Alex, I suspect you wont get far on this list with this type of question. Just reading the docs would have told you the answer to this ; http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html#id2463782 What I wanted was a mix of share and user level security but I dont think thats possible. Graham
Hi Graham,>I suspect you wont get far on this list with this >type of question.Thank you, but I have no intention of going far on this. I need a basic share & printer setup to work, and nothing further.>Just reading the docs would have told you the answer >to this ;Thank you for the reference. However, not this example, not others from similar sources, change what I observe. WinXP can see Win2K, but none can see the Samba box! I would appreciate a reference to a troubleshooting guide, or a maillist where a basic samba question can get a professional answer.
