Ok .. we've updated a computer to the most recent build of windoze 98 .. and it still can't see the Samba share. When that computer tries to connect to the samba computer .. it reacts in the same way as it would if it were trying to connect to an NT workstation .. when the NT workstation doesn't have a user that matches the username the windows98 is logged in as. ... Eg .. it says something like: \\GULCO\IPC$ Passwd: And it doesn't matter what passwd you type .. because there is no such share IPC$ It can see the win95 boxes on the net just fine .. but not the samba server. All the win95 boxes (and even the NT boxes) can see the samba server. From the win98 box I can ping/telnet/ftp/retrieve mail .. but I can't map shares. Very annoying. Anyone else have a simular problem... or know of a fix? -- Robert

However, 'Find -> Computer' (and typing the name of the Samba box) works. Perhaps this bug should be reported to M$. ;-) Clive -- C Messer <clive@epos.demon.co.uk> | "I pressed her thigh and death smiled." <clive@epos.easynet.co.uk> | Jim Morrison.

have you added shares there? i had the similar probllem here, when i missed this step..
yes .. added shares .. and all the win95 boxes can map to these shares beautifully On Fri, 15 Aug 1997, Fyodor Yarochkin wrote:> have you added shares there? i had the similar probllem here, when i missed > this step.. >
Hello, Have you tried to use encrypted passwords instead of clear text? I had a similar problem with NT 4.0, but now everything is fine.> > Ok .. we've updated a computer to the most recent build of windoze 98 .. > and it still can't see the Samba share.

Very annoying. > > Anyone else have a simular problem... or know of a fix?I had a similar problem with Win95. If the user logs into Win95 with the username that exists on the Samba server, but with no password or a different password, Samba ALWAYS rejects the user. My fix was to modify the local.h file and change GUEST_SESSETUP to be 2 and recompile Samba. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tim Winders, CNE | Email: twinders@spc.cc.tx.us | | Network Administrator | Phone: 806-894-9611 x 2369 | | South Plains College | Fax: 806-897-4711 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
