Hello, I've been trying to setup a linux box as a samba fax server. Using Suse 9.3, kernel 2.6.11, samba 3.0.13 Smb.conf is setup to use winbind and security=ads. Joined the domain(W2K). Kinit, wbinfo, getent all work no problem. However, there is one strange problem when attempting to connect to the server from an XP box on the network. When I try to access the server through Network Neighborhood I am only authenticated as a guest and only guest shares are available. If I try to access other shares I get a password prompt that never accepts any password. But now here is the strange thing, if I connect first through DOS Prompt using: "net use * \\SMBServer\Share /USER:DOMAIN\user" THEN I am correctly authenticated and can get access to all the shares also through Windows Explorer???????? Please does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? I have been searching lists and googling for months to no avail. Thanks in advance.
