I stumbled onto another tidbit that may shed some more light. From the new laptop, I tried to create a new folder on the 'samba' share. It fails with the following error message: "Unable to create the folder 'New Folder'. Access is denied" It obviously looks like a permissions issue, but what? I did not have to make any changes to my other laptop (upgraded from XP standard to SP2), and it can create directories on the 'samba' share just fine.
