 I was checking the properties menu of my samba  "shared" folder and the ownership and group were set to root. I changed them to tom as user and user as group .Does this have any bearing.  tom

Possibly, it depends on the actual permissions (i.e. is there ANY access for others)
If there are still problems after you changed it then in /var/log/samba there should be a file called something like __ffff_192.168.1.2.log

See if there is anything in that file corresponding to the time you were trying to test.

Code: [Select]

tail -20 /var/log/samba/__ffff_192.168.1.2.log
If pasting it here please put it in "Code" tags (i.e. click the # button above the entry box and paste the content in between the tags)

 did a little experiment with my daughters windows 7 machine which is part of my network and everything works fine which leads me to believe  my problem is in my client machine. My client machine is running kde 2012. Can you give me an idea how to check this machine in lieu of the samba server being seen by the windows machine

 I feel rather stupid about what I  am about to tell you. Upon doing some checking on my client I noticed that my time date setting was off by one day. After I corrected I went to konquerer and typed smb://192.168.1.2 and there was both my shared and tom folder. I transferred some data and all is good. There is obviously a time ,date correlation I never thought about. I sincerely thank for all your patience and knowledge you imparted to me. You are a top notch forum admin and am sure we will cross paths gain. Again thanks

Looks like this got resolved.

Thanks, Terry, for following through while I was offline.

tm,
  If you're happy with the resolution, go back to your initial post and mark it [SOLVED], if you haven't already.

Tom,

Glad it's all working for you now 

Terry.
