Hi, Ow Mun That shouldn't be a problem with permission on my XP dir since I can do anything on that dir except copying files from samba server to it. I am using 'my network place' to browse that 'public' directory on samba. Since browsing shows all right, I don't think using IP address will be the way out. But anyway I will try tonight when I get back to my lovely PC :p Thanks anyway Kyle ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ow Mun Heng" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "gentoo" <gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org> Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2005 4:15 PM Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] samba problem
