Question regarding accessing Samba / please respond

[Gourgy, Mona]

Hi,

The version of samba is 2.0.3.

Both of us are trying to do this from our PCs.  The operating system we are
running is Windows 2000.  

Please let me know if this answers your questions or if you need any
additional information.  Thanks your help.

two questions for you

what version of samba

what is the other user connecting from.  your connecting from a windows 2000
server he is connecting from...

an easy way to get a basic connection is to change the smb.conf line of
security = "somesetting" to security = share

also make sure the path you are trying to share has correct permissions on
the unix side.
