Hi, New to Samba, RH8. Searched for an answer but without joy. I have set up a lone Linux machine with Samba on a Windows 2K network. I can log in from Windows -> Linux. I can also login into Windows resources from Linux when I use the command: smbclient //hostname/sharename -U username However, when I use Gnome Nautilus and the 'smb:' command, I can see the workgroup, enter and see the Windows server in the workgroup but when I open the server to locate the share I get ¨Couldnt Find \\hosename\sharename please check the spelling and try again¨ Any thoughts? Another question - are there any better ways of allowing a user access to a WinNT share than having to allow the Windows Guest user browse rights to the share?

I've googled for this and it seems quite a few people can't access Windows shares as described below. Is Nautilus & the smb: command buggy? --- James Taylor <james_n_taylor@yahoo.com> wrote:> Hi, > > New to Samba, RH8.
