Clients are Windows 2000; server is running Samba version
3.0.2a. We've been a W2K shop for some time but have started to get in
a few Windows XP systems (principally laptops). The issue we're
experiencing with the Win XP machines is that they can't map the homes
share, either through a VPN or when connected directly to the network
the samba server is on. All other shares remain accessable, including,
apparently, the "profile" share which is inside the home directory.
Yes, this is a second post regarding the "homes" share -
however, the first post deals specifically with W2K machines that are
accessing the homes share, but the homes share disappears somewhere
along the line. This email/thread deals specifically with Windows XP
*never* finding the homes share.
If the issues are related, great; if not, I didn't want to post
two different problems in one message.
I have gone through much documentation (though it wouldn't
surprise me if I missed something) and groups.google.com searches didn't
result in a solution (and only a couple of close "I'm having this
problem" matches).
