Linux Client to Windows 2003 Network. Help


I am a noob to linux but am an experienced IT person. For reasons unknown I am unable to connect to a Windows 2003 network via Linux. The problems are the same whether Mandrake 9.2 or Red Hat 9. I have modified the SMB.CONF per instructions. But still cannot connect to network resources. I see them but am prompted for username and password. No matter what I put in, it is no use. What am I missing?

Samba has 2 sides..
the server, for people to connect to you, config file smb.conf...
and a client, to connect to other shares..., smbclient.. (not controlled by smb.conf)
Browsing a net neighbourhood is a quite different programme, but uses these base tools..

Try mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=password,uid=localuser,gid=localgroup //server/share /mnt/share

Make sure /mnt/share exists and is chmod 777 & localuser & localgroup are suitable otherwise you cannot read or write to the files.
username must have adequate permissions on the remote server as well..

Look at man smbmount for more options..
