Over the past week I have blown my entire lifetime allotment of time that I can afford to invest in Samba, so I'm done. Please don't offer help on this subject, my post is just a statement of grief, it's over now, I'm getting past the denial stage and into mourning. I tried everything Google had to offer -- hundreds of changes to the config, turned off iptables and the Windows firewall, etc. I have given up, and I'm not the only one so I guess it's just how it is gonna be. My wife's XP machine will never access a Samba share on my Linux box. Pity, but apparently I've got *lots* of company. So where to now: does anonymous rsync work from Windows? (Note: I'm about to post a more important request. This one is just a gripe, the next one is critical to my ability to stay with Linux.)
