Ken,

When you say Linux box, I am assuming you mean my laptop client trying
to access the Windows server 2003 ?
Sorry-I'm a Linux n00b. Want to make sure I understand.

My understanding from my readings on Samba - is that is not needed
when you just want to access Window folders on a server??

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba

My laptop with Linux (Ubuntu) in it is just a client trying to share
folders-which is my problem-cant access shared folders on server..

Thanks for your reply.

Alberto
