Specifically the windows machine can not find the ip address of the samba machine. This is the same machine/ip as the other shares that are displayed correctly. Since it works perfectly on other laptops/boxes the server settings must be ok. It must be a client problem. I'm beginning to wonder whether I should force-remove samba-client and reinstall it. May be I overwrote something important when I copied back files from the old drive.

Long time since we spoke :-) I have 'read only = no' and as far as I can tell from all the documentation, both forms are recognised by samba. I have made one discovery, though, that is interesting. I've installed smb4k, and found that it can access my home directory, as well as the other shares. Some are labelled cifs and others samba filesystems. However, since I can access some of each type, it's probably not significant.

From your home permissions it appears you have bolted from mdk, unless they have picked up the openSuSE group scheme ;-) I don't know what to tell you on the homes issue. Most kernels have dropped smbfs support in favor of cifs. What I have been doing linux-to-linux is using mount.cifs for samba shares in the following fashion: mount.cifs //host/theusername /mnt/mountpoint/ -o username=theusername,uid=1000,password=pass I'm sure their is a more automated way to do this, but with only 10 people in the office it isn't a problem. I haven't used smb4k, but I have seen others that have successfully. Without smb4k, I use konqueror and just type smb://host into the address bar and it shows all shares including the the users home dir that can be linked, etc... Someone smarter than I will have to add more to the discussion. Again, good to hear from you! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
