I have been researching and researching this but with no luck. Whenever I try to logon onto a Samba 2.2.7 PDC from Win98, I get an error to the effect: The share name was not found. Be sure you typed it correctly. I wish to note that my W2K clients log on no problem. Various articles I've seen on this touch upon the following issues: 1) encrypted passwords. I have encrypted passwords enabled on the Samba server as well as on the client. 2) mapped shares. I removed all previous shares to be sure it wasn't mapping to the former domain. 3) somebody had something about registry entries that refer to maps to other computers. I don't think there are any in my registry, but then how can I be sure? 4) remove all .pwl files. There are none. Now one thing I do have enable are local policies. The primary restrictions merely state that the client must be authenticated by a PDC in order to log in and that passwords are not cached. Nothing else seems to be relevent. In order to test this computer I did actually turn off the 2 aforementioned policy restrictions. But nonetheless I still got the same error. Any other ideas? I understand that this is an old topic, but I've been going through the archives. Curtis
