I'm having a samba problem in my home as well connecting to my win2k
machine. It sees the computers and the shares, but I can't access any of
the shares, even though my roommate's winbox can access them fine. I
remember reading somewhere that Win2k implemented certain changes to smb
that breaks samba. So win95,98, and nt can access win2k, but not from
linux... But the same document that I read also said that someone in
samba is working with microsoft(yes, I know) about this and will get it
fixed shortly. Has anyone out there been able to access win2k shares from
linux using samba? If you did, which version of Samba are you using? The
first block of free time I get, I'm downgrading my win2k back to 98...
