I am using fedora and I setup a shared folder with samba but I cannot access the share from a XP box.
I have the user and all setup correctly and on the xp box I can see the share but cannot access it.
Anyone have any ideas that I can try?

Yeah those problem accure when you run two sistems on one disk with 2 partitions, come to think of it I've never actually tried writting/reading files from linux to windows hm but I have tried the other way around. Just recently NTFS drivers were realesed to write to write on windows partitions from linux, if your using fedora try this linkfor the ntfs driver and you can also try fuse to create a fully functional filesystem, you can check it out here.
Hope that helps you in any way if not i'll think of something else

if the XP system is on the same computer, different partition, as knedl suggests, I would look into trying to mount the other partition in linux. I have done it before with the FAT32 filesystem but haven't done it yet with NTFS.
If they are 2 separate systems, try setting up the Samba server to 'security = share'. then verify the permissions on each folder you're sharing.
P.S. I believe this actually should belong in the 'Help' Forum

They are two seperate systems and smb.conf is setup as share.
I can access the xp shares from linux but not the other way around.. the xp box is ntfs also and that is not the problem.
