If I've read your posting correctly, you have a Mepis server, and one
each of XP, Kanotix and Mepis workstations. I'm guessing that you have
issues with access from the Linux workstations.
I'd be suggesting not using Samba for access from the Linux workstations
- use NFS instead, as it bypasses the problem of "pretend-permissions"
that samba uses to translate the Unix permissions into smb, and also the
overhead of samba and lisa.
That's how we set up our Linux workstations. Samba is only used by our
Windows boxes, and Lisa only by the Linux boxes to access shares on the
Windows boxes.

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
