I am running a Win2k Advanced server, networked to a Win 95 workstation. The Win95 workstation will allow me to map to shared drives on the server, but the server will not allow me to connect to shares on the Win95 workstation.
1) I am using the same username and password as my win95 login. I get "Incorrect username or password". I am attempting this logged on to the server as administrator, but am supplying the correct set of credentials. I do not have a domain controller configured, but rather a 'workgroup'.
The server see's the share, but will not let me connect. Any help would be much appreciated.
2) Also does anyone know what the correct registry fix is for a win2k Advanced server to connect to a Samba share? This is a dual homed server, but under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ I do not see '\Rdr\Parameters', or '\VxD\
VNETSUP', again keeping in mind that this is a dual homed server.
Thanx in Advance, kauerbach@telocity.com

1. I don't expect to get points for this, but this answer will help you greatly. 95 is dead, your trying to understand a dead language nobody wants to speak. File Sharing on it is also a joke. Upgrade to 2000, or NT if your machine can't handle 2000. I don't expect you to ever be in a situation where a 2000 server will need to communicate with a windows 95 file server.

2. My dualhomed server connects to an OS X file server and a Snap server, both running Samba. Try one nic at a time, if it fails, reinstall with one nic. If that fails, turn the power on on the linux box.

to win2k see another pc that is not win2k i suggest you to make a domain and use the active directory in mix mode so you can be able to log into win2k otherwise is going to happen that you won't be able to log into the win2k server.

regarding samba, i recommend recommend to install nfs file on your win2k server so you don't have to tweak your register and on your linux box you can create an account that way is more easy to share your linux box and win2k server

check this article i got from ms so you can save time in sharing your win2k and linux boxhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q324089&
