Do you have a share setup on your Samba box? What are its permissions? What is the version of Samba you are running (I seem to recall there being a problem with some fairly recent versions of Samba having trouble with WinXP)? Have you looked at your Samba logs ( /var/log/samba/log.* )? Let us know, and we can proceed from there. Dave -- Beware the wrath of dragons, for you are crunchy, and good with ketchup.
