samba - Apr 2005 - Windows XP not connected to Samba network

Hello

 

I have a problem connecting my Windows XP Home Edition machine to the Samba
network. The SuSe Linux machine is visible on Windows machine, but when
clicking on an icon, it displays an error message: "//Server is not
accessible. You might not have the permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator.

 

The network path was not found. "

 

I am completely new to the Linux world, so I have not got a clue what is the
problem :-(. 

 

Thanks in advance,

Pertti

works like a charm though it is meant for RHEL and clones.
