    Linux-Windows file sharing

    I have just setup Suse and when I login as root I can access all the shared files on my Windows box, but when I login as a user I can see the Windows box, but cannot see any files or folders. This sounds to me like a permissions problem, but I can figure out where to go to change it. Any help?

    Thanks

    Do you get any error messages or is it simply blank?

    What types of shares are the Windows shares?

    It says it can't display the contents. I'm not sure what your mean by the type of share. I am sharing the c:\ drive on the windows system.

    By type, I mean FTP, NFS, Samba....

    Do you have to login to see the share? Does that user have permissions?
