errors from my Windows machines. I suspect the problem is now
on the Windows side.
Using Windows Explorer, I can see the Samba server, and when I click on it I get a login screen. But when I try to login I get:
******************************************************************* ***********************
\\LOCALHOST is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. Go to System in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again.

Now, I know that my home network does not have duplicate computer names. I have a workgroup setup among three Windows machines and it works fine.
Might the problem be that I cannot belong to two different
workgroups? The Samba server shows up as part of MDKGROUP.
In /etc/smb/conf you must set the workgroup to the same name (case-sensitive) that your windows users have.
