Hello, i`m wondering if anyone can help me, i have a windows XP Pro system networked with s SuSe linux 7.3 system this is the first time i have used linus and want to use it as a fileserver i managed to get Samba working and got a directory shared so i can access it from windows. The Problem i`m getting is that samba is running and i can get access to shared folders from XP, i can`t create files or Folders when inside this folder though i have chmodded the file to 777, also i cannot seem to get swat running at all from windows, i have tryed //linux:901/ and this does nothing except bringup a page not found warning. can someone please help me as i`m eager to get into linux but don`t seem to be able to get any help with it Thanks Kris Davies The Source - Technical Support -- Source Software Limited.
