This is not a request for help as I'd like to figure it out on my own ;)
My question is have any of you had issues with connecting to Samba shares from your Ubuntu machine to Windows XP Pro machines. Basically no matter how I log in and what permissions I get to the shares I do not have the "write" permission to them. Even if I log in with my own username that is explicitly allowed full control to every single file in that folder.
I'm wondering because I had the issue with my laptop (running Breezy) when dealing with SMB shares on two different XP machines one of which used to work just fine and I changed nothing. My only guess is the latest Windows patches might have broken that as I have not updated SMB on my Ubuntu.

It works for me. In your fstab line indicate the rights you want to have to the share.

I'll try but that's the thing I changed nothing so was wondering if it's my personal problem.
