Win98: net use works, Map Network Drive doesn't; no browsing, either
Hi all! I'm using Samba v2.0.4b with Mac OS X. My Win98 machines are giving me behavior that I'm having difficulty diagnosing: * The server doesn't show up under Network Neighborhood. * Map Network Drive doesn't work with the "netbios name" I specified. I may be confused, but it doesn't work with the "workgroup name", either: \\NETBIOSNAME\SHARE NAME \\WORKGROUPNAME\SHARE NAME both result in "The computer or share name could not be found." * Map Network Drive won't let me use the IP address, either: \\<ip addr>\SHARE NAME returns "The following error occurred while trying to connect F: to \\<ip addr>\SHARE NAME: More data is available." I may be confused here, too: am I allowed to use the IP address like this? (Can I access the "more data" that is supposedly available, or is this just a silly message?) * However, the following command *works* at a DOS prompt (with the drive usable from Win98): net use F: "\\<ip addr>\SHARE NAME" EnablePlainTextPasswords (or whatever that key is called) is set to 1. Before I set it, the "net use" command didn't work (as expected). Win98 is logged in with the Mac OS X user and password I set up to access SHARE NAME. Without being logged in like this, "net use" doesn't work (as expected). While I only want machines logged in this way to see the share, I'll take anything I can get to get it working. My smb.conf is below (names changed; please pardon my paranoia). Many thanks for any assistance you can provide!
