I have a linux samba server on my network. I can see into the server fine. However I just mounted a remote linux server drive onto my samba server. I can see the files inside my server, but only on the server. If i go into network neighborhood on my win pc I can see the folder that contains the files but I cannot see any of them. Is there a step I missed. Here is how i shared the remote file

mount -t smbfs \\\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\\public /home/scott/mountstuff

and when I go to mountstuff on my server I can see the files. When I use my win pc I cannot see the files. Should I have done something else?

Sounds like win 9x? I had a long struggle with samba but only got it working rightwhen I found this: http://www.linuxjunior.org/cgi-bin/pet/pet.cgi?SUBMIT=Display&id=6 ;)

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was going through my /home/scott/mountstuff when all i had to do was click on my server and it was right there. Thanks for the help.
