problem solved. I forgot to reply.
It's the veto files = /.*/ line in smb.conf
Thanks for the link. I now got another place to check for problems.

Next lesson is trying to upgrade the Xfree86 in workstation 3.1 to 4.2.0
It could be fun...

smaba 2.2.2 and winXP Home

[Chang[linuxism]]

Trying to connect my sister's PC using WinXP Home
to my linux server.

I can see the samba shares (security=user).
One samba share was named  pub.
But I could not click into pub via My Network Places.
WinXP would complain about Location of files not available ...

But if I issue: net use z: \\server\pub\hardware then I could use the
share. 
Was there a samba option that I forgot to set?
