Hi Scott,

You could try to put:

   writable = yes

in the [Shared] section. Also, does the user you are connecting with 
have the correct permissions to write to /u1?

I have XP connecting to a samba server on FreeBSD 4.6.2, I can both read 
and write from my home directory.

Hope you figure it out,
Thanatos
