I'm having problems connecting to a Samba server from my Windows 98 machine.
Ultimately, I would like printing to work. But, I'm just trying to get the
"homes" part to work first.
Samba 3.x is running on a Mac OSX 10.4. I can connect using smbclient on both
the Mac itself and on my Linux machine. For example,
$ smbclient //mini/noelle
works. It asks for a password, I type it in and I'm in. But, when I try
\\MINI\noelle
from my Windows 98 machine, it always fails. It asks for a password, I type it
in, and it says "The password is incorrect. Try again". Also, it
says "Resource \\MINI\IPC$".
I had had "encrypt passwords = no" and smbclient wouldn't work.
But, after I changed it to "encrypt passwords = yes", it started
working.
I tried adding the "log level = 5" hoping that I would get more
diagnostics about what is happening, but it produces no more diagnostics. At
least, not on this Mac.
I included my smb.conf below.
Any help in trying to figure out what's happening, I'd appreciate it.
