In the Client for Microsoft Networks have you configured it to authenticate to the domain name (workgroup name)?

Consistent NetBIOS name resolution is critical to stable networking.

That conversation repets 3 times, and then win'98 gives up. I will send you under separate cover my smb.conf with which I do have user level access control working just fine. I suspect that there is something in you MS Windows Me configuration that is spooking you system, not the different buffer lengths. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
