Hi all,What flavour of XP is it? In XP Professional, there is a setting you need to turn off in the XP box ("enable easy something-or-other" - a google on samba and XP will turn it up). As far as I (and the assembled brains of our univeristy computer centre) can tell, if it's XP Home, you're screwed. That's why, since they've taken the printer off my box and hooked it up to a Windows box, if I want to print a document I have to convert it to a format that Windows can read, copy to a floppy, and take it over to one of the Windows boxes. Grrrr.
I have MDK 9.1 setup on an old box to link with my XP box.
Samba seems to work great as a server...I can browse my home dir from the XP box.
But I cannot see any files on the XP box from Linux.
I can browse the network. I can find the XP box. I can see the share name "ddrive" (I know, not very imaginative, but it does the trick..I know what it is.)
After opening "ddrive" there are no files shown.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong???
