There is no fault in FreeBSD because from a Linux computer , it is possible to access the Samba service . I tried FreeNAS , but installation did not work ( It was my first install , therefore , it is very likely that I made some mistakes ) . Windows is not able to see directory contents of Samba server . When directory is not visible , it is not possible to write into it . Perhaps in the Windows XP , some settings may be wrong or missing . For that reason , I wanted to have a COMPLETE settings applied , working example. There are the following pages : http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/toc.html Using Samba, 2nd Edition http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch02.html Chapter 2. Installing Samba on a Unix System http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch03.html Chapter 3. Configuring Windows Clients http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch05.html Chapter 5. Unix Clients Some Linux distributions have very well designed graphical Samba configuration applications . No one of them is working in the Windows side . My opinion is that , Samba installation is correct , but Windows side has problem which I do not know how to isolate it and to correct it . Only a working complete set up may be useful , because all of the examples are partial explanatory demonstrations . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
