Have you set up shares in smb.conf? And is the user you are logged on to windows as included in those who can access the shares?

oops.... Thanks. Now that I am logged on using the same user name on both networks all is well. Now of to try more adventures on my new toy. How I setup SuSE to use Samba so that I could use it on my RM Connects network. before I did this I already had suse talking to NT so the networking/internet side had been taken care of. 1) downloaded samba from www.samba.org 2) installed samba using YaST 3) restarted both networks. Now I could see that I had a new domain in my network. and the Linux box was there in it. Excellent. I tried access the shared resources that I could see were available on the Linux box. But the stupid thing wanted a password. I only have 3 uses on Linux and none of there passwords would work. 4) to resolve this problem I thought that if I changed the domain info in smb.conf I would then get access to these files. wrong. 5) To gain access to the shared resources on the machine your windows logon name must match a Linux one (inc. password). Many thanks to Roger for all his help in the setting up of my Linux / NT System. Rgds James ---------- this
