[Samba] Re: problems accessing samba server from Pocket PC with Windows Mobil e
Hi there, I am experiencing exactly the same problems like described below. I do not have a solution right now, but I found a work-around that may help you. As soon as I change the security parameter in the smb.conf file from security=user to security=share, mounting shares to Pocket PC seems to work. (HP iPAQ 4150 running Windows Mobile 2003) I am running SAMBA V 3.0.2.a and 2.6.4.2-52 kernel as provided by the SuSE Linux 9.1 Pro distribution. So set security=share ( do not forget to specify which user can access the share in the "valid user =" section for the particular share) and restart the SAMBA Server. In my case this worked.
