I would say that this is permissions problem. Does the user that Samba is using to do the mount have the correct permissions over on the W2K Box. The files you are creating will be owned by the Samba user so you will be able to see them. As an experiment recently I tried this. I mounted the root directory of all our user directories on the NT server as a Domain Admin user and had access to all the directories and files. My Workstation is running W2K. >I'm also having problems getting the W2K box to connect to a share I've >set up on one Linux boxes, even though I can SMB mount it happily from >another box, but I'm less worried about that, because sure that will be a >simple configuration issue.
