This sounds like permissions are not set correctly. I assume you're connecting from the host with the ip 192.168.100.x? Try to add a linux-user which is called exactly like your windows user (you can use 'useradd -g users -c "Samba user" -s /bin/false -d /dev/null USERNAME' to add a user with no local privileges except authentication for services like samba).
Ah! Got it! I am using the /etc/samba/smbusers file to map windows and linux users and the 'nobody' user was commented out. I just uncommented the line and now it works! --<snip>-- nobody = guest pcguest smbguest --<snip>-- Thanks! -- Andre Truter Software Engineer Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 AIM: trusoftzaf http://www.trusoft.za.net <-------------------------------------------------> < The box said: Requires Windows 95 or better... > < So I installed Linux > <-------------------------------------------------> Disclaimer and Confidentiality Warning This message is intended for the addressee only.
