samba - Dec 2002 - how to verify the connection between a Samba server and a Windows Xp client?

Hi, there,

I have 2 machines ( running Linux Red Hat 8.0 and Windows Xp individually),
which share a broadband Internet connection through a router.

After installing Samba 2.2.7.a on Linux machine, I can use "smbclient"
to
access Windows machines, see the files and transfer files.

Linux machine info:
    name: WINNY
    share folder name: gong
    ip:    192.168.123.153
    valid user: gong
    password: 710224

Windows Xp machine info:
    name: GONG
    ip: 192.168.123.110
    log in as user: gong
    log in password: 710224

step 1:
On Linux machine, I can use:
    smbclient //WINNY/gong -U gong%710224

        //this command runs successfully, so that the Linux Samba server
works fine.
        // and it can accept user name and password.

step 2:
    delete the log.winny file on Linux.

step 3:

On Xp machine, I use:
    net use z: \\WINNY\gong /user:gong

        // it doesn't work, it reported: "The network path was not
found".

step 4:
    try to open log.winny file, but it doesn't exist. Therefore, the Samba
doesn't even receive the request from Xp client.

So my question is:
    how to verify the connection between these 2 machines works?

By the way:
    On Xp machine, I can use:
        ping WINNY
    or
        ping 192.168.123.153

    both works.



Could you give me any suggestion?

Thanks ahead!

Michael

TEST 9:
--------
 
Run the command "net use x: \\BIGSERVER\TMP". You should be prompted
for a password then you should get a "command completed successfully"
message. If not then your PC software is incorrectly installed or your
smb.conf is incorrect. make sure your "hosts allow" and other config
lines in smb.conf are correct.
 
It's also possible that the server can't work out what user name to
connect you as. To see if this is the problem add the line "user
USERNAME" to the [tmp] section of smb.conf where "USERNAME" is
the
username corresponding to the password you typed. If you find this
fixes things you may need the username mapping option.
                                                                
Let us know if this fixes your problem.

You can not have a machine name and a user name that are the same.
