[Samba] 2.2.4 and XP Pro

[Brian Corman]

I have Samba 2.2.4 running on RedHat 7.3 and I am trying to connect a Win XP Pro laptop to it. I installed the latest (as of today) registry fix on the laptop, but when I browse to the samba server in network neighborhood, I get the message: \\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.” The computer names are different though, so I don’t know where the duplicate is coming from, if this is the actual problem, which I suspect it is not (there are no other computers on the network), and my name and password on XP are the same as my account on the linux box. I stripped down my smb.conf file to simply:                [global]            workgroup = MYGROUP              [homes]               guest ok = no               read only = no to get it to work, so I know there are no password problems, but it still gives me the same error messages. Using smbclient on the localhost works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian
