Thanks Larry. Finally got it to work. It took a while to figure out how to actually do that maximizing of the complete sda2 partition as I got an error and it failed the first few times I tried it. (See Brian's comment further below). But then I tried maximizing to only about 95% of what I

Sounds like local firewall rules. If they are on the same lan then try disabling the firewalls on each endpoint. Or try telnetting on all the ports used. Are you using an auth system like AD or local accounts? On 3/11/12, Michael Havens bmi...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, that is correct. Samba isn't

The error pasted is about name services, not printing. XP being XP, have you tried setting the samba box up for port 139 instead of 445? On Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 4:33 PM, Michael Havens bmi...@gmail.com wrote: it isn't fixed. On Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 4:19 PM, Lisa Kachold
