Thanks Bill, will give this a try. Have been quite busy and have done other stuff to FC3 since I messed around with SAMBA. There is also a "built in" SAMBA administrator to FC3 called SHANK or SHAWK or something like that. Read it in a Manual on FC3 at a bookstore and now, of course, I can't remember the acronymn. Ugh. Anyway, I will give this a shot. Thanks so much for your help.

Have Fedora Core 3 (open source distro based on Red Hat) and am using it as a test server of sorts. Have installed SAMBA so that it can communicate with the Win2000 network. Although I can get FC3 to print to network printers and actually see computers in the network, I cannot get my Win2000 client to access the FC3 computer (that is, see the directories). If I go into My Network Places I can see the server, just can't access its contents. Ugh. Have looked in various manuals. Still puzzled. Seems like a permissions problem to me but I can't resolve whether or not it is a problem on the Windows or Linux side of the equation. Any help would be appreciated.
