Hi all, I have had a similiar problem, I have samba 2.2.1a running on my server and with win98 machines, it works great. but the win2000pro boxes can see the server and browse its shares, but can't access anything, IE, I have user shares setup, so that if the user is franki on the windows 2000 box, samba "shares" that users home directory on the server, same password with smbpassword and same password on the unix box itself. anyway, it can see the files and directories in /home/franki and can browse the directories in it,,, but it has no access to the files, even if they are owned by frankie and unlimited in read/right permissions (666) (it can't read anything I have in the shared /tmp directory either... I can't think for the life of me why it works for win98 and not 2000 (samba 2.2.1a is supposed to be fine with win2000) does anyone know anything about this? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Serge Sent: Monday, 13 August 2001 8:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Samba (client problems) Thanks for all the replies and advice. The firewall was the problem and once configured correctly I was able to get access to the Linux PC from the Windows 98 PC. Thanks for all your help.
