I've setup a wireless network with a Linux server, several Windows XP PC's and a PocketPC running Windows Mobile 2003 SE. The Linux server is running Debian and Samba 3.0.10. All is working fine, with Samba as a domain controller and serving shares for the Windows PC's. However my PocketPC is unable to connect to a Samba share (it can connect just fine to a share on Windows XP) and gives the error "Cannot find the file '\\' (or one of its components)'. I set a high loglevel in Samba (10) and noticed a few things in the log: - A log is created with names like "log._cerdr6d2c7891" where the device logs it's details ( I've configured Samba to create a logfile per device). - NT LM 0.12 is the requested and selected protocol. - Client arch is 'CIFSFS'. - A message stating "receivbe_smb_raw: length < 0!". - Followed by a message stating "End of file from client (client has disconnected)". Any clues on how to proceed? Ron Moerman
