samba - Jun 2002 - Asking for Password

Please forgive me but I am pretty new to Linux.   I have Samba set up on a
Server and when I go to access it from a windows workstation one, a box pops
up with the resourse as \\servername\IPC$ <file://\\servername\IPC$> 
asking
for a password. I have the right domain and my username is the same as my
windows password?  
Why would I be getting these messages?    What am I doing wrong?

You need to configure the Samba server to authenticate users against the
domain's PDC. Read this document for details:
http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/DOMAIN_MEMBER.html

Hope this helps,

Alex.

Marcus,
I think you need to have the line:
encrypt passwords = Yes
in the global section of smb.conf.

Ok I think I found my problem.  In the global of smb.conf I had wins
support:no but when I change it and restart samba I get this message
"Access
control violation : /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start failed"  and nmbd won't
start
either.  What am I doing wrong??
