Network problems under WinXP and Samba

Post by flaxo »

hi!

i am experiencing problems viewing images on a samba network share which is accessible by any other application from my workstation. i allways get the error that it was not possible to access the workgroup "xxx" but when i dismiss the prompt the contents of the folder are shown and everything works as expected! when i try changing to another directory the problem reoccures. as i said the network setup works perfectly well for any other application, so i figured it has to be some sort of strange bug...

thanks...

There is no problem but only an error dialog box, is it right?
