Mixon > F.T.C. Enterprises > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ICQ 26147713 Are you using encrypted passwords? This sounds like it could be your problem. Encrypted passwords is a GOOD thing and once you know how it easy it is you will wonder why you never did it before... In /etc/smb.conf uncomment line for encrypting passwords and then as root in a terminal do smbpasswd -a username_here It is possible to turn it off on the windows side of the problem so that you don't have to use encrypted passwords but it is a dumb idea. Much easier to be safe. Fix it in the linux side and whatever windows machine hooks in will work.
