This sound weird. It's definately not a permission issue as far as I can tell. since you're on the XP box and you're copying to the XP Box. Samba permissions should not have anything to do with it. What about permissions on the XP directory? Are you using the netbios name or the IP address? Try the IP address. > > /etc/samba/smb.conf > [global] > workgroup = WORKGROUPserver string = Samba Server %v > log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m > max log size = 50 > socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 > interfaces = lo ath0 > bind interfaces only = yes > security = share > guest account = samba > guest ok = yes[public] > comment = Public Files > browseable = yes > public = yes > create mode = 0766 > guest ok = yes > path = /home/samba/public > Thanks -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
