[HELP] XP Guest Account Network Drive Access

[chaz1951]

The admin account can see the shared storage bia the network, map it to a drive letter, and have full access to it.

The guest account does not see the new drive "Z", not can it access the storage via the net.

The guest account can see the remote system via the network neighborhood, but receives an error when attempting to access it.

The storage in question is a SAMBA system running on a Linux box.

This looks like some kind of permissions problem to me but I have not had any success in finding out how to fix it.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Regards,

Chaz

Your Samba configuration file (on the Linux box) should have a line in it like the following for the share you have set up:

guest ok = yes

If it doesn't, change it to read that way or add the line in it. An easier way to manage Samba shares on a Linux box would be to install SWAT (Samba Web Administration Tool), but I won't really get into that.
