In your /etc/smb.conf, what type of security are you using? i.e. the line that says " security = user"
I set mine up to just share, to allow everyone to access it on my side of the network (all 2 of us). This is the same format that Win 95/98 uses to share its files. You CAN specify for a login/password, but if you're like us on my intranet, that just gets bothersome. If you do use share, check the file permissions of the actual folders your sharing. This is really hard to understand as I tell you, so take this example:
# example of a public share for anyone's use
[public]
comment = Public Dumping Grounds (no toxic waste)
path = /home/public
public = yes
read only = no
# now, you've got to make sure that /home/public
# has file permissions of 777, or else only root can
# write to it, while everyone else can read it.
That's how I have mine set up, and it works well. I just go drop whatever I need to it, then move it later. I haven't used 2k with linux, as my hardware wasn't very pleased to be running 2k when I first put it on. I'm moving towards 2k & linux this summer, though, before I go to college.
As a last ditch, you could just ftp it over there to wheverever you needed. I understand that destroys the need for samba, but it will work until you get samba fully up. I have yet to set it up on a user basis, that comes next on my rather large list of things to set up.
Any more samba questions/comments/what_the_hells just message back
