Thanks daRcmaTTeR Ok, so if we assume thats what it is.. how do I convince the win2000 pc that its talking to a win98 machine??
is it possible that this install is setup as a master server and as a result win2000 assumes that its NT ???? is there a way around this??? It wasn't doing it before on 8.1, so I guess either this time I made it the master or I've loaded something on the win2000 box that has changed the default method??? any ideas? or must I just put up with it or copy them to a fat32 partition on the linux box??? regards Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of daRcmaTTeR Sent: Saturday, 18 May 2002 7:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] Samba issues.

It's like a direct link to the file that is indexed in the registry. it would appear that since win2K on your windows machine is seeing your samba shares as NTFS shares and is attemting to copy the file's registry information as well as the actual file itself. I thought that string of characters looked familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on why exactly. I have a window xp machine at home and in the window temp folder there are folders whose names are surrounded by curly brackets, and their names appear in much the same way as those strange filenames that you're seeing on your image file names. I too have samba running and I think a few of the shares I left set on the default FS which is NTFS. one or two of the others are set as FAT32. I haven't seen any of this behavior...yet. -- daRcmaTTeR ---------- Registered Linux User #186492 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
