Ok, I thought I had this problem licked. As local Administrator, when I .... Start:Settings:Control Panel:Users and Passwords Then try to [Add] a domain user By clicking [Browse] I get this Box: ----------------------------------------------------- Enter Network Password You are logged on with an account that does not have access to IMAGING Enter the name and password of an account with permission for this domain and click OK For example domain\username Connect as: Password: ------------------------------------------------------ It doesn't matter what I do it never authenticates me. I've tried a number of smb.conf changes and nothing seems to work. Nonetheless I've include my present smb.conf at the bottom. Also, I don't seem to be getting errors in my log files. I've tried tcpdumping everything from the client machine and there seems to be no activitiy when I enter the login name password from the client. Any observations helpful.
