You need to login to the windowz machine with a valid username/pass that exists on the linux box. Do this by adding "client for microsoft networks"

 

Did you enable passwords/encryption on the linux/SMB system?

Howdy all--

 

    I set up my Linux box at home using smb for NT Authentication, all went fine.

I can access files on the Linux box from my Windoze 95 machine, and my wifes

Windoze 98 machine and the kids box in the basement... BUT I recently bought

a new computer for the living room, it is a athalon 650Mhz with 17GB and 128MB Ram.

When I try to access the Linux box from this machine, it tells me access denied

and requests a password for $IPX  ??? None of the other machines even blink when

requesting files from it.. I have looked thru the smb.conf file and all looks good. The

setup appears to be exactly the way I set up the other machines.. But I cant get

the files.. I can telnet into the box fine, I can access the Internet fine, I can retrieve

HTML documents that reside on this box from a browser fine, I just cant access the

shared directories on it... What dumb mistake did I make?
