Samba and Win2000 – tried everything?

by cjames53 . Updated 24 years, 1 month ago

Ok, I’ll ask again … I can’t believe there’s nobody out there! Any help would really, really be appreciated.

My Win2000 box doesn’t see the Samba server. Ok, ok, you’re all thinking, “Edit your registry!” or “enable lmhosts!”. Well, I did all that … nothing. Here are the facts:

Four other Win98/ME boxes have no trouble talking to Samba.

The Win2K machine has no trouble talking to the network (ftp, http, etc. all work fine), and can ftp to/from the Linux box.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE … enableplaintextpassword is set to 0x1

Running Linux kernal 2.4.7-10

Running Samba 2.2.3a

Some of the possibly-relevant smb.conf lines:

security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
read bmpx = No
dns proxy = No
winssupport = Yes
name resolve order = lmhosts bcast host
guest account = pcguest
encrypt passwords = Yes

Thanks in advance for any insight — I’m really baffled by this.
