If you are getting an $IPC message asking for a password then you need to enable smbpasswd encrypted file and add the user to it matching the windows users login and password.
Read the logs, there is a good explanation in /var/log/samba/* logs... thanks, George Vieira Network Engineer Citadel Computer Systems P/L -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Waterson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2001 7:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Windows ME and samba I have a windows machine and wish to print to the printer on the linux machine I have set up the networking and samba and all seems ok I can mount the windows shares using smbmount and transfer files I can see the linux machine in the network neighbourhood thingy. but when I click on it, it prompts for a password and I can go no further. I imagine this is due to the encrypted passwords Windows ME uses, so I hacked the registry to allow clear text passwords but still no go. I am mostly unfamiliar with windows and need some direction here to allow the windows machine to connect.
