[Samba] Samba server can't see WinME

[Stephen Liu]

Hi All Guys,

I have a WinME box connected to a Samba Server (RH7.3) via a crossover 
cable as experiment.  Both boxes can be connected.  WinME can transfer 
files from the share folder of Samba Server and to the folder of the same 
but not the other way round.  Samba Server can't see the WinME box.

Test No.1
