I have created a samba share on my Linux box for the users home directory, and can map a drive to the share from W2K clients and see/open all the files, the problems arise when I try and edit or create files, from the W2k client.
If I attempt to create a file through windows explorer I get the message 'Unable to create the file. xxx.txt' 'The specified Network name is no longer available'
But the strange part is - the file is created! I can then edit this file using notepad and save its contents, but if I try to edit the file in other apps (Excel, UltraEdit) I get file errors when I attempt to save it, and my linux home directory fills up with hundreds of .tmp files, whilst the application tries to save the file.
Any ideas? I'm running Samba 2.2.7 on Mandrake Linux 8.2
The created file is owned by the correct user and has the rights -rwxr--r--
Here's the relevant section of my smb.conf file.

smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
