similar to: WIN95 OSR2.1 problem solved

I found these articles that talk about the oplock_break problem (specifically they are related to problems with word97): http://support.microsoft.com/support/ntserver/serviceware/nts40/e9msge2bc.asp http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q163/5/25.asp Basically they say: either apply sp3 on the winnt client or disable oplock on nt server But they don't say anything about win9x,

There have been several postings about this phenomenon and we too fell into it when we introduced Win98 clients onto the network. Somewhere on the web I found the answer: By default Win98 sends passwords to a server encrypted, and by default SAMBA compiles with encrypted passwords switched off. Therefore the password one types in from a Win98 client is received by SAMBA in an encrypted form.

If samba isn't authenticating win98 clients, esp. if you get a password request for IPC$, try editing the win98 registry. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSup and add a new DWORD entry. Name it EnablePlainTextPassword and set it to 1. The capitalization of VNETSup may be different but the rest is exactly as I found it on my system. After a reboot of the

Hello, I have a problem width some excel files in my Samba File server because when I try to open from a WinMe client, the client machine always craches width a error in the vredir.vxd and ifsmgr.vxd. I think is a problem in oplocks or something like that. In the mdb files, the MS Access tolds me that can't open the file exlusively! Can anybody help me? What configuration should I have in

Does anyone Know the procedure for Windows 2000 workstation, in order to not encrypt passwords. What I needed is something similar to the transcription I make below that works for windows nt4 and 98. Thank's Emanuel Duarte (Portugal) ********************************** This should take care of the "clear text password" problemsyou've encountered: For Win 98 (To enable

I have SuSe 7.0 newly installed, with default/networking packages installed. It is installed on 2nd partition (Win2k on starting cyl's) and use floppy to boot Linux. It is a 333MHz Celeron, 128Mb Ram, 30Gb drive 1/2 for win, 1/2 for linux - lots of room =) I have a Kingston EtheRx KNE100TX adapter, running CAT5 to a LinkSys BSFR41 Cable/DSL router. The only way i could get the network to run

Hi. Have FreeBSD and Samba 2.05a with lots of Win95 rev 2 clients. With the EnablePlainTextPassword=1 registry setting on the Win95 boxes I my students have been logging in fine. We now have a few Win98 boxes I'd like to connect, but I can't log in - I get refused at the IPC$ share. I can log in if I use rhosts, however I don't want to do this for security reasons. The key is

Ok, anyone know if we're subject to the same bug as MS fixed in 95B vredir.vxd? A test, with log level 3, sound like it's in order. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

This only happens with PCs on the other end of a bridged 56k DDS line. It also affects DOS and W98 clients the same. Clients can log onto the domain ok, and browse. But trying to drag a file, or even right-click it in W98 explorer, cause the machine to hang, and eventually blue screen with a VREDIR VXD error. If I copy to Samba, sometimes it works, but then the file is zero bytes. Copying from

The updated Vredir.vxd file corrects a problem deleting files on Samba servers running on UNIX- based computers. This problem can cause local files to be deleted.

Hello all, I have just installed samba on my linux machine, but failed to browse Linux resources from a Windows2000 machine. But if i changed the 'security = user' to 'security = share', i can browse linux from Windows2000 box, i don't think i have problems with the connections. I guess there must be something wrong with the password authentication methods. I read the

Dear All: I have a problem about the printer server of samba. I instlled samba on IRIX 6.5. When I print file from PC, it asked me passwd first and any passwd is not valid. I change the /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Service/Vxd/VNETSUP and add DWORD value as 1. Then after I enter my passwd, it does not show error information, but I still can not get anything from printer, somtime I

Hello, My question is the same as "Windows 98 Passwords" in your Samba FAQ replacing Windows 98 with Windows 2000. What is the registry to be modified to enable Plain Text Password with Windows 2000 ? I tried HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP as in Windows 98 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters as in NT4 but none work.

Hi everybody, I already posted a similar message sometime ago regarding performance problems when various user are trying to share a common Microsoft ACCESS MDB file. Thank you for the messages I received regarding this problem. Unfortunately I still haven't managed to find a solution. It looks like this performance problem is also visible if you try to access any file already open by another

Howdy: I'm new to this samba stuff, but I've run across a problem that doesn't seem to be documented anywhere. It seems that OSR/2 clients (with all the M$ system updates; I already added the EnableClearTextPassword key) that have had their TCP/IP settings tweaked in the registry (eg, MaxMTU=576, TTL=32, RWIN added, etc) for DUN connections have mucho problems with a samba

We recently committed to replacing our Netware server with a Samba server running on an old SPARC box (using RedHat 6.0). This seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I'm wondering... We have two labs of PCs (each of 16 machines, all running Windows 95) and we use PC-Rdist to ensure that the hard disk images on the PCs are kept fairly clean and up-to-date. The master disk images are

I've tried multiple ways to get into terminal server via WINE, but have had no success. I've got Notes, Service Center, Internet Explorer... pretty much all running smoothly... but when I try to use Internet explorer to get into it, I get a box that is outlined where the desktop is supposed to be (on the IE screen, and an object load error in the IE Log)... I then tried to run mstsc.exe

I've recently set up a new server running RH 6.1 and Samba 2.0.5a. All our older servers are running 1.9.18p10, and were left that way on the "If it ain't broke" principle. On the new server, I've noticed that DOS wildcards don't work correctly for some (but not all) old 16-bit DOS programs running under Win95/98. The symptom is that the program only
