John,
I've seen something like this in the past where I have a laptop that is
normally connected to a Win2K AD. I try to connect to a Samba share on my linux
box at home and get a similar message. I connect, remotely, to my AD domain,
and I can magically connect to the share. My wife can connect no matter what
from her Win2K box. Hence, the reason I suspect that you're on a domain.
Is you Win2K box part of an AD Domain? If so, I believe that the connection is
being refused because your RH 7.3 box isn't connected to the AD domain, and
the Win2K box is refusing due to a lack of credentials. If so, I'd try
adding the RH box to the domain.
YMMV. I am by no means an expert at this stuff.. but have monkeyed with it
enough to get myself in trouble.. and back out. :-D

Subject: [Samba] Win2k PC and RH7.3 PC on LAN
I have a PC running RH7.3 which is connected to a LAN
I want to access another PC, named "Foo", running Win2k
I type in "smb:Foo" in the address line in nautilus and then log in to
Foo
Then I double click on the shared folder and i get a dlg box that says:
You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of
"shared"
Looking in Win2k, it says that the folder is shared with "everyone"
Looking in RH, it says the permissions are drwxrwxrwx
but there must some easy permission thing I'm overlooking.
What do I need to do? A mod to smb.conf?
Thanks,
John
