Right. That's all sorted :) The machine (Saratoga) is now in workgroup (Yorkcov) and the comment is set to "Elwyns Mandrake, Samba Server 3.0.10" which is what I wanted. The "Type" is set to "Windows NT 4.9 Server" but I don't know why. Anyway, So. I've now got two shared folders "elwyn" and "ELWYN SHARED". The first one is my /home/elwyn directory, the second is a directory within home folder.... [ELWYN_SHARED] path = /home/elwyn/Shared comment = Shared Drive public = yes guest ok = yes writable = yes wide links = no That's from the end of my smb.conf file. I think the other problems I had was something to do with having two smb.conf files in areas that the computer could read them :( > > And, if that wasn't enough the web interface for Samba doesn't work.

However, I now have a webserver on my Mandrake machine. Got a nice startup page telling me what it can do and it's an advx.org server... Hmm. Features I suppose... Cheers, Elwyn
