Re: Connecting to a Windows share

["Jim DeCaro" <jdecaro2@gmail.com>]

Here are the files.  I have a user named Jim on an XP box and on a Suse
Linux 10.1 install.  Both have the same password.  I have enabled write
permissions on the share for jim on the linux box.  I cannot get the
connection from thw Windows box to the linux box to authenticate.  It tells
me I do not have permission to connect to the shares, however I can see
them.  I will get a logon dialogue box that does not work.

Any help would be appreciated.  Interestingly, samba works fine for
connections between the linux boxes, and it works most of the time from
linux to windows.  But not from windows to linux.
