I have a network with one Linux server (also a WINS server), one Linux
Workstation, two Windows Me workstations, and one Windows NT 4.0
workstation. The only problem I've noted (as I check now) is that the NT
box is denied permission to access shares on the Me boxes. I'm not sure
that that's a Samba issue, though. All three Microsoft boxes see the Linux
shares just fine, though, and the Me boxes see the NT shares and the other
Me shares, as well.

I'm running Samba 2.2 (the latest release).
