Hello, Unfortunately I have been completely unsuccessful in getting my Win2000 box to gain authorization to mount a share from my RedHat 7.1 Linux box running Samba 2.2.1a. Would someone please help me solve this problem. I have methodically run and succesfully passed all but one of the troubleshooting steps in Chapter 9 of the O'Reilly book "Using Samba". The single failure I have is when I attempt to mount a linux share from my Windows 2000 box. I get the following error: \\Lalla is not accessible. The account is not authorized to login in from this station. This is what my smb.conf file looks like [global] server string = Samba %v running on %h wins server = 10.100.1.10 security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd hosts allow = 10.100.1. localhost [turner] comment = %U home directory writeable = yes valid users = turner path = %H I have used smbpasswd to add a password for turner to Samba and turner is a valid user on both the Linux box and the Win2000 box. So, rock solid from the Linux side. Dead in the water from the Win2000 side. Any help you can provide would be *very* appreciated. If it is relevant, we are using a dynamic DHCP server and currently my Linux box is without a doman name but has a valid IP address. Thanks for your time. Cheers, Douglass Turner email: turner@uvs.is
