You sure didn't provide much information!
Send a:
cat /etc/smb.conf
ls -l /path/up/to/share/name
ls -l /path/share/name
and maybe someone can help you. One of my shares look like this:
[billprivate]
comment = stuff for install/admin
path = /home/lan/shares/billprivate
public = no
browseable = no
guest only = no
writable = yes
force user = %U
force group = lanadmin
valid users = @lanadmin
map system = Yes
map hidden = Yes
map archive = Yes
available = yes
Hope this helps,
Bill
