Hi,

I have a linux mandrake 9.1 server and there is a lot of windows xp home (8) that can access the samba. For some reason, two of them get the problem :

... Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more htan one username, are not allowed. ....

Something like that. I had the same problem with another computer but I thought it was a win xp home problem, so I rebooted the computer and it worked.

But when I reboot the two others, it doesn't always works... Actually, now it does'nt seem to do anything..

Here is my samba conf, if it can help.
