From Linux to WinME works fine, can mount my dad's shared folder etc. The problem is only from winme i cannot see Samba in network neighborhood. When I press Add network place and type in \\STEVY and press next i can see the shared folder on Samba. When i click on Win-D and finish, i get an error " The network place could not be added because of an extended error. " After this i can double klick on " entire network " and see my samba server. Double klick on it and i see the home dir, but when i klick on win_d it comes with another error ( see Attachm.)

Here is my smb.conf :

# Global parameters

Since you can view your home directory my first guess would be that ME doesn't like the share name of \mnt\win_d since it has the special character \. Try changing it to something without special characters in it. To view the share on the ME side in a DOS prompt type in the comand

net view \\stevy
