I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but since the title is kind-of non-specific you've given me no choice . I've recently set up a linux (gentoo) file-server to store movies (played via my hacked xbox) & for my wife to store her pictures on. My wife uses an XP box (only because she won't let me install linux on it, two because I need it to run Checkpoint VPN to connect to the office, but I digress ).

The problem is that although I can access the file-server fine via either ssh, smbmount or NFS from my own linux pc & the xbox uses smb:// to access & play movies great, my wife gets a error when trying to copy files over from her XP box, "path is too deep". The path to the folder is just three single-word directories down & I haven't been able to google any answers. Any ideas? tx

(now back to our regularly scheduled topic )
