That you are getting a password prompt on starbase at all indicates that you are connecting to earth, but earth is probbaly rejecting your login. While voyager\foo and \starbase\foo may not be the same user, in my experience as long as you are using the correct password for your Samba user earth\foo, the username "foo" should work fine from starbase. Are you seeing anything odd in the Samba logs on earth?
Well on both XP boxes the username is my name, Andrew DeFaria, and the passwords are indeed the same. On the Linux box I use a username of just andrew. smbusers maps "Andrew DeFaria" -> andrew and this works just fine for Voyager but again, not for Starbase. The user andrew on the Linux box has the same password as the two XP boxes.
No, I'm seeing nothing strange in the Samba log files. I think the fact that nmblookup is telling in that it cannot seem to find the machine Starbase but it can fine the machine voyager. I don't know why. I've taken steps to insure that /etc/hosts on the machines all reflect the proper IP addresses. I've even created an /etc/samba/lmhosts so that the proper IP addresses are denoted there.
Perhaps your wireless network is on a different subnet from your wired one? In that case a host allow line in smb.conf may be the culprit.
I don't think so. The IP addresses involved are voyager: 192.168.1.100, earth: 192.168.1.101 and starbase: 192.168.1.102.
What happens when starbase is on the wired network instead of the wireless one (assuming you have a normal ethernet port on starbase).
I thought of that but argh! Now I gotta fine a wire that long! :-(
Well it's not that far away and I could always move the machine (but was hoping to avoid that).
BTW: Starbase can browse to shares on Voyager and Voyager can browse to shares on Starbase. At least I think I did that before - I'll have to check tonight.
