<div>No, that's OK at the moment. /var/lib/samba/usershares should
contain files with the names of shares on your machine. These
files should be owned by you. If they aren't, from terminal,
type 'sudo chown <username>:<username>
/var/lib/usershares/<sharename>'.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You should have something like this:</div>
<div>ls -l /var/lib/samba</div>
<div>drwxrwx--T 2 root sambashare 4096 2011-02-09 20:30
usershares</div>
<div>ls -l /var/lib/samba/usershares</div>
<div>-rw-r--r-- 1 simong simong 78 2011-02-09 20:30 music</div>

Well, got rid of the error 255, but still cant see the directories
from the other computer, so something is still stopping the network.<br>
