I've installed samba in my linux machine (Mandrake 7.2).
With WinNT and Win2000 there is no problems, but in Win95 and Win98 It's
impossible to read files, and open exixting folders, the error is: "the
file (folder) don't exist".
If I try to create one, It'isn't shown, there is an error, but if I go
in machine with win2000 the folder(file) is there.
How can I resolve this problem?
Thank yuo in advantage

Roberta: You haven't given much info about your system, but here is a suggestion: Check the names of your share points -- keep them to 11 characters or less. I don't know if this is what is going on with you, but win95/98 can only handle share points with 11 chars or less. In other words: You can't have "\\sambaserver\the place where users keep their files" it must be much shorter, like: "\\sambaserver\userfiles" Windows 2000, on the other hand, can see share names much longer. Hope it helps. It drove me nuts when it happened to me!

The access rights under Linux should be ok.
There an other problem with Win95 and Win98: When I try to move a folder o a
file there is the error:
It's impossible to move, the path is not found.
Could help me again?
Thanks
