I've had no problems accessing shares on a Win2K3 Server using samba
3.0.7. But then I use Linneigborhood utility to access these shares on
our network. Which are a mix bunch of Win2K/XP workstations and 2K/2K3
Servers. I had the similar problems of permission denied errors, but,
that was a firewall rule error. Fixing that solved that problem.
