Hi All, I'm new to the list, but basically I've got some problems with Samba & Win 2K, XP or ME.
I have a Slackware 8.0 server & 3 PC's with XP or ME No Domain controllers or anything, just a Workgroup. Samba version was 2.2.0a but after having problems trying to connect XP Home edition, then changing to XP Pro with still the same problem I decided to pulling the distro ver of samba & update to 2.2.4 from source... hoping that maybe there was a bug or two in relation to XP.. Unfortunately one of the I'm also using encrypted passwords to simplify the windows install. Basically the problem is now this, after XP/ME boots, the username and password are entered, the samba logs confirm successful login... Windows then hangs. All I can decipher from the logs is that a file /DESKTOP.INI is being referenced... nothing can be done on the PC during this "hang" which after many minutes, logs indicate a successful disconnect from the service. If the network is pulled the problem goes away with the user being able to use the PC normally, obviously with no server, however plugging the PC back in to the network causes the PC to again lockup. I define lockup in this case as the mouse moves but appears no icons or start button can "pressed" though there is a response serveral(many) minutes later to that previous attempt to "do" something.... Permissions of the shares is set to 777 I hope someone can shed some light on this.... At the moment I look somewhat a fool after recomending Linux/Samba with problems like this. I have installed many Linux/Samba sites though to date XP was never used, it has always been the lesser evils of Windows installed.
