I just upgraded FC1 to FC2. Everything is working fine except now when i I try to go to them Linux box from XP Pro It prompts me for a password. The user name is grayed out but wants a password. (has guest in the grayed out box) It was working before the upgrade now it's not.

I've not setup any passwords in Samba nor any users.

I'm using the Samba Configuration Editor as I always have.

System Setting > Server Settings > Samba >

Under the Basics tab here are my settings:
Directory: /var/www
Basic Permissions: Read/write

Under the Access Tab
Allow access to everyone


Under Preferences > Server Settings:
Workgroup: realm (same as all the others)

Security:
Authentication Mode: Share
Authentication Server:
Kerberos Realm:
Encrypt Passwords: no
Guest Account: nobody


I've tried changing the Mode and Guest Account to different settings without any differences.

Anyone have any Ideas?
Thanks.

try access \\linuxbox\folder
with the shared folder behind

i think i encounter ur prob too...
let me know if u find the full solution

i've similar trouble.
i use hda with a lot of linux/unix (multiple partitions) and hdb for data (one partition).
i need to share hdb with samba for other win and mac computers.
Fedora Core 2 doesn' permit to share in rw my hdb.
I try to use system-config-samba, webmin and swat.
if i share other dirs under /home all is ok.
i think that under /mnt/hdb system doesnt access permissions for sharing.
any suggest?
thanks a lot folks
