hello friends,

i have configures samba as a pdc in suse 10.1 and it works fine for few days .Recently, when i tried to join some of my win 2k and xp machines,a quite new problem arised. I could map the network drive to each pcs and the networked windows machines shows the linux shared drive,namely data on server.But,the shared drives(users,and data) on the windows machine is not visible via network neighbourhood.when i navigate through the networkneighbourhood, it shows each systems in my domain and when i clicked in to these systems only printers alone visible no shared folders .what might be went wrong ???? can anybody help me .thanks in advance.

If I understand the issue I'd guess you don't have ntfs permissions set to access folders.

I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

Do you have anything shared? When you join an xp machine or 2000 machine to the domain it turns off all that soso's documents. Because why would you want your co-worker to connect your documents. It's a security risk. That's what the Server for, right? Storing Files or your wouldn't be using Samba. The samba config on the server doesn't have a damn thing to do with it. Find your favorite folder on one of those pc's which you think is broken and right click, use the mouse and click where it says "sharing." Enable File Sharing.

95% of all computer techs don't know crap, and 99.5% of computer techs think they know everything.

thanks for ur suggessions ,

but i am not clear

can u elaborate please
