Hi, I have no problems whatsoever accessing and using my GNU Linux user directory from Windows Vista, but the reverse is not true. My /etc/samba/smb.conf has this (via testparm -s):
---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->--- ~$ testparm -s /etc/samba/smb.conf Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[print$]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC [global] server string = %h server obey pam restrictions = Yes passdb backend = tdbsam pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *p assword\supdated\ssuccessfully* . unix password sync = Yes syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 domain logons = Yes dns proxy = No panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers ---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->--- I'm a KDE user, so I go to Network folders, click on the machine running Windows. A folder "C$" shows up, and then clicking on it tells me that "The file or folder smb://machine/C$ does not exist. However, it asks me for a user name and password at other times, so the behaviour is not consistent. Any advice on what needs to be done would be appreciated. Thanks.
