RE: Win2k and SAMBA problem
Hi, Morgan,
First of all, thanks for reply.
>This is almost certainly a very simple thing.
I know. The only question remain which.
>Have you turned on encrypted passwords?
Yes. I have turned WINS, also. I have tried other options, like Samba
announce (Win NT 5), protocol options and other, applied latest patches
to W2k, but nothing changed, Win98 works without problems, Win2k do not
see Samba server at all. This is obviously culprit of Win2k, but I could
not figure out how to find it.

Yes, it is so. But I also have guest shared folder, it should be visible
to everyone. However, Win2k can connect to my Linux box only through ftp
or www, but not smb.

OK, please do it. I am only need Win2k specific setup. Win98 do not have
problems whatsoever.
