Alexander, Thanks for your help. It now looks like an XP issue (*grumble, grumble XP Home, grumble, grumble*) rather than a Samba issue, details below. > Am Do, den 18.03.2004 schrieb Tom Enterline um 22:50: > > Hi, > > > > I'm trying to get my FC1 system to share files with an XP Home system in > > peer-to-peer mode - I don't want to set up a domain controller, etc. If > > I boot my system into W2K, I can share files fine, so basic networking > > and setup on the XP system seems OK.

I then tried a different service smbclient -U USER //kehtron24/XP and everything worked fine! Then I remembered I couldn't access Tom from W2K either - I had just forgotten. Sorry for perhaps wasting your time. Now I have to figure out how to fix the XP side. It looks like a permissions problem, but XP Home doesn't seem to have permission settings. So I guess it's an ownership problem - I'll try recreating the folder under the same user I'm using from Samba. In any case, thanks for all your help! Tom
