Hi, i have simular Problems with win2000, but the problem apears only ifClients are Windows 2000; server is running Samba version 3.0.2a. We've been a W2K shop for some time but have started to get in a few Windows XP systems (principally laptops). The issue we're experiencing with the Win XP machines is that they can't map the homes share, either through a VPN or when connected directly to the network the samba server is on. All other shares remain accessable, including, apparently, the "profile" share which is inside the home directory.
Yes, this is a second post regarding the "homes" share - however, the first post deals specifically with W2K machines that are accessing the homes share, but the homes share disappears somewhere along the line. This email/thread deals specifically with Windows XP *never* finding the homes share. If the issues are related, great; if not, I didn't want to post two different problems in one message.
I have gone through much documentation (though it wouldn't surprise me if I missed something) and groups.google.com searches didn't result in a solution (and only a couple of close "I'm having this problem" matches).

wins fail (vpn or restartet nmbs ) so i decide to mount the home share
again in the netlogon script, this works.
It seems if the home share cant be located at login time matching it to a network drive automatic will fail, i guess this might be a slow wins answer about the service , what makes me wonder is the the problem never apears to the profile or netlogon share
so maybe some of the gurus has an answer.
Best Regards
