhere. (Samba wasn't my first choice, I couldn't get nms to fire up.) I was able to get everything running after a bit of fighting. I can now access the samba server from a laptop, and the file access all works properly. I tried playing a cd worth of .mp3 file (HowTos)

Samba and win7 discovery issue 18 weeks 3 days ago

Iam running a file server with samba. I connect via a wireless AP to the server with a laptop running win7. I can access the shares no problem but am having an issue where my samba server does not show up under network in on the laptop. Should I want to add another share to win7 I have to do it manually.

I've recently upgraded a Fedora 11 install being used as a Samba server on a small network to Fedora 12 via preupgrade. Upon reboot, I was not able to connect to the server. I found that shutting down SELinux and recreating the (only) user for the server allowed connection to the shares.
