Thanks, I had already added the users without the -a
smbpasswd <username> Unfortunately your suggestion did not work either. Tried with and without password encryption on the Linux and Windows PC's - still no go. I have read so much documentation regarding this and it all reads fairly simple. I have got as far as being able to see all of the shares on the Windows PC's from the Linux machine but not the other way. My frustration is starting to turn me off Linux but maybe if I can make the meeting on Monday I may get the answers I need.

Also could try removing the enripted password option. C Mahesh > I am having no success with Samba.
