Connection to Samba from Win2k/SP2

["Angus Scott-Fleming" <angus@geoapps.com>]

I can't seem to do it.  I plan to use Samba boxes as login servers on 
networks currently running NT4 as we phase out the NT boxes so I really need 
to get this working with full PDC capabilities, but I thought I'd start slow, 
so I set up a Debian Woody box with the latest Samba using dselect.

The Samba box is running 2.2.3a-6 and can be seen and connected to just fine 
from a Win98SE box (\\WIN98SE):

------- Included Stuff Follows -------
C:\>net view
Servers available in workgroup FLEMING.
Server name            Remark
----------------------------------------------------------
\\SAMBOX               sambox (Samba 2.2.3a-6 for Debian)
\\WIN98SE              IBM PC3000GL PII/256mb/3.2gb
\\TPAD_WIN2K
The command was completed successfully.

However, a Win2k/SP2 box on the same LAN can't see it.  

Here's the smb.conf file from the Samba box (minor word-wrapping may occur
on the longest lines):
