samba - May 2005 - Problems with norwegian letters when browsing samba share.

Hello!

I have three machines, from witch I browse a samba share.

The problem is that if I create a cataloge with a norwegian letter(?, ?, 
?) in it, the only machine that can show this correct it sthe machine 
that created the cataloge. The other machines don't show this correct. 
The letters get swapped out with either underscore or some other funny 
looking letters, depending on witch machine created the cataloge.

The three machines is,
the samba server itself, running ArchLinux
a workstation, running ArchLinux
and another workstation, running Windows XP

The software is up to date.

Does someone have an idea what the problem might be, and how to fix it?

I have to be able to use Norwegian letters, can, see/write them both in
Windows and on TTY and pts CLIs.

Make sure you have:

display charset = ISO-8859-1 (or -15 if you want to write EURO signs)
dos charset = 850

in [global].

If you don't have anything for "unix charset", you'll get
UTF-8, which
is what you need.

Best,
