[Samba] Accessing shares through XP on an NT4 domain
Hello! I have a Mandrake 9.1 box running Samba 2.2.7 (not ready to upgrade yet). Using both Swat and vim-ing the smb.conf file (and restarting after every change, just to see), I've finally gotten back to where I was yesterday, which is for my XP computer to be able to see the Mandrake box. Problem is, I have to type in the IP address of the box. For whatever reason, it doesn't show up in Network Neighborhood. That's problem one. Second of all, I can see the three printers available on the Mandrake computer, as well as the shares I've created. But when I doubleclick the shares, I get a password request window that forces my username as guest, and none of my passwords work. Prior to that, I was at least able to change usernames, even though none of my passwords work. I want to be able to authenticate to my NT domain, but all attempts to do this have failed. Let me at least ask how to get the NetBIOS name, DRAKEJAX, to appear to the Network Neighborhood, and how to remove the forced guest username when I connect to a share.

Do you have a Dummy Device for your network enabled? I'll bite. What's a dummy device? And are you able to find the Mandrake Box by using the windows search for-function? Ironically, I just tried it. It came up in my search (which may mean that the NetBIOS recognition through the network may take some time), but it prompted me for a username and password, which don't work properly anyway. That's question number three. Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

With the dummy networking device you can configure an IP-adress independent of an existing networking device. It is also loadable as a module. But it could make some trouble with Samba.
