I was able to access on win2K machine but wasn't successful on XP
computer. Is it something different on WinXP computer ??? And how do I
pass usernames with a space in between? Like if a username is "x y" how
do I give that in the samba mount command? And will this work on win2K
server too? 'cos I didn't check this on a win2K server, which is where
I've to use finally?
Thank you,
sanjay.
