Hi all: I have a strange authentication problem. Samba box is running on a local network with about 300 Win2000 and WinXP clients as a domain member. No problems with local authentication to printer resources. On the WAN, all other locations with Win2000 and WinXP clients can access resources no problem. There are also Terminal Servers in each location (about a dozen different cities) and all Terminal Server clients can access Linux/Samba resources except one. This one asks for user/password authentication (which you are never able to successfully provide). If you browse to the IP address instead of the netbios name, you can at least see the printer/file resources but get an error message "unable to connect" when installing a printer. The same user login on different Terminal Servers works fine except this one.
