Dale; Could be that you need to set the proper permissions to access the
drive first. The username you use for the second PC needs to be setup on the
Mandrake box as a user, then using Konqueror, give the new user permission
to access the 30 Gig drive. When that's done, restart samba and all should
be well. By the way, can the other machine see the "/public" drive? It
should be able to see it but not access it until you add the second PC as a
user of the Mandrake box.
