I'm not sure I understand that.  I have several shares on my Linux box.  My
NT accounts are able to connect to my 'share' share, which is simply
/share_root on my linux box, but called 'share' in terms of netbios.  Why
would I be able to connect to \\machinename\share but not
\\machinename\homedirname?  Both of my machines are inside a firewall, and
share the same subnet so I do not use lmhosts or a wins server.

Thanks
