Hi all I've just come home to find each time I try to connect my win2k machine to my linux box, it opens to display the contents of my home dir on there and the windows box crashes. This has not happened before today and to the best of my knowledge I've not changed the configuration of anything on the system. This happens even if I try to connect as a new user. Anyone got any ideas? cheers matt

Win2k is a little odd, I think, over 95/98. I assume you aren't running samba as the pdc. Is your user properly registered in both Linux and Samba with the correct home directory permissions? Since the only "new" thing is the user, it presumably has to be connected to that! Can "old" users log on OK? -- Best wishes, Derek

It's just running so I can access all the files I use at work from home. I've narrowed it down to the anti virus, which was AVG. I've had loads of problems with it especially with firewire drives. etc. Cheers anyway Matt
