XP and Samba share drive error

[Marcel Kunath]

another update.

Ok an update.

I can access the samba machine fine. \\netbios_name works. User logon and
script excecution works fine too. I do not have large file support. I don't
ever have big files really.

I CAN oddly enough also mount any shares which are not home directories and
read/write in regards to them.

I can mount \\server\homes or \\server\username or \\server\username-home but
not functionally access them:

Here are the important parts of my smb.conf

#\\server\homes or \\server\username doesn't work

        comment = %U Home Directory

        create mask = 0644
        guest ok = Yes
