[Samba] strange error

[Patrick Reolon]

Hello,   Actually I am having a strange error where I hope you can help me: As far as I know I think at least Samba is configured right but I don’t reach to connect from a Windows machine to the samba (on RedHat) machine: I tried to do following things to see where the error is:   * Testparm runs without a problem. * When typing “$ smbclient -L yourhostname” it asks for a Password, where I don’t know which one exactly (root password does not work). it gives the error “NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE” * When typing “$ smbclient -L yourhostname -U%” it gives the error “NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD” * When typing „$ smbclient //yourhostname/aservice” (replacing aservice with a valid Username) it gives the error “NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE” I can ping the linux machine from the windows machine but I don’t reach to ping the windows machine from the linux-terminal.     Any Idea where the error can be???   Thank you for any help   Patrick
