I have some 30 XP boxes in one offices joined to a w2k domain. The w2k server has no problem mapping drives on the samba server, however, the XP workstations refuse. Put in user name and password in the box after mapping, and it just pops back up like you've entered a wrong pass/user name. I have changed signorseal to 0 in registry to no avail. Of course, when the server was NT4, I had no problem. And if the XP boxes are in workgroup mode rather than domain mode there's also no problem maping the samba drives. Any advise would be appreciated, as I'm about to roof test the worthless w2k server.
Use tail -f to watch your logs (you may have to tweak your log level in smb.conf to at least 3). Attempt your mapping connections and see if you can define the error.

Nope, the problem arose when I upgraded the NT 4 domain controller to w2k. Further, I have 1 XP box that can --usually-- map a drive on the samba server. Up untill last week my XP work station could map samba drives. After a recent reboot, no dice. I have to doubt that machine accounts on the stand alone samba server is the problem. In workgroup mode the XP machines have no problem mapping the samba share. Jason Balicki wrote:>Tom Skeren <> wrote: > > >>I have some 30 XP boxes in one offices joined to a w2k domain.
