[Samba] Re: problems accessing samba server from Pocket PC with Windows Mobil e 2003

[Johnny Shih]

Hi Torsten,

Sorry I am able to offer a solution to your problem here.  Instead, 
myself has encountered the same problem since switching to samba 3 and 
is hoping to hear from you if you have got any progress since then.

Thanks alot,
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,
Johnny
