I have had about enough headaches with this and am resorting to trying to finding a solution from someone that may know how to fix this. I have samba running on a linux box, and have a win95 machine on the network that i'm trying to set up authentication with it. here's the problem. I cannot log in at all. It comes up saying "incorrect parameter" every time. However, i can cancel, and see the samba server listed in doing a "find" for the computer, but cannot browse to it at all. I have tried just about every thing possible and am about to give up. The diagnosis from the linux end sees everything just fine. The log.nmb shows the domain request coming in... but stops after that. It only shows such: Domain request for user George Token "ffff" i hope someone out there can help... todd Todd Warfield "I will fight no more...forever" hafnium@dilbert.shawnee.edu -- Chief Joseph http://dilbert.shawnee.edu/~hafnium {Nez Perce} System Administrator for dilbert Shawnee State Computer Society
