samba - Jun 2005 - FC4, Samba 3.0.14-2, Windows 2K: cannot access home directory

What might be the possible causes of an smbclient NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
error?  smbclient generates this error when I attempt to connect to my [homes]
share from a Mandrake Linux 10.1 (Samba 3.0.7) box to my Fedora Core 4 box
(Samba 3.0.14a-2).  Similarly, my Windows 2000 machine complains that folder
"\\Fedora\derek is not accessible. The network name cannot be found." 
I can
browse all the shares and read shares 'public' and 'data' (see
below), but
despite having both Samba and file write permissions, I cannot write to these
shares.

I do not encounter these problems on my Mandrake 10.1 PC (Samba
3.0.7).

What might be the problem and what is the solution?  Has Samba
changed significantly between versions 3.0.7 and 3.0.14a-2?

Server configuration:


Fedora Core 4
Samba 3.0.14a-2
Windows 2000

Thank you

On FC4 you need to make SELinux permissive before you can get your
samba works as Ed Oliver said

You can do this by changing the line
SELINUX=enforcing

to

SELINUX=permissive

in file named config in /etc/selinux

So far it works well with me.
