UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have Samba 3.0.20b installed on a RHE9 server.

I have a mix of 2k and XP pro stations through out my office.

I have 2 shares on the samba server.

If on a 2k machine I do a search for a file on 1 of the shares I find the files.
If I do the exact same search from the xp machine it fails to find the files. I can manually go into the subfolders and see the file. (yes xp is set to look in subfolders)

Even if I go to the folder that has the file and tell xp to search for that file it still reports back no files found.

The XP machine I'm working with is fully updated as of yesterday. I've tried looking all over the net but can't seem to find why XP will not show files when searching even though the files are there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

my samba config is as follows.
(folder names changed)

[folder2]

Code:

   path = /filesfolder/folder1
   public = yes
   writable = no
   browseable = yes
   printable = no

[folder2]

Code:

   path = /filesfolder/folder2
   public = yes
   writable = no
   browseable = yes
   printable = no

When I do testparm I get this as out put.

Code:

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = mydomain
        server string = my server
        security = SHARE
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 50000
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

[folder1]

Code:

        path = /filesfolder/folder1
        guest ok = Yes

[folder2]

Code:

        path = /filesfolder/folder2
        guest ok = Yes
