If that's the case, then I suspect Samba's not connecting with the credentials we think it's supposed to use. > I must admit I don't understand the Windows XP Pro permission setup; > Can you suggest a document that describes this? Heh. No; I've learned (painfully) over the years. However, googling with "NTFS permissions explained" will give you a number of overviews and tutorials. > How exactly does one determine if one has "full rights" on a folder? > Doesn't the fact that I can browse through a folder on the Windows machine > show that I have full rights on the folder? You'd think. Right-click on a folder--if you're running XP Pro, you can then click on the "Security" tab. That'll show who has permissions, and what permissions. For XP Home, it's not as easy. The first place to look might be: http://tweakhound.com/xp/xpperm/xpPerm1.htm Do this after you've looked at some of the permissions tutorials. Another thing--you may want to get Webmin. Yeah, yeah--real {Uni|Linu}xHeads Use The Command Line, and eat config files for breakfast. Nevertheless, Webmin can give you a real leg up in configuring services, including Samba; you can then go read the config files generated to figure out what it's really doing.
