Not too long ago, I had some trouble setting up sharing between
two Win2k boxes. Turns out Microsoft added some security (gasp!)
to file sharing in 2k. In order for user BGates on Machine-A to
access files being shared by Machine-B, an account for BGates
must exist on Machine-B. Does your 2k box have account(s) for
your Linux user(s)?
