Win2000 connecting to Samba 2.0.6 server
Greetings: I have just upgraded my Win98 client machines to Win2000, and now, I am no longer able to connect to my Samba Server, nor any of the samba shares. The ip addresses of the Client workstations are in the range of 192.168.0.200 tto 192.168.0.250. The ip address of the samba server is 192.168.0.4. The client workstations belong to the 'workgroup' group. Below is a copy of my smb.conf file: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = workgroup log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 interfaces = 192.168.0.4 netbios name = otis dns proxy = No server string = SambaServer [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba print ok = Yes browseable = No [music] browsable = Yes comment = Music write list = @peters create mode = 777 directory mode = 777 writable = yes path = /usr/sshare/music This configuration has worked, and is still working with Window95 and 98 clients. Any assistance would be appreciated. Also, where might I find information on using unencrypted passwords in Win2000. Thanks, Charles Charles Peters mailto:support@tecpro.com

You may wish to try upgrading.> Also, where might I find information on using unencrypted passwords > in Win2000.Look in the docs/ directory that ships with Samba source. There are three .reg files to enable this in Win95, NT and Win2000. Peter
