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.

- which machines are having problems seeing the files? I assume the
linux boxes
- possibly use NFS for the linux boxes
- how are you mounting the shares on the linux boxes. I know you've got
to be careful with what options used when mounting smb shares to make
the permissions on the linux box right.....eg I believe you have to be
root to mount, in which case without special options on the mount, the
owner and group will be root....
