Hi all. This is one for the mail archives. In order to log in SAMBA, you'll probably want to turn on plain text passwords in the registry (see the file "ENCRYPTION.txt" that comes with the source). In Windows 95 revision 2, this was enough. However, Windows 98 may come with a sevice called "Microsoft Family Logon" installed. This appeared to inhibit my machine from giving the correct password to the Samba server when I tried to connect to one of its shares. On removing this service (but not "Client for Microsoft Networks"), and double checking that the correct workgroup was still set in the "Client for Microsoft Networks" control panel, I then found that I could connect. Eddie.
