Hi all, I have a network at home
I have not problems using the wndow$ box to access the samba server, but If I wanto to access a win box form a linux machines using nautilus (gnome file manager) and typing this on the address bar smb//windows-box

I get a authentication box asking for a user name and password in a windows box
I type a valid username and password, ( I have the same user name and password on the samba server)

then I get the error messages saying the
I have not rigths to this folder

even I try the windows admins user and password.

any help please.

try to mount your windows share to your linux filesystem:

mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=passwd \\\\windowsbox\\share /mnt/winshare

then you'll be able to access that windows share by CDing into /mnt/winshare.

still not working,
I just shared the folder as full permision to every body.

still not working

What version of Windows is it?

I noticed on my similar setup at home, that blank passwords will not work - if you are using one, try using an non void password.

Try creating another username and password and connecting with that.

Make sure that you don't have NTFS permissions that are conflicting with the share permissions.

thanks,
I login as administrator, ( same as admin on window$ , same password)
no ntfs issues.
I going nuts.
thanks

Ok here is the output of console mode, ( I open nautilus on a terminal, pointed to smb:// the samba net came out, click on a windows box, --- the authentication dialog came out -- I type I user name for windows and linux - boths exist on the 2 os and machines.-- and I get this on the terminal:

+ uri:'smb://laptop' is_proxy_auth: 0
