Many thanks! > > Shan You're going to have to dig into your smb.conf - the easiest way to do so is through Webmin and SWAT (which should be installed on your system by default). Everything has to be "just right" for a Windows network - and you WILL have to make direct modifications to your Samba configuration if you're going to "share" properly on the network. Take my word for it - I do THAT bit every day...(and it sucks that you have to reboot a Windows box, but for a linux box, you just restart the service...gads...)
