You may be right. I've read places about people modifying registry
entries on XP Home clients to get things to work properly, but according
to the Samba3 book, if configured properly that's not the case. I
dunno, I avoid Windows when I can, and when I am forced to use it, Win2k
or XP Pro. Sorry I couldn't be of more help :-)
Good luck,
Ryan

that didn't work properly with XP Home, not peer-to-peer access.

I'm pretty sure I read somewheres that XP Home Edition and Samba just
will not work, period.... I think it was the Samba3 By Example book,
written by Jerry Carter...but Jerry might be able to support/deny that
claim.
Best,
