It was late last night and I forgot to include any useful information here. The 98 boot has an automatic (no password) logon. As I said, I can't use the Network Neighborhood to see anything on the server - in fact, it can't even see the workgroup, even after I double checked all the setting. However, I can attempt to attach to resources, but, e.g., when I try to attach to my mpp1100 printer, it posts a password input window for resource \\mhrichter\IPC$, but I can't figure out which password, and none of the ones I tried works. On the server side, I have (something like) this for my smbusers (I'm going from memory here, but it's not too hard): # root = administrator admin mark = mark guest = esther ruth guest smbguest nobody = pcguest (Yes, I have root access from the samba clients disabled.) The default login account is esther, but the passwords for guest and mark don't work, and no password also does not work. When I get home, I'll add an account for esther on the server, fix up the smbusers file and see what happens. Another anomaly - when I was logged into the XP boot as mark, I could not connect to the printer without specifying a password (with the "connect as another user" dodge), even though the passwords on both machines are the same. Ok, back to work. :-) Thanks, everyone, especially John. mhr _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
