Happy that all works..
Keep in mind that as SAMBA basic is set up.. there is not an eye to network security.
You may want to look into securing your SAMBA setup by modifying the smb.conf

.....Not necessary for each case but good to learn.

Various changes most simply the
security =
parameter
as well as the PAM directives
However many users find it an inconvenience to continually type passwords for access to shared peripherals such as printers and drives.
Some Users and networks require more security then others. A large degree of your security outside your LAN comes from your IP router to the internet and your OS Firewall program.
SAMBA is more concerned with your LAN usually.
