I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem that's driving me potty! I have a network at home of various flavour of Wind*ws and a Mandrake 8.1 Linux box. After much trial and error, I have set the sytem up so I can log on to the network from WIn NT, Win 2k, Win 98 - but, no matter what I try, I cannot get a Win 95 machine to connect. I have installed the vrdrupd.exe file on the Win 95 machine as that seemed to promise my success, but still no joy. I can see the homes and share directory I set up, but I just keep getting told I'm entering an incorrect password. I'm using exactly the same techniques on my Linux box to set up accounts for all types of Wind*ws machines - but the password is still, apparently, invalid when I enter it on the 95 machine. Is it something to do with encrypted passwords? I have: encrypt passwords = yes in my smb.conf files. Please remember, it's *only* Win 95 machines I can't connect (I have tried two). Thanks for your help. Rob.
Robert, I had exactly the same problem until I set encrypt passwords to no. Try that and see if your win95 computer connects. Your other clients won't be able to but you will know what the problem is.

Rob, Win95 only does plain text passwords out of the box. There is a Microsoft Knowledge base article related to that and according to it there are two updates that you need to apply. Here's the article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q165403 Regards.

Why don't you turn off encrypted passswords and check that out? Joel
One other piece on info that might help, I can click on the Linuxbox icon in Network Neighbourhood and see the directories. One time it asked me for a password just to *see* the shared directories, but then asked again for a password to get in to to the directories, once it had accepted the password to view the shares.
No, I mean turn off encrypted passwords on the samba server.
