I have installed samba on two different linux boxes that have identical os one system has only win95 and wfwg. All works perfect second system has only NT4.0 I can attach and use the 'public' guest ok= yes shares just fine the 'homes' shares and printers are visible. when I try to attach to a homes share of userxx by machine name userxx I get the same old 'access denied' error mentioned many times in the archives telling me that my work station is not allowed access. With the printer, I get a message telling me that I am not allowed access. I figure there is probably a problem with homes and the nt encrypted passwords, but the printer is a public share. HELP, I've spent hours trying to get this system to run samba 18-7 Michael
Regarding remote network browsing: We have had mixed success browsing Network Neighborhood from PPP-connected Win95 PCs. Our servers are all SAMBA, no NT here :-) The Win95s have WINS-server defined correctly in the network setup (checked by running winipcfg). We wait a couple of minutes after establishing PPP-connection, then try to browse. Now, some Win95s (my OSR2.1, for example :-) browse without problems, but others with a supposedly similar setup cannot browse. Is the problem with older Win95 versions, or something entirely different ? Note that we are all dialing in to the same IBM-8235 router, so everything ought to be the same, yet the Win95s seem to behave differently.

Hello Sambites....
I have a question. Has anyone been able to successfully create a Samba
Share on
an NFS mounted filesystem. I am running Samba-1.9.18p7 on a Solaris 2.6 box.
The file system that is shared is now a NFS mounted file system from another
Solaris 2.5.1 box. But I am getting errors when trying to access it from my NT
worksataion (nt4sp3 with PlainText Reg Edit).
\\svlbkupsvr\what is Not Accessable. The network name cannot be found.
Snipped from smb.conf

; this is the nfs mounted file system from another Solaris server
; Unix level access to NFS mount works fine.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
