Does the PlainText password reg-hack for win9x work over PPP connections? I have a laptop that when connected to the lan, can access the samba server without issue, however, when dialed in to the internet, I get an "error 86: The password you specified is not correct..." from the win98 client when trying to access the same shares. The samba box has a world IP, and I can access it through telnet, http, etc. This works fine with win95 (all versions), and only seems to be a problem with win98. Here's the error from the samba log file... [2000/05/04 10:03:27, 3] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(725) sesssetupX:name=[MARCIEO] [2000/05/04 10:03:27, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(138) error packet at line 840 cmd=115 (SMBsesssetupX) eclass=2 ecode=2 [2000/05/04 10:03:27, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(143) error string = No such file or directory [2000/05/04 10:03:28, 3] smbd/process.c:timeout_processing(828) end of file from client [2000/05/04 10:03:28, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(406) Closing connections [2000/05/04 10:03:28, 3] smbd/server.c:exit_server(433) Server exit (normal exit) Any suggestions would be great.
