hi--
my samba server runs on the machine that has mandrake 9.2 on it.
i have an account on my windows XP machine whose username is tom and password is jerry.
i create an account in linux using the same username and password above. i then add the password to the password database using smbpasswd.
when i log into windows using the same login info, i can see the machine in Network Neighborhood.however i cannot see the list of shares because when i double click on the machine it brings up this login screen.and even though i enter the correct login name and password the process doesnt go beyond the login screen.i dont even see a message saying that the login information is incorrect.
all ports that are of interest to samba are open.
when i run smbclient with a particular username i get NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
any ideas on how to deal with the problem?
