[Samba] 2.2.8: browsing and accessing Sun from Windows XP
Hello, First.... I have followed BROWSING.txt exactly on setting up WINS to assist with browse list collection. I set up a workgroup that just includes a bunch of Suns running Samba 2.2.8 across about 6 networks. $ smbclient -L <domain_master_browser_host> -U % run on the domain master browser shows all of the hosts on the 6 different networks after a while. Great. And from an XP system on one of those networks, I can click on a the "Microsoft Windows Network" and see the Workgroup. BUT, when I click on it, the hourglass comes up after a while and just says <workgroup> is not accessible - maybe you do not have permissions to access it The account is not authorized to login from this host. On a Win98 system, I can open up the workgroup and see the hosts, but I get the same error when I try to click on a host. I added map to guest = bad password to smb.conf, but this did not help (my XP login and Sun login are the same). Debugging on smbd turned up to 10 and snoops show no traffic to the DMB (I didn't expect any, but I didn't know what else to try). Second.... I tried using map network drive with the fqdn \\<domain_master_browser.domain.com>\bchill and it immediately fails wit the same message. Debugging on smbd turned up to 10 and snoops show 'stuff' this time, but the smbd logs show nothing that seems like an error or related to failed authentication in any way. Snoop show a little traffic, including the stage where XP tries to authenticate from HTTP (a little strange, but ok). I also have PlainTextPassword enabled. I don't get it. I have read everything I can. This has to be something simple that I either set up incorrectly/incompletely, or I am expecting this to work when it is not supposed to. I would appreciate any clues. I can send the snoop output or the smb logs, if anyone wants to see them. Thanks. Brian
