regarding my previous post: I am able to access my linux box from my WinXP Pro box, but I'm not able to access the WinXp Pro box from my linux box. I typed in smbclient \\\\hostname\\username, it contacted the WinXP machine and I was prompted for a password, when I typed it in I got this message: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE and sometimes I get this message:Domain=[MSHOME] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

I am running R.H. 8.0

Here is a copy of my smb.conf file, is anything wrong?

I'm not sure about this, but I think your password is not encrypted when it is sent to the XP box. I had this problem too and I don't know how to resolve it.

Not knowing what you are trying to do, I will assume you are trying to connect to a share on the windows PC.

This will work:

To list shares

smbclient -L <hostname>

To connect to a windows share:

smbclient \\\\hostname\\sharename

man smbclient for more details or see www.samba.org for all of the documentation. Since you don't have any problems with your windows connecting to your linux PC and a quick glance your smb.conf file appears to be ok.

I'm sorry this didn't work, it just askesd me for a password after I tried to list the windows shares, after entering the password I the login failure again.

All I'm trying to do is gain access to my winXP Pro box

My fault...
Try just pressing the enter key when it asks for the password.

I assume you have setup the share with the permissions on the XP box.

Also,
mount -t smbfs -o username=theusername,password=thepassword //hostname/sharename /mnt/mount_point

its probably a username problem on the XP machine. To test it make an account on the XP box with the same username/password you have on the Linux box.
As that user su to root and mount the share like so:

mount -t smbfs //machinename/sharename/ /local/mountpoint/

# /local/mountpoint/ is a variable so you will have to make your own directories. For example I have /mnt/mp3/ so I can listen to my music off my windows box.p

I just tried that and I got this error:
1344: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed

I don't understand why windows will not give me access?

what did u do to

1st I disabled the PAM restrictions in the Samba.conf file, than I relized I was making a mistke after I looked at michelk's response to my post a second time. When I was trying to connect to the windows share I was typing smbclinent \\\\hostname\\account name, and of course this should have been smbclient \\\\hostname\\sharename. Now I'm not even sure if disabling the PAM Restrictions had any effect on anything, I mean if you type in the correct command you should get the correct response. Now I'm working on trying to connect to the shared printer on the Windows Machine.
