Think about "encrypted password = true" in smb.conf. > obviously. smb.conf is pretty much default, I changed workgroup name. > > THe PC is on a corp domain which has nothing to do with samba server. > DOes this matter?? It matters. You have the choice to put your samba server into a workgroup with diffrent name to the domain, or you put your samba server as a member to your domain. The first is very easy. The second will integrate the server seamlessly to yout network. > The PC and server are NOT on the same subnet. Does that matter??

Please read the "Samba-Howto-Collection" in your tarball. Most of the questions and answers, also with step by step instruction to make a samba server runnning wil help you. My own expirience is to read the man page of smb.conf side by side to output of "testparm -s " will teake the best effect to understand the configuration an possibilities of samba.
