[Samba] Unable to write to Samba Share from WinXP

[Gerard Seibert]

Samba 3.014a

I have three computers networked together. Two are WinXP Pro and one is a FreeBSD 5.4 running Samba.

I cam use 'smbclient' to exchange files between the computers. However, when I attempt to use the WinXP machines to send a file to the Samba machine I receive an error message. This is the usual message:

***************************************
Access Denied

Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use.
***************************************
 This is the smb.conf file.

	lpresume command = lpc release '%p' %j
	queuepause command = lpc stop '%p'
	queueresume command = lpc start '%p'
	printer name = canon

I cannot understand what the problem is. I would appreciate any
assistance someone could afford me.
