Hi, I guess XP Home can Samba if McAfee allows it. I was able to access the Samba shares after I completly removed the McAfee firewall. Exiting the firewall and stopping the services proved to be of no use and caused me endless grief. I reluctantly gave it a shot since you expect the firewall to stop poking its nose after it is disabled and the services stopped and I was not expecting this weird behaviour. Thanks to all the kind folks who have helped me out with suggestions. -Venkata.
