Russ & Rich,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Smbd and nmbd are running, I use the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart after I make changes to the smb.conf file. and
yes I have added the users to the smbpasswd file, enabled
PlainTextPassword on the windoze box. Like I said I can see the
shares, (so I know smbd and nmbd are running) but cannot connect. I
have been using samba for about a year and a half, I thought I ran into
most of the problems one could face, NOT! I turned the log files up to "9",
the only thing that looks out of the ordinary is this.

I'm not exactly sure what it is but it don't look good. That's why I believe
thier may be a service that I need for samba that's not running .
After not beeing able to connect I retrived my (previously working)
smb.conf file from my ever prudent backup of /etc "before the upgrade to
7.0" that still doesn't work. Which again may point to something other
than samba itself.
Thanks again
Mike
