I've got a home LAN through a modem/router and ethernet switch with 4 PCs.

I have recently set up one PC as a file/print server utilising Mepis SOHO Server beta ( debian based).

I have set up the Server with a system hard drive, and 2 data hard drives ( /data and /media). I have set these 2 drives as Shares and made all directories/files "owned" by my user.

I can access the Shares from all of the other 3 PCs, but can only see the files in the shares from one of these PCs.

The 3 Workstation PC's have the same user name and password, the Server Shares being owned by the same user, but with a different password, so that I need to log-in from the workstation PCs.

Non-server PCs are running XP, Kanotix and Simply Mepis ( both Debian).

All PCs are using the same workgroup name and are in the same IP range etc.

The problem occurs even with firewalls turned off.

I'm obviously overlooking something simple, but can't figure out what it is.

Suggestions please.

Bill
