file sharing question
« on: March 29, 2008, 11:54:32 pm »
Hi,
I recently installed the ebox OS on what I hope to be my new home server.

The installation went well, but I have a questions regarding file sharing aka samba. I have created the ebox server to act as a PDC and have create shares with no problem.

I can access those shares from my Win XP PC. However when creating files and folders on the server using my XP machine, I notice that I have to manually refresh the dialog box in order to see my changes to the folder/share on the server.

Does anyone know how I can address this?

Thanks in advance..

Andrew ???

Do you have to refresh the window of the very same machine from which you made the modifications?

Yes. I ended up putting the server into a member server mode and the problem occurrance dropped.

The workaround fix is that I have to break my connection from my XP machine and re-authenticate. Once done I can rename folders and files.

Thanks for the assist.
