This is your first samba installation, so, I would think about your
smb.conf.
Why don't you post it?
What do you see with tcpdump during the interaction?
The smb.conf entries below let my windows98 boxes log on as a guest user
without difficulty:
# Global parameters
[global]
encrypt passwords = yes
netbios name = HAMMER2
interfaces = 192.168.0.2
security = SHARE
log level = 3
guest account = ftp
strict sync = Yes
[AllFiles]
comment = All Files
path = /
read only = no
guest ok = yes
To get rid of all pesky permissions problems, try making guest account =
root. (You do have a guest account, don't you?) Since I don't use passwords,
I can't tell you much about smbpasswd, but, you may need to add some users
with it.
