I use Redhat Linux 9, SWAT version 2.2.7a-8.9.0 , and Samba version 2.2.7a-8.9.0. I have one Windows 2000 and one XP system that use the linuxbox as a filserver. There are various access problems with the Windows machines getting access to the Samba shares. The Windows2000 machine accesses the Linux shares fine (requiring authentication for each share and giving access rights based on the local acces rights of the user/password combination provided from the windows machine to access the linux share).... However, when at the Windows XP machine, the WindowsXP system can 'see' the host and it's shares on the network (my LAN) but when I double-click on the share, I get a Windows error message saying it cannot 'find the path' to the network share... Why is this happening?
