Hi, it could be a stupid thing to try, but I was thinking you could try
to connect using "net use". This way you provide credential even if
you're not prompted.
net use Z: \\ipsambaserver\sharename /USER:jason password:yourpassword
Have a nice day

My Windows XP account name is Jason with the same password that I use
for samba.
I do not see anywhere in windows where I can configure anything. When
I go into "My Network Places" on Windows XP and choose "View Workgroup
Computers". I see the samba server icon. When I double click it it
does not give me any prompt for a username and password. It just pops
up that error message that I pasted in my initial email. If there is
an area in Windows XP that I need to configure. Please let me know
Jason

I just created the samba user 'jason' now. However, it never
prompts me to enter in a username or password. Is there some
security setting that I need to enable on the samba side to make it
prompt me when I double click on the icon in Windows XP?

I am trying to setup a samba server on Redhat Fedora 2 and trying
to connect to it through Windows XP Professional.
This samba server is a standalone server. I can see it in the
Network Places. Every time I try to connect to it I get the
following error in Windows.
"\\Samba is not accessible. You might not have permission to use
this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server
to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was
not found."
Here is my smb.conf file that I created using SWAT. Can anyone
help me?
Thank You

Did you create username " jason " on server as a samba user??
smbpasswd -a jason
Then enter password, and when later try to connect to server suply
that username and password.

I think that samba will allways ask you for username and password,
when try to connect. Maybe you should do some configuration with
your windows machine.
Try to log on your win box with the same username and pass, as you
created them on samba server. , and if it works it could be problem
with win configuration,...
or
Check samba status /etc/init.d/smb status /etc/init.d/nmb status
or
Check local file permission on share that you want to access. Samba
is configured to allow access to share to Jason, but local file
permission should be configured to allow him access to. When you try
to access some share, it's chesked local and share permission.
