[newbie] VMware and Samba Passwords -possibly a bit OT
Hi Y'all, Having a bit of trouble with file sharing on the windows 98 guest on VMware. Although the passwords for windows login and Samba are the same, whenever I try to connect to the Linux host using Network Neighbourhood, I am informed that my password is incorrect. Don't know how many VMware users there are amongst you but if there are any that know how to deal with this problem, I'd appreciate some pointers. I've wasted a week's holiday trying to tweak this and R'ing all TFMs and I'm getting nowhere very slowly. If it matters, I'm using Mandrake 9.0 and VMware 3.2 with the built-in Samba running Windows 98 as guest. I've tried setting password level to 8, and using unencrypted passwords (although I might be doing that wrong). Please advise or point me at a useful source, life is passing me by while I'm bogged down in this.
