similar to: Samba in win98 executing Solution 6 - Get error "password incorrect" and disconnected to mapped drive

Hi all! I'm using Samba v2.0.4b with Mac OS X. My Win98 machines are giving me behavior that I'm having difficulty diagnosing: * The server doesn't show up under Network Neighborhood. * Map Network Drive doesn't work with the "netbios name" I specified. I may be confused, but it doesn't work with the "workgroup name", either: \\NETBIOSNAME\SHARE NAME

Please pardon me if this has been solved already and I missed it, I am new to the list. I'm getting "Incorrect Password" from win98se when trying to connect to my linux machine (running samba). Apparantly this is a common problem because there is a fix on the microsoft site. but their recommended fix is to install the CHAP protocol, which I cannot find any information about. I

Hi, I'm running samba 2.2.5 on linux, with Win98 clients using it as a logon server. Whenver I try to log onto the TEST domain, I get a very instant "Incorrect Parameter" msg from Windows. Client IP 141.97.52.12 with the samba box being 141.97.52.249. I think my smb.conf looks ok: <--snip--> [global] workgroup = TEST netbios name = TEST server string =

Is it possible to configure syslinux.cfg on a floppy to start Win98 on a secondary hard drive? If so, how is this done? Currently I have Linux and Win98 on the primary hard drive, and when I attempt to use the floppy to start Win98 on the second hard drive, I simply start Win98 on the first drive. I have tried many different approaches, all to no avail, and I would really appreciate some

Hi! I'm running a RedHat 7.2 server with Samba 2.2.3a - but recently I have a problem that mapped drives on Windows 2000 workstations get disconnected and have problems reconnecting (error message is something like "local device name already in use" when I try to browse the drive in Windows Explorer). Any idea what causes this problem ? Regards, /Brian

Got a bit of an odd one folks.... I have a samba 2.3 server running on a Caldera Openlinux 2.3 box, it works great except for one thing that I am not sure whether is the issue of the application or a Samba one. It appears to be an application issue, but I can't help thinking there may be some other factor(s) involved here. On one of the client machines (win98) they are running Wordperfect

Greetings, I have configured Samba 2.0.5a as the master domain controller in a Samba server / Win98 client configuration (no NT anywhere) and most everything works great. Users are authenticated and shares are browsable. I configured the [netlogon] share using the example from the Blair book. Right out of the block it worked like a champ. However, at some point the netlogon.bat stopped being

Hello, we have a samba 3.0.10 running as a PDC for a network of 50 Windows 2000/XP clients. The clients sometimes experience a problem, that their home folder (shared as \\server\home\) which is mapped to drive Z: randomly disconnects in Windows. This is usually related to the network load on the workstation - for example if the user is working in Outlook, which has its database stored on

Hi all I was wondering if it is at all possible to have a users folder mapped when a user logs onto the server. I have a student lab here with 30 machine and have 400 users, they are connecting to a Linux server. We have given each user a space of 3Mb on the server so they can store their work on. I can creat a shortcut to the server so they can access it by double clicking on the shortcut.

Most likely to do with the way that Win95 tries to access directories. Rename your directories to all lower case, and my guess is you'll resolve the problem. You can force lowercase names (this has been our solution here) or you can

Just got Wine 1.1.13 on Ubuntu 8.10 tried to map D: to my Windows partition /dev/sda5 /media/DATA but Wine wouldn't keep my choice and reverts to /media/cdrom0. Found out that permissions for ~/.wine/dosdevices/d: were root only and couldn't change them. So I deleted d: & d:: and made new symbolic links $ sudo rm -r /home/me/.wine/dosdevices/d* $ ln -s /media/DATA

Hi All, I have a rather unique (at least from reading the archives) situation that has me stumped, and I'm hoping the gurus can help. Here's my problem, I have a Solaris 2.8 server running Samba 2.2.8 which sits on two networks (no routing between networks). On one side of the Samba server are 100 PCs running a mix of Win95 and Win98 which have touch screens and no keyboards, that are

Hello, I was previously using samba-3.3.3 on my linux machine. I could 'map a drive' from a Windows XP machine to access files on the linux machine. If I rebooted the Windows machine, and tried to access the share again by clicking on the mapped drive icon, I would be denied, but I would be given a prompt in which to type in a username and password. The samba log.clients on the linux

hi everyone, i feel like this problem should have come up a thousand times before but can't seem to find anything about on google. i am no expert and i don't know much samba lingo but i hope you understand me. If you open a symlink (or hard link for that matter) in windows (2000) over samba, say a blah.doc file, which looks like -rw-rw-r-- 1 francis galexia 2567 Feb 5 12:33

Francis, I just rebooted my Precision 470 and watched...nothing :( I see the boot menu, and then everything goes blank - as in just a blinking cursor until I get the login prompt. No idea what it's doing - but I don't even see the scrubbing free memory output...

Hi all: I recently upgraded form win98->winxp pro for my desktop box, which accesses two samba filesystems for various tasks. When I upgraded to winxp, I noticed that there is this persistent 'lag' when trying to access either one of the mapped network drives, where on win98, that was never a problem. I'm using a workgroup instead of a domain ( don't know how to setup windows
