[NMLUG] Couple of samba questions.



sorry, Joe.  I think you've got my dilemma backwards.  I am not able to
access a winxp share from linux/samba.  Winxp can access samba shares just
fine.

for the record though,

server=share
no active directory
all shares work on linux/samba box and can be accessed by all other os's.
