I thought that you could configure WinXP onto a linux system. Sumner Primary School has a WinXP client on connected to a Linux server and it goes sweet as.....Steve Fergusson did the install. If you want his number let me know.

Full XP connectivity isn't there yet, not even in the CVS versions leading up to samba 3.0 Is it possible the XP machine has different share access - based on username. Are you supplying a username to smbmount with -o username=bob ? Is there a domain controller involved, or is it a straight workgroup (is there such a thing as a bent workgroup?) What about a share on the linux box - is it ro or rw to itself/the windows machines?
