Hi, This has probably been covered before but after 4 hours of searching I'm nearly at the point of throwing my XP machine out of the window!! I have set up Samba (v 2.2.5) on my Red Hat 7.1 box. From the Red Hat box I can see all the other computers on the network (other Linux machines, Win2k, Windows ME and my Windows XP box), and get access to the shared drives on them. The linux box can also use the printers attached to the XP box..... My problem is that I can't get the XP box to connect to my Red Hat machine. It can see the machine on the network, it can even see the share, but when I try to access it, I get a username/password prompt. No matter what Username and password I use nothing seems to work. I have done the "requiresignorseal" registry thing. Below is my smb.conf.... I also can't connect from Windows ME, but this isn't so important! BTW Win2K is fine!! Please help... before I loose all my hair and have to replace my office window :) =======smb.conf==========# Samba config file created using SWAT # from voyager (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2002/08/06 15:08:45 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = HOME server string = Samba Server encrypt passwords = Yes map to guest = Bad User null passwords = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 domain logons = Yes preferred master = True domain master = True dns proxy = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [andyw] path = /home/andyw username = andyw guest account admin users = andyw ========END============ Andy Williams

[Samba] Samba and *groan* Windows XP Home problems!
Did you check the log file entries to see if anything was being generated (a permission denied message, etc.) /var/log/samba/.. somewhere under there. Try to connect then on your linux box: 'find /var/log/samba -mmin -2' to see logs that have been touch recently. Peruse those for messages Eric -----Original Message----- From: Andy - SMB [mailto:samba@hillway.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2002 10:02 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Samba and *groan* Windows XP Home problems!

Unfortunately, you need Windows XP **Professional** to be able to work with NT domains. That is one of very few differences between the Home and Pro versions. Try implementing share mode security, using [global] security = share Or, try Samba's "user mode" security: [global] security = user (This will get you username/password "logon" authentication, without implementing a full Windows NT domain. I **think** this will work, but I'm not sure.) Jay Ts jay@jayts.cx

Have you tried using guest ok = yes in the share and guest account = ftp in global?

[Samba] Samba and *groan* Windows XP Home problems!
It sounds like you're being prompted for the IPC$ (guest) password. This indicates that the user trying to connect from the XP box is unknown to the samba server, or the XP box is presenting ambiguous/invalid authentication info to samba. Check to see if the XP machine account has been added to the samba box. You'll have to look elsewhere for the syntax, I'm sorry to say. "man smbpasswd" would be where I'd start.

Cool!!!! I wonder if there are any licensing issues with this?
