Hi,

File server - samba 2.2.12
serving win95 and winXP systems.

Win95 systems see network appropriately.

WinXP systems can see the files
when I do 

run > \\servername\filefolder\

but NOT when I go into 
my network places...

What do I need to do to fix this?

notes - 
a)
changing the samba config files
at times knocks out the win95 clients..
(config file below)

b)
winXP pro systems - w/SP1
user id and passwd sync'ed with Samba server

c)
No PDC..

thanks
b
