How do I get a Windows client to work ?
----------
I have a Linux server. My Linux clients access it just fine. But my Windows clients give the right indication in the CMD window, and ping the server just fine, but say "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

I have it set up as TUN, not TAP.
All the HowTos said Windows would need a TAP adaptor, even though specifying TUN. That never worked, so I commented it out, then everything worked EXCEPT actually seeing the shares.

I'm running in Administrator of all things, just to give it every chance, and I still lack permissions ???

I'd sure appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank you!



DO I need a TAP adaptor ?
If so, how do you get them to work ?
