do you have WinUser account created in the (debian) samba server
- what is the contents of smb.conf ??
- fix/check workgroup and encryption stuff
- fix/check pdc options
- fix/check your nmb/smb ports on the firewalls
to add users ...
debian# smbpasswd -a WinUser
to test it
win98:C> NetworkNeighborhood -> you should see your debian box
win98:C> printer manager --> you should see the printers on the
debian box
win98:c> you should be able to network map your
debian:/home/winUser onto your win98 box
- use the latest samba from samba.org and the default/verbose smb.conf
unless you know what options does blah and which ones to throw out
