Hi,
I hoping someone out there can help resolve a small annoying problem
with win2000 machines connecting to Samba.
Have a linux server running samba in which all our office winX desktops
connect to. This is running fine with all winX machines having the reg
hack done so connecting to the server is not a problem.
The problem lies when Win2000 desktops initially try to connect to the
linux server. An error is received with an incorrect username and
password message. It then prompts for an alternative username and
password in which case a successful connection is established after the
user enters his details.
>From what I can gather is that the Win2000 initially tries to connect to
Samba with the "machine name/username" combination. I believe Samba is
set up so that it only the "username" of the client is used for
authentication.
Does anyone know a work around this problem?. Granted it's a small
issue.. but not when each staff member complains about it each
morning.
regards
Michael
