I am debbuging my Kubuntu Linux to Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 and 2 connection using Andrew Tridgell's excellent diagnosis.txt. The test fails on test 5 which should return a list of available shares from the server. From the XP command prompt: net view \\kinda System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied. I can't see why this error should be happening. Bother users have the same user name. The linux password is encrypted but I don't know about the WXP password.

Please ignore. I was trying to do net view \\kinda as root. Changing to user fixed it. Also it was Tridgell 8 not 5. Larry
