Mario nope you are accessing the Win2k directory structure via SMB over the network. you would only need native NTFS support inside linux if you trying to mount a drive locally with NTFS - i.e. attaching a Win2K formatted drive to a linux machine with an IDE / SCSI / SATA cable. your problem must be elsewhere.

What I find curious is that if I log on to the Mandrake Machine using root I can access the folders I want and save to them on the Windows 2000 Server, however when I log on as a normal user on the Mandrake machine I can view, open read and access all folders I need but I cannot save to the folder. Do you still think it's a Winbind issue? Also I do not have Samba Server running on the network as this desktop would be the only Linux machine on the network. What do you think?
