Re: [Samba] Samba and Windows XP
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?

If you had made an error logging to a Samba server, XP won't even try to log you again second time, it will just report an error. I solve it by changing the samba password if it is not the same as the XP one, and then rebooting the XP client to forget all cached passwords. If passwords are the same, just reboot the XP box. I never get this behaviour with Win2K clients, though.

I went ahead and made that change to smb.conf as you suggested. As far as the encryption settings in windows, I have not made any changes to those. Just a thought.

Re: [Samba] Samba and Windows XP - RESOLVED
Thanks to all who gave it their best shot to assist me. After double checking my log files again I noticed in /var/log/messages that nmbd was trying to communicate with my Wireless NIC instead of the Ethernet NIC. I disabled the Wireless NIC temporarily and then I double checked the settings on the Ethernet NIC. It turnes out I had mistyped the subnet mask. I corrected this and now I can access Samba from windows. I reenabled the wireless NIC and everything is working wonderfully now. Looks like the soak in the Jacuzzi really helped clear my head. :-D Thanks again to all who gave me advice Jason - Original Message - From: Simone [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Jason Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 2:05 AM Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba and Windows XP Just another easy try, did you install SP2 on XP?
